Dental Assistant needed to act as Orthodontic Records and Sterilization Technician! We are looking for someone who can work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and some Tuesdays. However schedule can be modified for the right candidate. Afternoon-only hours are also an option. This is a great job for someone who is interested in the dental/orthodontic field but does not have any experience. No formal training is required (although it is helpful!). This is a great stepping stone to becoming a higher-level dental auxiliary or for a pre-dental student. If you are a general dental assistant but have always been interested in becoming an orthodontic assistant, this is a great way to become familiar with orthodontics before being trained as an orthodontic assistant. •
