Dental Hygienist – Mobile Public Health | Performance-Based - Dentacor - Kyle, TX

Permanent Dental Hygienist Job

Kyle, TX

Job Description

Because everyone deserves to smile proudly
Dentacor is Utah’s leading mobile dentistry organization, dedicated to restoring health and dignity through accessible and affordable dental care. We serve people who are often overlooked by traditional clinics: individuals in substance use recovery, homeless shelters, low-income housing, and supportive service programs.
This is not a typical hygiene job. You won’t be in a fixed office, and your patients won’t have insurance cards neatly ready. But what you will have is the chance to change lives every single day—and to practice at the top of your license through Dentacor’s nationally novel pilot program with the Utah Office of AI Policy (UOAIP).
We’re seeking a compassionate, capable, and motivated Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) ready to step into a role that combines clinical skill, mission-driven service, and real-world impact.
Position Details
Pay: 100% Performance-Based, Your earnings directly reflect the care you provide.

Most RDHs average $60–$70/hour

High-efficiency days can exceed $90/hour

Slower days may be $40–$50/hour This model rewards providers who are proactive, patient-centered, and mission-aligned.

Schedule: Flexible (10–30 hours/week)
Location: Salt Lake County, with most clinics in SLC— worksites & routes based on your availability
Setting: Mobile clinics in social service facilities—no commuting between patients
What Makes This Role Unique
Empowered Clinical Autonomy - Under Dentacor’s approved pilot program with the Utah Office of AI Policy, our RDHs are legally authorized—within the defined scope of the agreement—to diagnose periodontal disease and edentulism and perform approved treatment (including scaling & root planing, and some denture delivery) without waiting for dentist review. You practice independently, with remote dentist support only as needed.
Mobile Innovation - We bring full dental hygiene/diagnostic services into housing complexes, recovery centers, and shelters—using portable equipment, teledentistry, intraoral cameras, and digital scanners. Operatories are set up in private, secure spaces onsite. We handle all logistics, equipment, and setup.
Mission-Focused Care - Many of our patients haven’t seen a dentist in 10–20 years. Some are working toward sobriety or trying to reintegrate after incarceration. Others live in shelters. Your work helps them eat again without pain, regain confidence, and take the next step in their healing.
Real-World Challenges - This work can be emotionally and physically taxing. You may encounter patients with trauma, severe oral disease, or extreme anxiety. And sometimes, procedures must be adapted based on environment or patient need. But when a patient sees their smile for the first time in years—or thanks you for treating them like a person again—it makes it some of the most rewarding work possible.
Is This the Right Fit for You?
At Dentacor, we operate at the intersection of clinical excellence, system innovation, and social impact. This role is designed for hygienists who want to deliver high-quality care outside the limits of traditional dental settings—without compromising on standards, support, or outcomes.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:

Are driven by purpose, autonomy, and tangible impact

Want to use your license to its fullest under a state-sanctioned, forward-thinking pilot program

Are confident engaging with diverse populations and complex patient histories with respect, empathy, and professionalism

See yourself as a contributor to innovative healthcare models, not just a provider of services

What You’ll Do

Perform preventive and therapeutic care, including:

Full assessments, perio charting, and hygiene services

Fluoride, sealants, x-rays, and intraoral imaging

Periodontal diagnosis and SRP treatment under UOAIP pilot authority

Digital impressions for dentures

Denture delivery & fitting (the coolest part of the job)

Engage compassionately with vulnerable populations

Use mobile technology and document care for Medicaid reimbursement

Help us change what’s possible in public health dentistry

Requirements

Active Utah RDH license

Professional maturity, emotional intelligence, and empathy

Ability to work in highly dynamic mobile clinics (training provided)

Basic tech competency (charting, scanning, communication)

Experience with underserved communities is a plus—but we’ll train the right person with the right passion and experience

About Dentacor
Dentacor is redefining what dental access means. We operate entirely through Medicaid, without grant dependency, and partner directly with housing authorities, addiction treatment centers, and reentry programs. Our goal: reduce homelessness, recidivism, emergency room visits, and hopelessness by restoring one smile—and one person—at a time.
How to Apply
Submit your resume through Indeed. We’ll follow up to schedule an interview to see if its a good fit.
This work isn’t for everyone—but if you’ve been waiting for a role that challenges you, grows you, and allows you to do the kind of dentistry that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you. Dentacor is more than a job—it’s a mission, a model, and a way to change lives.
