The Registered Dental Hygienist is responsible for the direct provision of dental hygiene and preventative services to patients of the clinic, while promoting oral health through education for individuals and community groups. This role supports the delivery of high‑quality, compassionate care and plays an important part in improving access to dental services for underserved populations.

This position is based at the Maine Health Dental Care Clinic in Belfast, a small, collaborative team of five professionals dedicated to serving the community. The clinic provides care to both adults and children, with a strong focus on serving low‑income patients and increasing access to essential dental services. The team partners with local organizations such as WCAP to provide dental care to preschool‑aged children and offers limited emergency dental care to Waldo County residents.

The clinic’s mission is supported in part by local charitable organizations and grant funding.
