Dental Hygienists’ Compensation (video)

June 20, 2010 By Julie Frey 2 Comments

Dentists report the average dental hygienist base hourly pay is $36 an hour, starting at under $20 an hour and extending past $50 an hour.

“They get paid too much for what little they do,” complained a New York orthodontist paying his dental hygienist $27 per hour.

Another dentist – one paying $55 an hour – disagreed about the value of dental hygiene. "She's worth every penny. She makes me a fortune."

Response to the dentist that says we get paid way too much for what it is that we do. If you would like to spend as much time with the patitents as we do and ensure that there is customer satisfaction, then you should do our job. When we do our job properly it ensures that you make money, even when you do not have the necessary social skills to maintain that money-making relationship you care for.

Base salary plus commission has worked well for my team. Keeps them engaged in doing the best work they can for people without turning mercenary.
