You’re in control of what you pay.
No subscriptions, no negotiation. Just the rate you choose.
Temporary coverage: you set the rate
You set the hourly rate for a temporary shift. You can offer below market, at market rate, or above market, which is what you would offer for a last minute or hard to fill shift.
Permanent hiring with Mel: you set the budget
You set the pace for each role, from no rush, through standard, up to needing a hire today. The pace sets what Mel spends reaching candidates on your behalf, not the pay of the person you hire.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Read all FAQsPractice questions, answered.
We're a full-service staffing tool (Temp and Perm) that handles everything that goes into staffing your practice. We take all the administrative tasks off your plate so you have more time to focus on your patients and your day-to-day.
For shifts posted with at least 48 hours notice, we have an industry-leading 97% success rate in filling positions. If a shift is posted within 24 hours of its start time, we still achieve an 80% fill rate.
Instead of sifting through resumes, we handle the vetting for you. Our team conducts detailed screenings with every candidate, ensuring only those who meet our criteria — approximately 60% — are approved to join our platform. This gives you access to top-quality professionals without reviewing individual resumes. And if you find a professional you're impressed with, you can hire them full-time for your practice at no extra cost.
We encourage you to rate your experience after every shift. A 'thumbs up' adds that professional to your preferred pool for future shifts; a 'thumbs down' removes them from consideration for your future shifts. We also offer a 'Happiness Guarantee': if you're dissatisfied with a professional within the first four hours, you can send them home without being charged for their time, and we'll arrange a replacement.
To cancel a shift, go to the 'Shifts' tab in your dashboard and select 'View' for the shift you wish to cancel. For regular temp shifts, cancelling between 24–72 hours before the shift results in a $40 cancellation fee. Cancelling with less than 24 hours notice results in a full shift charge. Working interviews paid through Toothio have no four-hour minimum, scheduled-time guarantee, or cancellation fee. Any time already worked remains payable.
Toothio is pay-as-you-go. No contracts, no monthly fees, nothing to sign. You're charged an hourly or daily rate depending on shift type and state, so you only pay when you actually fill a shift.
More than one location?
Groups running several sites get unlimited locations under one centralized dashboard, with visibility controls for each team member.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Post a shift and keep tomorrow’s schedule intact.
Posting is free, and most open shifts are covered within a day. When the role is permanent rather than a single day, Mel takes it from there.
