Best Dental Hygienist Salary by State
June 21st, 2010
Looking for the best salary as a dental hygienist? Keep in mind these statistics can be misleading because they are often not recalclated based on cost of living standards. Obviously, this is the primary reason for differences in salary from state-to-state. That said, here are the results…
If you’re looking just based on median salary, the best place to be a dental hygienist is the west. Alaska, California, Washington, and Oregon all sit at the top of the list for the highest paid dental hygienists in the country. Alaska is by far #1, but after negotiating out cost of living expenses, I believe the best place to be a dental hygienist is Washington state, with a median salary of $81,000.
