Job Description

Hi, I'm Jeffrey Greenberg, the dentist and owner of Sweet Spot Dental.

If you've done per diem work before, you know how it usually goes. Someone points you to a room, you spend your first patient looking for gauze and figuring out their software, and by lunch nobody has learned your name.

We want your first day here to go differently.

A week before you come in, we'll email you the answers to the questions people usually have to ask on a first day: how to log into Eaglesoft, which column is yours, where to park. Every morning starts with a quick team huddle we call the Fast 15, and you'll be part of it. By the time your first patient sits down, you'll know everyone's name and how the day is planned.

You'll find a piezo in every operatory and a fully digital office.

Many of our patients are nervous, and some have put off the dentist for years. What helps them most is someone gentle who explains what's happening and never makes them feel judged. If that's how you already practice, you'll do really well here.

The work itself: assessments, thorough cleanings, and working with me during exams. We're looking for occasional days when we need coverage, and you choose which ones work for you. You'll need an active Massachusetts dental hygiene license.

Some of the people who cover for us just want occasional days, and that's great. Others are looking for a long-term home. If that's you, and we grow or a regular spot opens up, we'd much rather hire someone we already know and trust.

Apply, and I'll reach out myself to set up a time to meet.
