Sign Up for IthacaRDH
IthacaRDH makes it easy for dentists to connect with hygienists when they need per-diem coverage. As a member, you’ll receive real-time notices of booking requests and have the ability to respond and arrange coverage directly with dental offices.
Why use IthacaRDH?
Traditional temp agencies come with hidden costs:
For dentists:
Agencies often charge significantly more per hour than what the hygienist actually earns. That extra cost goes straight to the agency, not to the professional doing the work.
For hygienists:
Even though the office is paying more, you don’t see that higher hourly rate. The agency keeps the difference.
IthacaRDH works differently:
Free for dentists – Any office can post a request at no cost.
Affordable for hygienists – Instead of losing dollars each hour to a middleman ($10 and up an hour!), you simply contribute a small monthly fee to help keep the system running.
This way hygienists keep what they earn, and the community thrives without the expense of a traditional agency.
