I wouldn't be surprised. Almost all of my hygienist friends quit either during or after Covid. Everyone said it was one of the most dangerous jobs to have and I feel like that rumor has just kind of stuck around. No one wants to do the job anymore

I have found that hygienists have found that working as a temp is much more lucrative and gives them freedom from having to be tied down to a schedule. Personally, I would prefer one who is part of my staff so I can train them to work in my practice, but the world is changing, and just like nurses who work "travel jobs", hygienists have decided the bigger pay and no commitment is a better way to work.

I live in KY. Yes, there are so many shortages here. Hygienist, assistants, lab techs. It is kind of crazy. We wear so much PPE, you are safer at the Dental office than the food industry and retail combined. I don't get it either

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993. As my career progressed as a RDA, I moved to the front office and eventually management. I even taught dental assistants and became the Program Director of a DA program. COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough! Any input would be appreciated.

I have been working in Austin/cedar park/ round rock as a dental assistant for two years. I’ve just been promoted to office manager at a small private practice. What would be an appropriate hourly wage? Currently no benefits are offered, but may be in the future.

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years , and I think I'm done . I feel the pay is never enough and 9/10 we do the most work in the office . It's never commensurate to what we do and no matter how much experience you have your still 3-5$ more than someone fresh out of school . It's a skill I'm glad to know that I can always find work but the burnout for nothing isn't worth it. Can anyone relate
