Dental Hygiene Direct is the new and improved office list!  You know the list of hygienists most dental offices keep to call, just in case.  While that list is important, it can be hard for dental offices to keep the list current or if you are a hygienist, it can be hard to get on that list. It takes a lot of networking on both sides; Dental Hygiene Direct saves time and money by giving dental offices instant access to dental hygienists who are ready to work.  There are no placement fees, third party “phone-tag” and the availability calendar eliminates the frustrations of trying to “find someone who can work” a specific time period.  Networking is simplified and more comfortable because employers can view a professional photo, a professional bio-sketch, work credentials and request references of a hygienist before they come to work, while hygienists have the opportunity to manage their own  work day.  If you are a dentist you may even recognize someone you’ve hired before or if you’re a hygienist you may find a classmate to work for you during your much needed vacation!
