Here’s what we hear from dental pros across the DMV.
“I didn’t want to leave hygiene. I wanted to leave my office.” — Anne Arundel County
Whether you’re in Bethesda or Baltimore, Fairfax or Fredericksburg, Annapolis or Norfolk — if your shoulders are wrecked by Friday, your lunch “break” is finishing notes in your car, and you’re booking 10+ patients a day at 50-minute intervals with no exam time — you’re not weak and you’re not difficult. The profession has changed. Production quotas keep climbing, recall slots keep shrinking, and “culture” in too many offices is whatever the loudest person at the front desk decides it is. There’s a better way to do this work — and we built CoreEthos Dental to help you find it, wherever in Maryland or Virginia you live.
If this sounds familiar...
You haven’t had a real raise in two years and you’re tired of asking.
You’ve been told to “move faster” when you know what you’re missing on the exam.
You love patient education but you’re booked at 50-minute intervals with no exam time built in.
You’d trade some income for a schedule that lets you pick up your kids.
Your DA left and now you’re flipping rooms AND scaling — the doctor still calls you “the hygienist.”
You’re running the recall side of the practice but only the office manager gets credit when production is up.
You’re a new grad with $50K+ in student loans and a sign-on bonus that turned out to have strings attached.
Documentation, perio charting, and chart prep are eating your lunch — and the patient experience you went to school for.
Spots in our CoreTalent Network
fill quickly each month — don’t wait!
We onboard a limited number of new RDH candidates each week so every person on our roster gets a real recruiter, not a queue number.
You don’t have to choose forever. A lot of our RDHs start with PRN shifts to test the waters, then take a permanent role at an office they actually liked working in.
Two real options. Pick the one that fits your life.
Flexible Temp & PRN Work
For RDHs who want control over their schedule, their offices, and their income.
Pay typically 30-60% above permanent staff rates
1099 independent contractor — keep more per shift, write off mileage, scrubs, license fees, and CE at tax time
Pick the days, the offices, and the practice types before you accept — anywhere in MD, VA, or DC
Vetted offices statewide in Maryland and Virginia — we screen sites, not just candidates
No minimum hours, no penalty for declining shifts
A Permanent Role You’d Actually Want
When you’re ready to land somewhere that fits — not just any office with an open chair.
Hand-matched to practices based on culture, production expectations, doctor exam discipline, mentorship, and your real priorities
100% free to candidates — the practice pays our fee, you never do
We pre-vet the office (yes, the office) before recommending it
30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins after you start — we don’t place and disappear
90-day replacement guarantee — if the fit is wrong, we re-place you at no cost
How it works.
From form to first shift (or first interview).
Tell us what you’re looking for. Takes 60 seconds.
Fill out the short form below — your role, whether you want temp/PRN, permanent, or both, and where in the DMV you are. That’s it. No resume required at this stage.
A real CoreEthos recruiter calls you, not a bot.
Within one business day, a real person on our team gives you a call to learn what you actually want: pay, hours, commute, culture, what’s a deal-breaker. We listen first. We don’t pitch.
We match you and
we stay on it.
We send you only opportunities that match what you told us. You decide what to take. After you’re placed, we check in at 30, 60, and 90 days. If something’s off, we fix it or we re-place you.
Still on the fence? Here’s the short version.
Free to join. Free to talk. Free to walk away.— You will never pay us. The practice does.
1099 contractor structure on temp shifts — higher gross pay than typical W-2 work, plus business write-offs you can’t take as an employee
MD, VA, and DC only — but ALL of MD and VA, not just the metro. We know the offices in Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick, Salisbury, Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke, and everywhere between. We know who treats hygiene right and who doesn’t.
A real recruiter, not a chatbot, works your search from day one.
You’ll never pay us. The practice does.
If the fit is wrong, we re-place you at no cost. We don’t place and disappear.
Veteran-owned — integrity, mission focus, discipline, loyalty. That’s the standard.
Built by veteran. For people who give a damn.
CoreEthos Group was founded by a U.S. military veteran who believes the same values that define great military service — integrity, mission focus, discipline, and loyalty — are exactly what dental staffing has been missing.
We started CoreEthos because we got tired of watching brilliant dental professionals leave the field they loved over things that should’ve been fixable: bad managers, broken schedules, pay that hadn’t moved in years, and agencies that treated them like a number on a spreadsheet.
Every candidate we place — hygienist, assistant, front desk, office manager, or dentist — gets the same thing: a real recruiter, a vetted office, and someone who checks in after you start. That’s the standard. That’s the whole point.
MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Jason Williams, Founder & CEO, CoreEthos Group
“I started CoreEthos because dental practices deserve a staffing partner who shows up with the same commitment and accountability I learned in uniform. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to every day.”
