Dental Hygienist cover letter example

Cambie Park Dental Clinic

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my interest in the Dental Hygienist position at Cambie Park Dental Clinic. As a Registered Dental Hygienist licensed with the British Columbia College of Oral Health Professionals, I am committed to delivering gentle, thorough, and preventative oral health care. My clinical experience in community and private practice settings aligns closely with your focus on collaborative, patient-centered care.

In my current role at Fairview Crest Dental Clinic, I provide comprehensive periodontal care for six to eight patients daily. My routine practice includes detailed periodontal assessments with probing depths, clinical attachment level recording, and bleeding indices, followed by customized non-surgical periodontal therapy using ultrasonic debridement and selective hand scaling. In addition, I capture diagnostic digital bitewing and periapical radiographs using Dexis imaging software, ensuring clear diagnostic imaging while minimizing unnecessary exposure and retakes.

My clinical background is supported by over 600 hours of direct patient care completed during my dental hygiene diploma program at Vancouver Community College, alongside earlier practice experience as a dental hygiene assistant at Granville Ridge Dental Associates. These roles strengthened my proficiency in electronic charting with Tracker software, individualized patient education, and rigorous adherence to BCCOHP infection prevention and sterilization protocols. I take pride in helping patients build sustainable home-care habits through supportive, clear communication.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my clinical competencies, preventative philosophy, and dedication to patient comfort can contribute to the team at Cambie Park Dental Clinic. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Maya Lindholm
