Job Description

Be honest: when's the last time a job actually noticed you, not just when you clocked in five minutes late, but when you walked in the room? You spend over a third of your life at work. That's a lot of hours to spend somewhere that doesn't feel like it sees you. We built something different. The Practice Brush Pediatric Dentistry is one of the most respected pediatric practices in the Chicago area, with locations in Hinsdale and Downers Grove. We're led by Dr. Mira Albert, a National Spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and Dr. Maggie Rizzo, who runs our Downers Grove team. We're growing, and we're looking for someone spectacular to grow with us. The Job No dental experience? Good. We're not hiring for what you already know how to do in a dental office, we're hiring for who you are, and we'll teach you the rest. Some of our best dental assistants started somewhere completely different: folding sweaters at Nordstrom, pulling espresso shots, working the front desk at a salon, coaching a rec league. If you've ever turned a stranger's bad day around just by being yourself, you already have the most important skill for this job. What We're Looking For Off the clock, you might be someone who bakes, gardens, coaches a kids' team, or plays an instrument badly but enthusiastically. The best dental assistants we've hired tend to love hobbies that take patience, creativity, and a steady hand. The experience that actually matters here might be that you babysat for years, coached Little League, worked a summer at camp or in a daycare, or you're just the person every kid in your extended family runs to first. That's pediatric experience, and it counts more than you'd think. The Promise Bring the right energy, and we'll bring the training, the mentor, and the team. As you earn your certifications (coronal polishing, sealants, nitrous oxide monitoring, all paid training), your pay grows with you. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Good music, bad jokes, and a team that actually likes each other, that's the vibe.
