Claudia Desiree’s Answer

Hi Anna! I am a dental hygienist. The hour rate for dental hygiene is between $35 to $45 US dollars. Or 40% of the production you did during each day. For dental assistant I am not sure, but is around $20-25 dollars per hour.
All the best!

Im a Dental Hygienist and I love what I do, but it’s important to hear the bad side of it too. This career is great if you are working in a big city with more opportunities. I live in a small town and I am having a hard time finding a job at the moment. Pursue this if it’s what you love to do, but I’d you’re young and love teeth, shoot for the moon. I would’ve gone to dental school if I had that choice early on.

Maria recommends the following next steps:

Hello Joleena! Dental hygienists are in great demand in the current job market. The COVID-19 pandemic led many who were nearing retirement to retire early, and part-time workers also halted their work. This has resulted in a significant surge in both the compensation and need for hygienists. In my locality, for instance, the hourly temping rate shot up by $25 and has remained steady for more than three years now. The market shows no signs of slowing down in the foreseeable future. Best of luck!

Anna’s Answer

Hi Joleena, a good place to find answers about careers is the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Occupational Outlook Handbook used to be published annually and was quick cumbersome, so it's great to be able to search online!

According to https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/dental-hygienists.htm, the job prospects for a dental hygienist are good. You'll find pay and other information that might be helpful for you.

Best wishes!
