Dental Hygienist
cover letter example

[Date] Dear [Hiring Manager], Last year I grew our recall reappointment rate from 64 to 88 percent by reworking how I close each hygiene visit, which added roughly 30 booked patients a month back into the schedule. I would like to bring that same steady, patient-first approach to the hygiene role at [Company]. I am a licensed Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) with six years of clinical experience and certification in local anesthesia and nitrous oxide. I perform prophylaxis, scaling and root planing, full periodontal charting, and digital radiographs, and I am confident reading bitewings and panoramic films for caries and bone loss. I run a 45-minute and 60-minute chair on schedule, document thoroughly in Dentrix, and apply fluoride and sealants with attention to each patient's risk profile. What draws me to [Company] is your emphasis on preventive care and long-term patient relationships. At my current office I built a simple perio classification script that helped patients understand their staging and accept needed scaling and root planing, lifting case acceptance on periodontal therapy by 22 percent. I take real time to coach patients on home care, because comfortable, informed patients keep their appointments. I would welcome the chance to talk about how my clinical range and recall results can support your team and your patients. Thank you for considering my application. Warm regards, [Your Name] [Phone] [Email]
