DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, January 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Frontline Source Group, an award-winning national staffing and recruiting firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, announced the launch of its Military Dental Hygienist Transition Program, a high-touch, concierge-style pathway designed to help transitioning service members move from military dentistry into civilian careers with private practices and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) nationwide.
With strong demand for hygienists and consistent hiring pressure across the industry, the program is built to translate military clinical experience into a civilian-ready career plan—while reducing time-to-hire and improving long-term fit for dental employers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of dental hygienists is projected to grow 7% from 2024 to 2034, with about 15,300 openings each year on average over the decade.
A specialized transition program for military dental hygienists
Transitioning out of military service is a major career milestone. Military dental hygienists bring exceptional training, discipline, and patient-care consistency—yet many still face friction when translating military roles into civilian job requirements, state licensing expectations, scheduling preferences, and compensation norms. Frontline Source Group created this program to bridge that gap with a structured process and dedicated dental recruiting specialists.
“Military dental hygienists are accustomed to operating with high standards, clear protocols, and a mission-first mindset,” said Bill Kasko, President & CEO of Frontline Source Group. “Our team helps convert that experience into civilian opportunities where hygienists can thrive—and where dental practices can build stable, reliable clinical teams.”
Why now: demand remains high across dental practices
Frontline Source Group cites a tight labor market for hygienists—reporting that 67% of dental practices are actively seeking qualified hygienists—which contributes to increased competition for talent, scheduling strain, and reduced appointment availability for patients.
The Military Dental Hygienist Transition Program is designed to create a direct, organized pipeline of transitioning talent for practices and DSOs, while supporting veterans through the complexity of making a confident move into civilian employment.
What makes this program different: a high-touch, step-by-step process Unlike high-volume recruiting models that rely primarily on keyword matching, Frontline Source
Group uses a guided methodology built to respect the candidate’s time and prioritize long-term
success for both candidate and employer. The program includes:
1. Confidential Consultation — A personalized conversation to define career goals,
preferred practice environments, geography, and compensation expectations.
2. Credential Verification — Support navigating state licensing requirements and
evaluating military training to identify best-fit opportunities.
3. Opportunity Matching — Curated, permanent roles through a nationwide network of
dental practices and DSOs aligned to lifestyle and career priorities.
4. Interview Coordination — Scheduling, logistics, and preparation to help candidates
perform well at each interview stage.
5. Offer Negotiation — Advocacy to secure competitive compensation packages, benefits,
scheduling flexibility, and professional development opportunities.
6. Transition Support — Ongoing guidance through onboarding and beyond.
Built for retention: backed by a 5-Year Placement
Warranty
A central differentiator is Frontline Source Group’s 5-Year Placement Warranty, created to align incentives around retention and long-term fit rather than quick placement. For direct-hire placements, the company describes a pro-rated credit approach if concerns arise during the first five years of employment, with credit applied toward a replacement or a future placement.
Frontline Source Group also promotes a Promotion Protection Plan concept—designed to support clients when placed talent earns promotions—reflecting the firm’s stated focus on long-term workforce outcomes.
Nationwide reach for candidates and employers
The Military Dental Hygienist Transition Program is supported by Frontline Source Group’s nationwide recruiting infrastructure, including 30+ office locations and opportunities across all 50 states.
The company notes it has been a trusted recruiting partner since 2004, operating under its trademark motto “People. Process. Service.™” and recognized as a 9-time Best of Staffing winner by ClearlyRated.

The program is designed for transitioning dental professionals from across U.S. military branches. Frontline Source Group states it helps connect former Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard dental professionals with practices, DSOs, and healthcare organizations nationwide.
