Any dental hygienist here? Whats ur pay and how much schooling?

I am not a hygienist. However, the dental hygiene program is two-years at a community college. Search for one that offers this program in your area, and multiply the cost of tuition by two. My company pays the hygienists about $32 an hour. But, remember, hygiene is generally a part-time job, and there are generally no benefits involved because it is part-time. Some dentists pay their hygienists based on commision, ie. number of cleanings, scalings, FMD's. In that case, be careful. I find that hygiene appointments are the most missed by patients. Hope this helps.

i am a dental hygenist. i went through two years of college and two years of hygene school. my average pay is about 45 dollars per hour. that is about 70-110 thousand dollars/year.


the best thing about being a dental hygenist is the little amount of schooling and the great pay. also, you can work for many different dental offices at once.
