I'm thinking of considerding a attendint dental hygenist as my career but I don't want to jump in and regret it later.. like what i've done with my esthetician job. Is there any way find out the nature of the job?

I think it's a reat career, especially if you have a family. It all depends on if you work well with the office your at. I have worked for a couple of dentists that I didn't really get along with but now that I have found an office that I love, I absolutely love my job. It can get a little monotoneous but so can most jobs.

any hygiene temp agencies in grand rapids, mi?

temp agencies use your skills and profit from them. they also prevent you from finding permanent placement as fees are involved if the employer is interested in hiring you full time. beware. it's a tangled web.

Try to work as a "Gopher" in a dental office(s). They may or may not pay you in this economy. Speak with actual Hygienists working not the schools to know more of "the reality, job market at present and forward".... Also, look into the State(s) where you would like to ultimately practice in. Do you enjoy sciences? There are a lot of courses in this. Also, there are pre-requisites to entering any programs....ask the schools about this...Expensive to also train...if you are presently working ; weekends would be the only time I'd recommend working due to the course loads. Good Luck with your decision!

Forget about "gopher" go get a dental assistant postition. Try it for a few months then you can shadow the hygienist and will get an idea of what autonomy comes with being the clinician.
Good luck

Anyone know any good Dental Hygiene agenices in Toronto??

Is anyone from Denver Co area? I am moving there next month from New Jersey and I hear the market is real bad for Hygienists out there due to the overflux of hygienists because there are so many hygiene schools .....do I have any chances of getting a job out there???

See if your own Dr. is willing to let you observe....BUT....just to let you know about this field....I am a 23yr Vet of D.H. and the pay is going down, TOO many are going into this field so that the few offices looking can pay you less and offer you ZIP! Think forward (past hourly pay) 20-30 yrs....think Nursing, Radiology....if you are interested in medical or go to D.A. school they tend to receive: "BENEFITS"!!! R.D.H.'s tend to just get hourly pay and maybe CPR and OSHA training....A very fortunate few find good offices ....but there are so many of us now that the ridiculous cost, stress,etc...is not worth it!

Jobs are pretty scarce unfortunately due to this economy but things are looking up for 2010. I have spoken to many dentists that are planning on bringing more staff on in the new year so be patient and keep looking. In the meantime, all dental hygienists and dental assistants looking for work can register for free at GapZap Dental Staffing located at www.gapzap.com and search available jobs. We have just launched and are trying to build out our unique and fully-automated dental staffing solution.

The theme of GapZap Dental Staffing is very similar to Monster.com but geared specifically for the dental industry. It is truly a unique service that allows dental practices and recruiters to post both temporary and temp-to-hire jobs for hygienists and dental assistants. Registration is free for dentists and recruiters and dental candidates looking for work and during our initial launch it is also free for Dentists and recruiters to post jobs and hire or place qualified candidates. As you know, it can be very tough for dentists to find and place qualified hygienists and assistants and this new service was created to give practices a better, cheaper alternative when it comes to staffing. But it was also designed to allow recruiters the opportunity to find and get in front of more dental candidates as well.

This is the only service of its kind right now and is an offering I believe can and will benefit the entire dental community when it comes to both hiring and finding employment. It is both efficient and cost-effective and as I said above, is absolutely free for dentists and recruiters during our initial launch. Please check us out, register today and if you find it useful help us get the word out.

THE DENTAL HYGIENE FIELD IS NOT GOING TO GET BETTER IN 2010. THE D.H. FIELDS WAGES ARE GOING DOWN, COMPETITION FOR THE FEW GOOD PRACTICES, BENS? RETIREMENT? DR.'S AREN'T OFFERING THESE MUCH ANYMORE.

Where do these people get their information? Better in 2010? For whom? The temp agencies that get part of your pay?

Suzanne in Terre Haute, Indiana said: Where do these people get their information? Better in 2010? For whom? The temp agencies that get part of your pay?

YES, Suzanne..."Good advice falls on Deaf Ears", I reitterate:"they
will see what happens when they graduate and are in competition for the few available good practices....maybe only hourly wage, reduced , due to the oversaturation, and the Dr.'s in the drivers seat....REALITY, be ready....can you pay back your loans....need a job first....so do many others....think forward and also start saving now...open an IRA....GL

You are right. They will also find out the hard way what we are talking about having to work for a#$holes when we cannot get that "good job", maybe for years hanging on to any hope. Having to fight daily for the rights of our unsuspecting patients because he/she is money crazy and only thinking of their student loans or new car or whatever. Dr is definitely in the drivers seat. Well put!

i agree!!! as a new grag. its almost impossible to get a job!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!

and it will only get worse instead of better!!!!! For all you people looking for jobs in different areas, read the posts!!! And for those of you that do have jobs, be thankful because any time and any day it can be gone...and for all you wanna be hygienists, take note, there is no security, no benefits, no nothing!!! so go into another field...unless your husband, brother, or any relative is a dentist!!

I agree once again! Any time and any day it can be gone is right!! There are so many hygienists needing a job that you basically have to keep your mouth shut and do what is asked of you whether it's right morally or ethically as you can be replaced on a whim. Then where are you going to go? I think many of us who have had this happen have had an "in the face" so to speak reality check. There is no security with our jobs. My last dr told me "don't get me wrong, you're a fantastic hygienist who can turn that chair over and you ALWAYS put your patients first" BUT, "you need a job that you can count on and hygiene is more of a day to day freelance type of job". I was absolutely stunned. I sat in my car in a state of shock realizing I had nothing. I had been giving 110% to this guy for years and when I got that last paycheck there would be nothing else. I felt so angry and also duped. I look back on the times I went into debt for house, cars, ect depending on my hygiene pay and think it's a miracle I didn't wreck my life! It's all well and good to have a goal but I agree with you, the wanna be hygienists should take heed and give it up.

This makes me sad to read....I hope you find something that will be more than you have ever dreamed of and make the rest of your life the best.

WOW!! I am more scared than ever!!! I am moving from New Jersey to Denver, CO. I just quit my Hygiene jobs at two different offices in New Jersey and I am so nervous I am not going to be able to find work out in Denver area!! When I first graduated Hygiene school 3 yeard ago I was in Heaven.....there was sooooo much work out there. Temp agencies were so busy also. I was making great money. Now........Nothing! Im thinking of a new career already!!! So sad!

Thank you. I'm all over the map with my emotions but I know I will settle down once I get into my education again. It has just about destroyed me trying to stay in this profession. I gave advice on here to someone else a few days ago to a RDH who felt stuck and I told her you are only stuck if you stay in hygiene. I need to practice what I preach. It's horrible to spend 15 years bettering yourself, continuing education, thinking you are at the top of your profession and then be setting at home daily thinking what am I going to do? I don't have a job?! I appreciate the support from everyone. My family doesn't understand. They say comments like, oh mom just go do something else. But it breaks me to have to do that. A hygienist is who I am.

At least if you graduated just 3 years ago you still have viable credits to transfer! I don't, am 53, and am starting from scratch because I put everything into hygiene. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise it's happening early for you. Good luck!

my friends and family not understanding is the hardest part...they put pressure on me and when I try to explain to them how things are right now they look at me like i am just giving up and not wanting to try.
