No! We are not a temp agency. We are a marketplace platform for dental offices and professionals to contract directly with each other to fulfill shifts. Since we have simplified the process and replaced the traditional agencies with algorithms, GoTu’s platform connects dental professionals with offices that want to put their valuable skills to work!
Hygienists – Yes, you must have an active license and be in good standing with no derogatory marks.
Assistants – Each state has its own requirements to practice as a dental assistant. You must possess your state’s required licensing/certification(s) and be in good standing with no derogatory marks.
Associate Dentists – Yes, you must have an active state dentist license and be in good standing with no derogatory marks.
Download GoTu from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and complete the sign-up process (joingotu.com/app). Once successfully completed, your account will be verified within three business days, and you’ll be able to start applying for shifts.
For those who work as a W-2 employee, the verification is the same as for 1099 employees. However, after working your first shift, you will have to complete Trinet onboarding within three days.
GoTu is committed to protecting the privacy of the digital community. Once the shift is confirmed, you will be able to access the dental office’s information. When you are confirmed, you will be able to see the office name, address and any additional notes the office has left. You can also message/call the office directly through the app as soon as you are confirmed.
If you accept a shift that turns out to be with an office that you would prefer not to work with, please cancel the shift immediately through the app. All professionals are afforded a 20-minute no questions asked grace period for this exact purpose. Any time you cancel a shift, we encourage you to reach out to GoTu Support at 786-460-2170 to discuss blocking the office and ensuring you maintain full platform access.
*Please note that the 20 minute grace period does not apply for same day shifts

GoTu provides credential management services by verifying your license and identification as part of creating your account. This requires a driver’s license or other state-approved ID, including passports.
We do this to provide the highest level of safety, protection, and professionalism to the dental offices contracting with independent contractors on the platform. No one but our verification team sees your ID.
Photos are required to complete your profile, as they help dental offices prepare for your arrival and know who to expect. Your photo will be shared with dental offices when reviewing applications. You must add a photo to apply and complete shifts with GoTu.
No, you are not required to enter payment/bank info to create your account. However, to collect your payment after a completed shift, you will need to enter your bank info, as all payments through the GoTu platform are completed electronically.
Absolutely! If you choose to accept an employment offer, please let us know so we can update our records (call or text 786‐460‐2170). We also offer reverse recruiting services if you’re interested in part‐time or full‐time opportunities in your area!
Your home address is the location in which you work and live. If you’d like to search other locations without changing your home address, you can use the address bar at the top of the “offers” page.
If the rate posted by a dental office does not match your standard working rate, you are encouraged to counter the offer by selecting the counter button on the shift post and requesting your standard rate. The office can accept or reject your counter.
You can set a custom radius for how far you are willing to travel, up to 50 miles from your home address. If you would like to set a larger radius, you can reach out to GoTu support for assistance.
Dental offices have five business hours if the shift is within three days and eight business hours if the shift is more than three days away for confirming shifts or responding to counter offers. If you no longer want to wait for confirmation or are unable to make it to the shift, you can withdraw without any account penalties at any time.
Things happen and sometimes an office needs to cancel. How much a dental office is refunded depends on when the office cancels and it’s worker type, as outlined below.
Contractor Shifts
Employee Shifts
Any shift adjustments should be made in the app and within 24 hours of the shift ending. After your shift is completed, follow these steps:
This process will prompt us to reach out to the office to confirm the hours you’ve adjusted.
Note* If a dental professional voluntarily leaves a confirmed shift early, they will only be paid for the time spent at the dental office.
We take the safety of our professionals seriously, which is why we require all our users to maintain adequate insurance coverage during each shift they work through our app.

Employee Shifts (Working as a w-2 employee)
To register as a dental professional on GoTu, you must be at least 18 years old.
During the registration process, we will request identification documents or other forms of age verification to ensure compliance with this requirement. This measure is in place to uphold the integrity and professionalism of our platform.
We can’t ensure compensation when you work at offices via verbal agreement. Make sure you are scheduled through GoTu so you are protected with insurance and your payment is secured.
At no time should a dental office independently request services a dental professional provides without using GoTu’s platform. If a dental office wishes to make an exception and hire a dental professional directly, they should contact support at (786) 460-2170 for approval.
