Dental Hygienist

Primary Office - Forest, VA

Dental Hygienist | Forest, Virginia Full-Time or Part-Time | Flexible Schedule | In-Person $45–$50/Hour | Health & Dental Insurance | 401(k) Match | PTO | Employee Discounts Great Hygienists Deserve Great Practices. This Is One of Them. You already know the difference between a dental practice that treats hygienists like assembly-line workers and one that treats you like the licensed healthcare professional you are. This posting is for the second kind. A well-established dental practice in Forest, Virginia is hiring a Dental Hygienist who is passionate about patient care, respected for clinical expertise, and ready to work in an environment where quality comes first. Full-time and part-time options are available with a flexible schedule, competitive hourly pay between $45 and $50 per hour, and a benefits package that most dental offices in the Lynchburg area simply cannot match. Compensation and Benefits: The Full Picture No vague salary ranges. No fine print. Here is exactly what this position offers: Hourly Pay $45.00–$50.00 per hour based on experience Health Insurance Medical coverage available Dental Insurance Because a dental hygienist should absolutely have dental coverage 401(k) with Match Employer-matched retirement savings Paid Time Off PTO included for full-time and part-time Flexible Schedule Full-time or part-time options available to fit your life Employee Discounts Discounted dental services for you and your family $45–$50 per hour puts this position at the top of the pay range for dental hygienists in the Lynchburg, Forest, and Bedford County area. Add in benefits, flexibility, and a practice that actually values your work, and this is a hard opportunity to beat. What You Will Do Every Day This is a clinical dental hygienist role where you are trusted to do what you were trained to do: Perform thorough dental cleanings, prophylaxis, and scaling and root planning for patients of all ages Conduct comprehensive oral examinations and patient assessments Take and interpret dental x-rays (digital radiographs) Administer local anesthesia and nitrous oxide as clinically indicated Educate patients on proper oral hygiene techniques, home care, and preventive strategies Maintain accurate, detailed patient records and clinical charting Follow strict infection control protocols and maintain aseptic technique at all times Ensure full compliance with HIPAA regulations and patient privacy standards Utilize dental practice management software (Eaglesoft) for scheduling, charting, and billing workflows Monitor patient vital signs and conduct thorough periodontal assessments This is a practice where your clinical judgment matters. You are not just cleaning teeth on a timer. You are a healthcare provider delivering individualized care to every patient in your chair. The Practice: Why Hygienists Stay Here The dental hygienist shortage is real. Practices across Virginia are struggling to hire because they offer low pay, no flexibility, and treat hygienists as replaceable. This practice takes the opposite approach: Competitive top-of-market pay at $45–$50 per hour Flexible scheduling with both full-time and part-time options A supportive clinical team that respects your scope of practice Modern dental technology including digital radiography and Eaglesoft practice management Benefits that are increasingly rare for dental hygienists: health insurance, dental insurance, 401(k) match, and PTO A patient base that values their oral health and keeps appointments Translation: This is a practice that understands if they want to attract and keep great hygienists, they need to offer more than a chair and a scaler. They have built an environment where you can do your best clinical work and have a life outside the operatory. Who This Practice Is Looking For This is not an entry-level position. The ideal candidate is an experienced, licensed dental hygienist who takes pride in patient outcomes: Active Virginia dental hygienist license (RDH) or ability to obtain one before start date Minimum of 2+ years of clinical dental hygiene experience preferred Strong patient assessment skills including vital signs monitoring and periodontal evaluation Knowledge of aseptic technique, sterilization protocols, and infection control best practices Familiarity with dental practice management software, ideally Eaglesoft Understanding of HIPAA regulations and patient privacy protection Excellent communication skills with the ability to educate and motivate patients Local anesthesia and nitrous oxide administration certification Must be able to commute to or relocate to Forest, Virginia The Location: Forest, Virginia — Small-Town Living, Big Quality of Life Forest is a thriving community in Bedford County, Virginia, just minutes from Lynchburg and the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you are looking for an affordable, beautiful place to build a career and a life, Forest checks every box: Located in the heart of Central Virginia with easy access to Lynchburg, Bedford, and the Blue Ridge Parkway Significantly lower cost of living compared to Northern Virginia, Richmond, or Hampton Roads Top-rated schools and a family-friendly community Outdoor recreation year-round: hiking, fishing, kayaking, mountain biking, and skiing within driving distance The Smith Mountain Lake area is minutes away, one of Virginia’s most popular lake destinations A growing local economy with new restaurants, shops, and development Your $45–$50/hour goes significantly further in Forest, VA than it would in a metro area. Pair that with low commute times, mountain views, and a community where people know your name, and you start to understand why hygienists who move here tend to stay.
