Dental Jobs Including Hygiene and Assistant
With the economy slowing starting to recover many people ask what is the fait of the dental industry. Many dentists have felt the full impact of the recession and most, almost 80% had to let at least one employee go. However the dental jobs that seemed to be to most steady in the dental industry were the dental hygienist and dental assistant jobs. Why? simply put they make the dentists money. Without the hygienist the dentist would have to do the cleanings themselves. And without the dental assistant the dentist is hand tied and can’t accomplish some of the higher paid procedures (high profit) procedures that they do. So if you are looking for dental hygienist jobs then read below.
So we think that the dental jobs will be one of the first industries to feel the positive results of the economy turning back on again. However we don’t feel that this will happen overnight. Our best guess is that dental hiring will start to pick up in the 3rd quarter of next year. This is when dentists will start to see higher revenue from operations and this will spur an immediate hiring frenzy in the dental field. So if you are a hygienist, assistant, or lab tech or even front office administrator then we feel that the future will be bright but you may have to wait a couple of months before the doctors in your area start hiring. But also be aware that if you need a job there are dentists that are hiring for many different reasons including maternity leave, attrition, regular turnover and other very basic reasons.
