Job Description

At Dentistry for Children , we are looking for a Pediatric Dental Assistant who enjoys helping children succeed — even when the moment is challenging. This is a position for someone who: Stays calm when a child is anxious Speaks kindly and confidently to children and parents Moves efficiently in a fast-paced environment Supports teammates without being asked Finds joy in small victories (like a child who was scared last visit but smiles this time) If you prefer a slow, quiet clinical environment, pediatric dentistry may not be the right fit. But if you enjoy energy, teamwork, and making a real difference in children's lives , we would love to meet you.
