If so, we’d love to meet you!

We’re looking for a friendly, dependable, and compassionate Pediatric Dental Assistant to join our team. This is an opportunity to do more than assist with dental procedures—you’ll help create positive experiences that can shape how children feel about going to the dentist for years to come.

  • Helping patients and parents understand treatment and oral health recommendations.
  • Preparing treatment rooms and dental instruments.
  • Maintaining proper sterilization and infection control procedures.
  • Taking an active role in creating a positive patient experience.
  • Keeping treatment areas organized, clean, and fully stocked.
  • Working collaboratively with the entire dental team.
  • Helping our fast-paced office run smoothly and efficiently.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

  • Current Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) license in Washington State.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work comfortably and positively with children and their families.
  • Ability to stay calm, patient, and professional in a busy environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

Preferred:

  • Previous dental assisting experience.
  • Pediatric dental experience.
  • Knowledge of dental instruments, sterilization, and infection control.
  • Current CPR and First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain).

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is kind, dependable, team-oriented, and genuinely enjoys working with children.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

We believe that a great team makes a great patient experience. We’re committed to creating a workplace where you feel supported, appreciated, and able to grow.

We offer:

  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Continuing education and professional development
  • Supportive and collaborative team environment
  • Group health and dental insurance with employer contribution
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Opportunities to build your skills and grow professionally

*Benefits are available for Full-Time employees only*
