About this Registered Dental Hygienist role at Riccobene Associates Family Dentistry

Riccobene Associates Family Dentistry · Onsite · Shelby, North Carolina, United States

About the role
We are looking for a hygienist who takes pride in clinical excellence, connects with patients, and is someone the team can count on every day. You will have a full schedule, a supportive doctor team, and the tools and time to deliver great care.

What you will do

  • Provide prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, and scaling and root planing
  • Complete full periodontal charting and assess periodontal health at every appropriate visit
  • Take and review radiographs and intraoral images
  • Educate patients on their oral health and explain the “why” behind recommended care
  • Co-diagnose with the dentist and build treatment plans for periodontal and restorative care
  • Present treatment plans chairside, explaining what the patient needs and why, in plain language
  • Discuss fees, insurance estimates, and payment or financing options with patients, helping them say yes to care while the clinical conversation is still fresh
  • Administer local anesthesia [where certified and permitted by state]
  • Apply fluoride, sealants, and adjunctive therapies
  • Make sure each patient leaves with their next recare visit scheduled
  • Document accurately and completely in the patient record
  • Maintain your operatory and follow OSHA and infection control standards

What we need from you

  • Reliability. Regular, predictable, on-time attendance is an essential function of this job. When a hygienist is out, a full day of patients loses their care.
  • Presence. You are engaged and focused on the patient in your chair.
  • A good attitude. You stay positive and professional on busy days and take feedback well.
  • Team first. You communicate openly with doctors, assistants, and the front desk, and you help the whole office succeed.
  • Clinical ownership. You diagnose and treat periodontal disease by the standard of care, not by what is easiest.
  • Patient connection. You build trust, explain clearly, and are comfortable recommending treatment. Patients accept care when it comes from the clinician they trust.
  • Comfort with money conversations. You can talk about cost and financing clearly and confidently, without pressure and without handing it off.
  • Professional presentation. We hold a high standard for personal hygiene, grooming, and clean scrubs every shift.

Qualifications

  • Active state dental hygiene license in good standing
  • Current CPR/BLS certification
  • Local anesthesia certification [required / preferred]
  • New graduates welcome [if applicable]
  • Experience presenting treatment plans and discussing patient financing is a plus
  • Experience with Denticon practice management software is a plus

Physical requirements
The following are essential to this role and must be met with or without reasonable accommodation:

  • Sit for extended periods in a clinical operator position
  • Bend, lean, and reach over patients repeatedly throughout the day
  • Use both hands with fine motor control and sustained grip for scaling and instrumentation
  • Perform repetitive hand, wrist, and arm movements for the length of each appointment
  • See clearly at close range, including small detail, depth, and color
  • Hear and speak clearly to communicate with patients and the care team while masked
  • Lift and carry supplies and equipment up to [25] pounds
  • Wear required protective equipment for the full shift
  • Work with exposure to blood, saliva, radiation, disinfectants, and dental materials, following safety protocols
  • Maintain professional appearance and personal hygiene standards appropriate for close patient contact, including avoiding strong odors and fragrances

Our hiring process

  • A quick conversation with our Talent Team, then an office visit to meet the team
  • We contact prior employers for references, and we verify licensure with the state board
  • Offers are contingent on satisfactory reference, license, and background checks
  • New team members complete a 90-day introductory period

What we offer
Competitive hourly pay / monthly hygiene bonus / medical, dental, vision / PTO / 401(k)
