Dental Hygienist (RDH) Temp Jobs in Ottawa
On-demand hygiene temping is live in Ottawa. Set your hourly rate, apply to shifts at Ottawa clinics, and keep 100% of what you earn. No agency cut, no rate negotiation over text, and the app is free for hygienists.
Hygiene temping on your terms
Hygienists carry a full column on their own, so a temp day should not start with rate haggling in a Facebook group. On Fairly, the rate on your profile is the rate you are booked at. Clinics see it before they confirm you, and it never gets trimmed on the way to your bank account.
Your rate, kept whole.
You price your own hour and keep every dollar of it. Fairly never takes a percentage of a hygienist's pay.
Shifts that fit around your life.
Apply only to the days you want. Temp full-time, fill the gaps in a part-time schedule, or pick up the occasional day off shift.
Every detail before you apply.
Each shift shows the clinic, hours, software, parking, and expectations up front, so you walk in knowing the operatory, not guessing.
Fairly is live in Ottawa
Ottawa clinics are on Fairly and posting hygiene shifts. The network here is newer than in Alberta, which works in your favour:
- Fewer hygienists per shift means better odds on every application while the market grows.
- Clinics tend to rebook the hygienists who covered their early shifts. Joining now builds the relationships that become repeat bookings.
- It costs nothing either way. No fees, no minimums, and you apply only to the shifts you want.
Across Canada, hygienists on Fairly set their own rates and keep all of it. On Alberta shifts, the median RDH rate is $68/hr.

CDHO registration & verification
To temp as a dental hygienist in Ottawa you need active registration with the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO). Fairly verifies every hygienist's registration with the regulator and confirms their identity before their first shift. That verification is part of why clinics trust the platform, and it typically takes less than a day.
