HygieNow is a dental shift marketplace that puts hygienists in control. Not agencies, not offices, not anyone else.
HygieNow is an East Tennessee network of local hygienists and dental offices. You are not joining a faceless staffing app. You are working with offices near you, on your terms, with a real person behind every shift.
You get texted shifts that match your zones and rate, keep 100% of the posted rate, and have a direct line to our team if anything comes up.
Join FreeTemp agencies markup your rate 30 to 50% and pocket the difference. You do the work. They make the money.
Cold calling offices, waiting for callbacks, hoping someone picks up. It's 2026. You should not be doing this.
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.
A text comes in with the shift details, including pay type. You reply, confirm, and show up.
Set your zones, your rate, and when you're available. Three minutes, done. No card, no strings.
An office near you posts a shift that hits your rate. You get a text with date, time, rate, and pay type.
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.
Text in, reply from your phone, show up. We send the confirmation and office details. Every offer shows whether pay is through HygieNow or office payroll.
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.
No fees to join or get paid by standard payout. Optional Instant Pay is $5 for your first 10 completed shifts, then free. Every shift shows whether it is HygieNow payout / 1099 or office payroll / W-2 before you commit.
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.
If an office sends you home early for reasons unrelated to your conduct, Guaranteed Shift Pay protects the posted shift 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.
Reply from the text to accept or pass. Works on any phone made in the last 15 years. Nothing to download or configure, ever.
Set a base zone and an extended zone. Only get texts for shifts that are actually worth your drive. Toggle your availability anytime.
Based on hygienists in East Tennessee setting their rate at $370 to $420/day.
Earnings vary based on your rate, zone, and shift availability. These are illustrative examples only.
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.
Takes 3 minutes to sign up. No card, no contracts. We'll text you when nearby offices post shifts that match your area and rate.
