• Diagnosing dental issues and creating treatment plans tailored to kids' unique needs
• Performing pediatric dental procedures like fillings, extractions, crowns, and preventive treatments such as sealants and fluoride applications
• Reading X-rays and other diagnostic tests to guide your treatment decisions
• Helping kids (and their parents!) understand the importance of oral hygiene and preventive care in a way that's easy to grasp
• Prescribing medications when needed, following all applicable regulations
• Referring patients to specialists for advanced or specialized care when necessary
• Keeping accurate, up-to-date patient records in line with privacy and regulatory standards
• Following proper sterilization and infection control practices throughout the office

• Experience or specialized training in pediatric dentistry is a plus
• A genuine love for working with kids and making them feel at ease
• Solid clinical skills across a range of dental procedures for younger patients
• Great communication skills, both with kids and their parents
• An eye for detail and a real commitment to quality, patient-centered care
• Good time-management skills to juggle a busy, varied schedule
• Comfort with dental practice software and digital imaging tools is a plus, but not required
• A professional approach to patient confidentiality and safety standards
• An eagerness to learn and grow, with openness to mentorship along the way

What You'll Get

• A clear path for career growth, with room to build new skills and take on more responsibility
• The chance to grow into a leadership role down the road in a small, close-knit practice
• Real mentorship from experienced professionals who want to see you succeed
• A supportive, collaborative team that actually enjoys working together
• A caseload that keeps things interesting and rewarding
• A warm, welcoming environment where you can build a career you're excited about
