What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pediatric Dental Assistant position at Sprout Pediatric Dental?
Are you an overly prepared mind reader? Do you find yourself completing sentences, sometimes about dentistry? Do you love to lend a hand, or both of them (and maybe have more than two because that would be super awesome? Are you secretly an octopus? Our patients would love that!) Do you love kids, have a great sense of humor, and know tons of stuff about dinosaurs, Disney movies, and even Stranger Things? Yes? Great. Let’s chat.
Sprout Dental is growing, and we want you to grow with us. We’re seeking a full-time Pediatric Dental Assistant for our Hamlin office. You’ll support our front desk in welcoming patients and families to our office, and preparing them for their appointments and treatments.
In the clinical setting, you’ll ready each of our rooms for treatment including equipment and instruments, and then help our dentists perform four-handed dentistry. Other critical operational duties include providing hygiene and post-operative care instructions, collecting payments, and scheduling follow-up care as needed.
In sterilization, you’ll support our team, processes, and standards, and perform lab tasks as required and appropriate. We’re all-hands-on deck here if you haven’t figured it out.
Apply only if you love kids, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, and have a can-do work ethic and attitude. There is a lot to learn, and we’re happy to teach.
Must have or obtain valid professional licenses, as well as CPR certification, TACT2 training (pending), HIPPA and OSHA training and certification, laser training and certification, nitrous oxide training and Child abuse, FBI, Criminal Screening and Drug Clearances. We will also need you to be able to lift 30 pounds, and assist with managing child behavior following best practices.
