FAQs for Dental Hygienist in Ottawa

How do I register as an RDH on Tempfind?

Go to the registration page, select Registered Dental Hygienist as your profession, and complete your profile. You will need to upload your government-issued ID, CDHO registration, relevant certification documents, and a police check where applicable. Once your credentials are reviewed and approved, your profile becomes visible to Ottawa clinics.

Is Tempfind free for registered dental hygienists?

Yes. Registration and platform use are free for dental professionals. Tempfind’s fees are paid by clinics. RDHs keep 100% of their agreed hourly rate with no deductions taken by the platform.

What credentials do I need to register?

You will need a valid CDHO registration, government-issued ID, relevant certification documents, and a police check where applicable. If you hold additional certifications such as local anesthesia or restorative hygiene, adding them to your profile increases your visibility to clinics looking for those specific skills.

How quickly can I start receiving booking requests after registering?

Once your credentials are verified and your availability is set, your profile becomes visible to Ottawa clinics immediately. How quickly you receive booking requests depends on your availability, hourly rate, location preferences, and current clinic demand in Ottawa.

Can I choose which clinics I work with?

Yes. You can accept or decline any booking request from a clinic. You are not obligated to accept every request sent to your profile. You can also apply directly to shifts posted by clinics you want to work with.

Can I set my own hourly rate?

Yes. You set your hourly rate during profile setup. Ottawa RDHs on Tempfind currently earn an average of $65–$70 per hour. Clinics see your rate before sending a booking request.

What is the cancellation policy for RDHs on Tempfind?

RDHs are expected to fulfill all confirmed shifts. Cancellations must be submitted through the platform at least 48 hours before the scheduled shift start time. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice result in temporary deactivation of booking features. No-shows result in immediate account deactivation. Full details are available at https://tempfind.com/cancellation-policy-for-professionals/

What happens if a clinic cancels my confirmed shift?

If a clinic cancels a confirmed shift less than 24 hours before the scheduled start time, you are entitled to a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the shift total as partial compensation for lost income. Cancellations made 24 hours or more in advance do not carry a compensation obligation. Full policy details are at https://tempfind.com/cancellation-policy-for-clinics/

Does Tempfind cover Ottawa and surrounding areas?

Yes. Tempfind covers Ottawa and surrounding communities including Kanata, North Dundas, Barrhaven, Orléans, and other areas in the Ottawa region. During registration you set your preferred travel distance, which controls which shifts and booking requests appear for your profile.

Can I indicate French-language skills on my profile?

Yes. You can add language skills and clinical preferences to your profile. In Ottawa’s bilingual dental market some clinics specify French-language requirements when posting shifts or sending booking requests. Indicating French fluency in your profile improves match quality with those clinics.

How is registering on Tempfind different from applying through a staffing agency?

When you register on Tempfind you create your own profile, set your own rate, and communicate directly with clinics through the platform. There are no placement fees charged to professionals and no agency acting as an intermediary between you and the clinic. You control which shifts you take and which clinics you build relationships with.

What should I do if my profile is not receiving booking requests?

Check that your profile is fully complete, your credentials have been approved, and your availability is open and up to date. Make sure your hourly rate, location, and travel preferences are filled in. If your documents are still under review your profile may not be visible to clinics yet. If everything looks correct and you are still not receiving requests, contact Tempfind support at [email protected].
