I want to be a dental hygienist but i would like to know how much it pays.
I heard it’s different in different states I would like to know how much it pays in these states:
Minnesota
California
Wisconsin
And anywhere else that you know of. And if you don’t know how much it pays PER HOUR in those places then just tell me what you have heard or the average that it pays per hour.

Average per hour pay is $30-$35. Depending on how many hours you work per week, this usually calculates to about $55,000-$60,000 per year.
I don’t know about pay in those specific states, but you can pretty much say that overall in major metropolitan areas pay will be closer to $35/hr, while in smaller cities it will be closer to $30/hr.
Here in IL, a hygienist right out of school makes about 50K a year. It also depends on the size of the dental practice that you work for.
