Pediatric Dental Assistant

Parents say it best: their kids actually want to come back. That's not an accident. It comes from a team that genuinely likes working together and treats every child like they matter. We're looking for a pediatric dental assistant who wants to be part of that.

Honeycomb Pediatric Dentistry is a fast-growing kids' dental practice in Ozark with a 5.0 rating across 342 Google reviews. We're not a corporate office — we're a small team that takes pride in making dental visits calm, positive, and something families look forward to. We're hiring a full-time pediatric dental assistant to join us.

What the job actually looks like

You're chairside with the doctor and right next to the kiddo. That matters. A lot of children are nervous, and your calm, upbeat presence makes the whole visit. Day to day:

• Setting up operatories, assisting the doctor through procedures, and keeping the room running smoothly so kids never feel rushed.
• Taking radiographs, helping with impressions, and charting accurately.
• Sterilization and instrument processing. We take infection control seriously and so should you.
• Talking kids and parents through what's happening next — people relax when they know what to expect.
• Helping create a fun, positive experience so a child's first memories of the dentist are good ones.
• Working alongside our front desk and clinical team to keep the day flowing.

Why people like working here

• Four-day work week. 8 AM to 4:30 PM, four days a week, with no late nights.
• The team actually likes each other. Families notice it — 342 reviews and a perfect 5.0 don't happen by accident.
• We invest in our people. Competitive pay ($20–$25/hr), dental benefits, a retirement plan, paid time off, plus training and mentorship in pediatric dentistry and real opportunities to grow.
• It's genuinely a great place to work. If you love kids, this is the setting for you.

Who we're looking for

We don't need a unicorn. We need someone who's genuinely warm, capable chairside, and great with kids. Here's what matters to us:

• You're a kid person. You can make a nervous five-year-old laugh and a worried parent feel reassured.
• You stay calm and organized when the schedule gets tight, the doctor needs something fast, and a patient needs comforting — all at once.
• You're a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) with current CPR and X-ray certification — all three required. Pediatric experience is a plus but not required.
• You'd love to put down roots. We're a team that grows together, and we'd be thrilled to have you build your career with us.
