Is anyone a dental hygienist in texas or just a dental hygienist?
My friend is a RDH in Southlake, TX and she makes $38 an hour. She likes her job alot but she is going back to school for nursing because there isn't any advancement as a RDH. She has really great hours and she can make her own schedule!
Reply:RDHs are not paid by the hour - they are paid by the day. My mom makes anywhere from $350-$450/day depending upon what agency she's working through (temp agency) or if she's working at her 'regular' job (she's got one office that she works a regular 2 days a week at).
Reply:My wife is a 4yr degreed RDH and she makes $40,000 annually working 30 hours a week in Atlanta, GA. She use to work in Southern California and made $80,000 for the same amount of work. Dallas TX would probably be like Atlanta in salary. 2 yr degreed RDHs make probably about 65% what the 4yr does.
