Why a dental-only job board
Dental jobs call for specific licenses and skills, yet most hygienists, assistants and dentists still job-hunt on catch-all sites designed for every industry at once.
Search “dental hygienist” on one of them and you'll wade through hospital, nursing and home-health postings. A practice advertising for a front-desk coordinator gets lost among retail chains and health systems hiring for the same title.
So good people miss good offices, and offices miss good people, though each side is searching hard.
I first saw this up close working at one of the biggest aesthetic medicine companies in the U.S.
Staffing held everything up. Clinical roles were specialized, every state licensed them differently, and the strongest candidates usually weren't on the job sites where openings went up.
Dentistry has the same shape of problem, and DentistryHires is built to close that gap: every job, pay guide and licensing explainer on the site is about dental work.
About the founder
Gabriel Meierotto
Founder, DentistryHires
LinkedIn →DentistryHires was started by me, Gabriel Meierotto.
For six years I worked at LaserAway, among the largest aesthetic dermatology chains in the country, finishing as Director of Conversion Rate Optimization at the end of 2023.
I worked on the commercial side: how patients choose a clinic, how locations grow, and, most useful for this site, how they hire and keep staff.
A company that size shows you hiring from every angle: the positions that stay open for months, how pay really gets built (base plus commission, 1099 versus W-2), the reasons providers quit, and the difference between clinics that keep their best injectors and clinics that keep replacing them.
I left that job to put my health first. When I was ready to work on something new, a set of niche healthcare job boards was the natural next step.
To be clear about my background: I am not a dentist, a hygienist or a physician.
I have never treated a patient. Nothing published on DentistryHires is dental or medical advice, and none of it is a clinical review.
What I bring is experience with the business and staffing side of specialized healthcare, learned in aesthetics and put to work in dentistry.
For anything about clinical scope, licensure or state law, our guides cite the official sources described below rather than my opinion or anyone's recollection.
How jobs get onto the board
There are two sources. We collect openings from dental employers' career sites and public job feeds and keep them updated, and practices can also post jobs with us directly.
A collected job always sends you to the employer's original posting, and you apply there.
Paying us never moves a job higher in search results.
How we fact-check our guides
A lot of DentistryHires is about licensure, expanded-function and scope-of-practice rules, and pay. Get those wrong and a hygienist or assistant can make a costly career decision.
That's why every guide follows these rules:
- Before any state licensing or legal point is published, we confirm it in a primary source: the state dental board, the statute or administrative code itself, or official board guidance.
- Each regulatory page shows when it was “last verified,” so you know its age at a glance.
- Every salary figure cites its source, whether that’s pay posted in DentistryHires listings or government data. Nothing is estimated out of thin air.
- For numbers that shift often, we explain the range and what moves it, rather than quoting a single figure that will soon be outdated.
A page only says “medically reviewed” if a licensed clinician, identified by name, actually reviewed it. Otherwise it doesn't carry the label.
We don't use invented reviewers or stock-photo “experts.”
Treat our guides as general information, not legal or medical advice.
Before acting on a licensing, scope-of-practice or business-structure question, confirm it with your state dental board or a qualified advisor.
See a mistake?
Dental board rules get amended, wages change and jobs get filled. If you find a requirement that's no longer current, a salary number that's aged out or a listing that no longer works, let me know.
Send the details to support@dentistryhires.com and I'll check it and update the page.
On a site built around licensing and pay, fixing errors quickly is part of doing the job well.
