Hygienists are in high demand nationally and internationally. The number of jobs is expected to continue to increase as more people become aware of their oral health care needs. Dental Hygienists enjoy career flexibility, finding rewarding opportunities in private clinical practice, dental public health, education, sales, and research. Salaries are competitive and hygienists are rewarded with an income that will allow for the enjoyment of a comfortable lifestyle.
