    Depending on where you will work in the country a good guess for a starting wage for a new employee is $10.00 – $12.00 per hour plus full benefits like 401K and health, sick leave, and vacation time. Good luck

    Can’t answer this question without more information. Where do you live? Will you be working for a private dentist or a dental group? Do you want to work part-time or full-time?
    To give you an idea: I know a hygienist who works for a private dentist in the metro Detroit area. She started out at $32,000.00 a year as a full-time hygienist. Before that she worked part-time for a dental group and started at $14.00 an hour.
