Dental Hygienist Resume Example made with Resume Star

Dental offices look for hygienists who are licensed, efficient in the chair and good with patients. Show your license and permits, the procedures you perform, and how many patients you see in a day.

Tips for a dental hygienist resume

  • Put your license first. RDH with the state, plus local anesthesia and nitrous oxide permits and CPR/BLS.
  • List your clinical skills. Prophylaxis, scaling and root planing, periodontal charting, sealants, fluoride and digital x-rays.
  • Give your patient load. Patients per day and whether you work assisted or unassisted hygiene shows your pace.
  • Name your software. Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental and intraoral cameras are common requirements.
  • Show patient care. Patient education, treatment acceptance, recall rates and working with anxious or pediatric patients.
