Dental Nurse Pay?

[Rob C]

How much did dental nurses get paid in 2004? and 2006? and 2008? either hourly pay or yearly works, and the website will be excellent!

My sister is a dental hygentist.

She says 32 and hour plus commission.

(She could be exaggerating, but that's what she said)

I'm not sure what you mean by "Dental Nurse." I know someone who is a Dental Hygienist in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., and she makes between $30 to $35 per hour. In this area the Hygienist is sort of analgous to the nurse in a doctor's office.

In her office they also have Dental Assistants, who make around $15 per hour. They would be analogous, I suppose to Nursing Assistants.

I know the definitions and duties of these professions can change in different countries, or even different parts of some countries.
