NEW YORK, USA/LEIPZIG, Germany: Dental hygienists rank amongst the best ten jobs in the US, a new survey has found. According to CareerCast.com, a job search site based in Carlsbad (US) and the Netherlands, the hiring outlook for hygienists is second only to software engineers in the top ten list, which includes accountants and computer systems analysts. Dental hygienists held about 174,100 jobs in 2008 according to figures from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics.
The report analysed 200 jobs in North America based on a set of criteria, including work environment, income, outlook, stress and physical demands. Dental technicians ranked 72 in the survey, while orthodontists only ranked 94.
“Dental team members like the dental hygienist and dental assistant can be a great help to improve the delivery of dental care,” Dr Jerry Gordon, a dentist from Bensalam in Pennsylvania, told Dental Tribune Asia Pacific. “With the population of the US ageing, more people are seeking dental care than ever before. The field will continue to have a positive outlook for the foreseeable future.”
He added that pending healthcare legislation in the US will not have a negative impact on the field.
