• Teaching patients how to care for their teeth like a pro—because prevention is key!
• Providing emergency triage and supporting Telehealth home visits when needed.
• Keeping our dental spaces spotless and instruments sterilized, all in line with top-tier infection control standards.
• Helping to train new team members and bring fresh energy to our dental department.

What You Bring:

• A degree in Dental Hygiene and a valid NYS license.
• A positive attitude, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for patient care.
• Bonus points for prior dental experience (but not required—we love fast learners!).

What You Can Expect:

• A supportive, team-first work environment where your input matters.
• Opportunities to grow professionally and take part in meaningful quality initiatives.
• The chance to help make dental care more accessible—right from our clinic and through telehealth outreach.

Physical Stuff:

• This role requires standing for long periods and occasionally lifting up to 25 lbs.
• Good vision and attention to detail are must-haves—you’ll be up close and personal with your patients’ pearly whites!
