Is anyone a dental hygienist in texas or just a dental hygienist?



How much do they make an hour. i was wonderin bc id like to go to school for it but ive heard good things about it and then ive heard bad that you dont make enough money? is this true how much do u make an hour?

My friend is a RDH in Southlake, TX and she makes $38 an hour. She likes her job alot but she is going back to school for nursing because there isn't any advancement as a RDH. She has really great hours and she can make her own schedule!
RDHs are not paid by the hour - they are paid by the day. My mom makes anywhere from $350-$450/day depending upon what agency she's working through (temp agency) or if she's working at her 'regular' job (she's got one office that she works a regular 2 days a week at).
My mom's an RDH in California.
My wife is a 4yr degreed RDH and she makes $40,000 annually working 30 hours a week in Atlanta, GA. She use to work in Southern California and made $80,000 for the same amount of work. Dallas TX would probably be like Atlanta in salary. 2 yr degreed RDHs make probably about 65% what the 4yr does.
