Dental Hygienist Application Form

Finding the right dental hygienist for your practice requires more than just a resume—you need verified credentials, up-to-date certifications, and a clear picture of each candidate's technical skills. Our Dental Hygienist Application Form streamlines the entire hiring process by collecting all essential information in one professional, easy-to-complete form.

Why dental practices choose this template

Dental offices and clinics face unique hiring challenges. State licensing requirements vary, X-ray certifications need verification, continuing education credits must be current, and candidates need proficiency with specific dental software platforms. This template brings all those requirements together in a structured, compliant way that saves your HR team hours of back-and-forth communication.

Comprehensive credential verification built in

Rather than chasing down license numbers and certification documents via email, this form captures everything upfront. Applicants enter their state dental hygiene license details, upload their X-ray certification (bitewing, periapical, and panoramic), and document their continuing education credits—all in one submission. You'll have a complete credential package ready for verification before the first interview, helping you move qualified candidates through your pipeline faster.

Understand technical proficiency from day one

Every dental practice has its own technology stack, and onboarding is much smoother when you know what training you'll need to provide. This template includes a comprehensive dental software proficiency checklist covering the most common practice management systems (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve), digital radiography platforms, and electronic health records. Candidates self-assess their skill level, giving you realistic expectations before their first day.

Built for busy dental practices

Whether you're a solo practitioner, a multi-location group practice, or a dental staffing agency, this template adapts to your workflow. Conditional logic shows relevant questions based on candidate experience level, keeping the form concise for new graduates while capturing detailed information from seasoned professionals. The clean, professional design reflects well on your practice and creates a positive first impression with quality candidates.

Compliance and security you can trust

Healthcare hiring requires careful handling of sensitive information. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and offers data residency controls, so you can collect and store applicant information with confidence. While Paperform is not HIPAA compliant, this template is designed for pre-employment applications where HIPAA typically doesn't apply (as applicants are not yet part of your covered entity). For practices requiring extra security, enterprise features include SSO, custom data retention policies, and audit logs.

Get started in minutes

Simply customize the questions to match your specific requirements—add questions about availability, salary expectations, or specialty skills like pediatric or periodontal experience. Adjust the dental software list to reflect what your practice actually uses, and modify the continuing education section to align with your state's requirements. With Paperform's intuitive editor, you can have your custom application live and accepting candidates in under 15 minutes.
