Founding Hygienists

We are starting small on purpose.

HygieNow is opening first with a small group of local hygienists so the experience is protected. You are not joining a faceless staffing app. You are helping shape a better way for hygienists and offices to connect.

Founding hygienists get first access to matching shifts, early feedback influence, and a direct line during the beta while we make sure the first shifts are handled right.

Sound Familiar?

The old way of temping is broken.

😤

Agencies take a huge cut

Temp agencies markup your rate 30 to 50% and pocket the difference. You do the work. They make the money.

📞

You chase shifts down

Cold calling offices, waiting for callbacks, hoping someone picks up. It's 2026. You should not be doing this.

Waiting weeks to get paid

Work on Monday, then wait too long to know when money is coming. Your bills do not wait. Your payment details should be clear before you commit.

How It Works

Three steps. Done.

A text comes in with the shift details, including pay type. You reply, confirm, and show up.

💵

Get paid

After the shift, payment follows the listed pay type. HygieNow payout / 1099 shifts run through Stripe. Office payroll / W-2 shifts are paid by the office.

Real Example

This is all you do.

Text in, reply from your phone, show up. We send the confirmation and office details. The offer should show whether pay is through HygieNow or office payroll.

Why HygieNow

Built different. On purpose.

Built by someone who's been in the chair, not a VC-funded team guessing at dental office problems from a WeWork in San Francisco.

🆓

Always free for hygienists

Zero HygieNow fees, period. Each shift should clearly show whether it is HygieNow payout / 1099 or office payroll / W-2 before you commit.

Same-day payout option

For HygieNow payout / 1099 shifts, eligible hygienists can request a same-day Stripe payout for $5 after completion is confirmed. HygieNow initiates the payout same day; actual deposit timing depends on Stripe and the card/bank. Office payroll / W-2 shifts are paid by the office.

🛡️

Guaranteed Shift Pay

If an office sends you home early for reasons unrelated to your conduct, Guaranteed Shift Pay protects the posted shift rate.

💰

You set your rate

Name your price per zone. If the shift doesn't meet your minimum, you never even get the text. No negotiations, no lowball offers.

📱

No app. Just text.

Reply from the text to accept or pass. Works on any phone made in the last 15 years. Nothing to download or configure, ever.

🗺️

Your zones, your rules

Set a base zone and an extended zone. Only get texts for shifts that are actually worth your drive. Toggle your availability anytime.

Who Built This

Not a tech company.
A dentist.

HygieNow was built by a practicing dentist in East Tennessee who got tired of the 6 AM scramble. Calling five agencies before patients arrived, paying inflated rates, and watching hygienists get shorted on their pay.

Guaranteed Shift Pay, hygienist-set rates, no app required. None of that existed anywhere else because the people building those platforms had never actually worked in a dental office.

“I built what I wish had existed when I was scrambling to fill a chair.”
