How to get patients for dental hygiene school?

One of the hardest things about going to dental hygiene school is getting patients. A lot of people do not know what dental hygiene is and they think you are a dentist overseeing their teeth and giving them cleanings. This can be frustrating for new graduates trying to find work because sometimes it might take a while for your first patient and half the time most hygienists have to go out and get the patients themselves, call around, send resumes, etc.

A great marketing tool that I use with most establishments is helping them promote their business online using my website at HygieneHeaven.com  I help place ads on my website as well as Facebook and Twitter so every month they receive several thousand views all over the world with people who are looking for a dental hygienist.

A lot of Dental Hygiene Schools have people who will aid you in finding patients from their own list or from other hygienists, but if not there are companies out there that do this as well. These companies offer a service where they post your resume and then you apply to online job postings all over the world!

You can even earn money by adding jobs to their databases using the built-in resume builder that helps get your experience noticed quicker, get more interviews, and get more jobs so you don't have to worry about referrals at all!

Job seekers love it because it has over 1,000 job postings to search form, you are able to upload your resume for employers to find you more easily and also view salary information on jobs posted. I was actually able to get my first patient using the service from PracticeLink.com  and it took about a week!
