Resources for dental hygienists
Some hygienists work temp for flexibility. Others do it to explore new offices after years in the same chair. No matter the reason, Teero makes the experience smooth, predictable, and actually enjoyable. We collected feedback from real hygienists using the Teero app on Google Play and the App Store. Here’s what they had to say and what it means if you’re considering dental hygienist temping.

What Makes Teero Different?
Across dozens of reviews, three themes keep appearing: clarity, communication, and control.
Teero makes it easy to find and book shifts with confidence:
Photos, name and address of the dental office
Pay rate, software used, patient appointment times
Other details including reviews from hygienists who previously temped there
"Love that you can see the office you're going to and the profile is very descriptive. Easy to communicate with someone by text if you ever have questions or concerns. Also gives plenty of reminders so you don’t forget your shift."
"Everything I would want to know about an office before I even decide to take the shift."
And if you need help at any point, Teero’s team is available and responsive:
"They communicate efficiently, are very professional, and willing to help in any way they can."
Designed for Dental Hygienists Who Want More Control
If you’ve ever worked through a traditional temping agency or juggled endless emails just to secure a shift, Teero feels refreshingly simple. You set your schedule, view available shifts, and choose the ones that fit your needs.
"Such a great agency to work with and the app just makes it so much easier!! You set your days available, see a list of shifts, choose which one works for you, and submit the request!"
There’s no waiting around for assignments. Many hygienists find shifts available immediately after signing up:
"I signed up and had shifts available immediately!"
Even partial shifts are an option, giving you maximum flexibility:
"Now you can request partial shifts (they almost always get accepted as well)!"
Why Teero Works for Different Stages of Your Career
Teero isn’t just for one type of hygienist. It’s built to support your career and your life, whether you're returning to work, transitioning into retirement, or simply valuing your time differently.
For New Parents
Balancing work and family is tough, especially with rigid office hours. Teero allows new parents to ease back into work on their own terms:
"I can’t stop raving about Teero to all my hygienist mamas who had to leave work because of the hours! The flexibility is awesome!!"
For Retirees
After decades in the same practice, many hygienists enjoy the opportunity to experience new environments without long-term commitments:
"After working for over 30 years in the same office, I decided to try something different. Teero allowed me to try a new office. It was interesting, exciting, and a little bit nerve-racking learning a new software program. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity."
Temping through Teero means having options and new experiences at your own pace.
For Those Who Value Ownership Over Their Time
Whether you're caring for family, pursuing other interests, or looking for a better work-life balance, Teero puts you in control of your schedule:
"I feel very comfortable using this app to pick up extra shifts on my terms. 5 Stars!!!"
"By far my favorite subbing app for Dental Hygiene!"
A Trusted App Backed by Real Results
There’s a reason hygienists keep coming back and telling their friends.
"Best experience I ever had for finding work!"
"I've tried all of the staffing apps and this is BY FAR my favorite."
"Great job, Teero!"
