Spearman’s rho analysis was performed on the correlation between English communication ability, and job satisfaction, and a stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed on the factors related to the job satisfaction of the dental hygienist. @*Results@#The job satisfaction of dental hygienists was 2.99 point out of 5 points. There was a strong positive relationship between English communication ability and english communication frequency (r=0.682), and the higher the English communication ability, the higher the job satisfaction (r=0.357).Factors affecting job satisfaction were English communication ability (β=0.378,P<0.001) and foreign medical assistance (β=0.391, P<0.001). The adjusted explanatory power of this model was 34.9%. @*Conclusions@#The job satisfaction of dental hygienists who provided dental health services to foreigners was low.
