Dental Hygienist

The Valere Group • North Adams, MA

34d • $50 - $54 • Onsite

About The Position

Messenger Digital Dentistry is a modern, patient-centered dental practice built on high-quality, comprehensive care in a relaxed, upscale setting. Prevention and patient education aren't an afterthought here. You'll have the digital technology, the support, and the time to really connect with every patient, not just move them through the chair. Our patients love the team so much that some travel an hour to see us.

We're looking for a licensed, compassionate Dental Hygienist who takes real pride in preventive care and patient education. You'll partner with a clinical team that respects your expertise, protects the time you need with every patient, and genuinely has your back. This isn't an assembly line. It's a team invested in doing hygiene right.

• Comfort with digital dental technology, and curiosity to learn more
• Previous experience in a dental or clinical setting, including periodontal therapy

Responsibilities

• Perform dental cleanings, including prophylaxis, scaling, and root planing
• Administer local anesthesia as permitted by Massachusetts law, so patients stay comfortable during deeper therapy
• Conduct periodontal assessments, charting, and ongoing perio maintenance
• Take and interpret dental radiographs and digital images in compliance with state regulations
• Spot signs of oral disease early and loop the dentist in fast
• Educate patients on oral hygiene techniques and preventive care in a way that actually sticks
• Use our digital and 3D technology to show patients what you see, so they understand their own oral health
• Reinforce the dentist's treatment recommendations with clarity and confidence
• Send patients out the door with clear, thorough post-treatment care instructions
• Partner with the doctor on treatment planning, flagging restorative and cosmetic needs such as crowns, implants, and Invisalign candidates

Benefits

• High-tech, modern care: Digital dentistry and 3D technology, same-day crowns, implants, and Invisalign. Work in a practice that is built for the way modern dentistry is done.
• A team that has your back: A collaborative clinical team that respects your judgment and gives you the time every patient deserves, not a rushed, assembly-line schedule.

• Supportive environment: A positive, team-first culture where everyone pulls in the same direction.
• A supportive, collaborative team that backs you up clinically and personally
