ABOUT HYGIENE WORTH

Better information. Better opportunities. A stronger dental hygiene profession.

Hygiene Worth was created to give dental hygienists better information about what their careers are worth—and better ways to discover opportunities that fit their lives.

Compensation in dental hygiene is about more than an hourly rate. Appointment length, schedule, paid time off, retirement benefits, health benefits, continuing education, clinical autonomy and practice environment can all affect the value of a position.

Hygiene Worth is building a more transparent picture of the profession by collecting compensation and workplace information directly from dental hygienists.

For hygienists

Use Hygiene Worth to understand your compensation, contribute to better industry data and tell us what your ideal position would look like. You don’t need to be actively searching for a job to participate.

For dental practices

Our goal is to help practices connect with hygienists based on what actually matters to both sides—not simply another résumé or job posting.
