Overview

Please read before applying: We are a biological dental practice with a strong focus on whole-body health. Our philosophy differs from conventional dentistry and incorporates alternative health principles (e.g., minimal use of pharmaceuticals, avoidance of fluoride, and a holistic approach to care).

If you are not familiar with or comfortable with this approach, our office may not be the best fit for you.

Registered Dental Hygienist – Health-Focused, Growth-Driven Practice

We are not a “teeth cleaning” office.

We are a biological / holistic dental practice focused on transforming patient health, and we are building a hygiene department that patients describe as:

“I’ve never felt so well taken care of in my life.”

You enjoy educating and motivating patients, not just treating them
You want to continuously improve your clinical and communication skills

Who This Is NOT For

90-minute sessions, twice per month (for about 5 months) This is not extra work—it’s how we build clinicians who are confident, impactful, and fulfilled in their careers.
