Seeking Exceptional Dental Assistant

It is always fun (and fulfilling) when an employee is with you a long time and you get to watch them grow in both their personal life and what they are able to bring to the office environment and patients. 

To see them really embrace the mission and vision of the practice, the heart and soul of the practice and the reason we get up each day and do what we do. To see them learn new tasks and face new responsibilities and challenges. It is also tough to say goodbye when they move away. 

Such is the case with Elaina who has been our main operative and sedation assistant for these last five years. Her house finally sold; I've written her letter of recommendation. So she's packing the van and moving to Indiana. And so here we are looking for another dental assistant to calm a fearful child or reassure an anxious parent. 

It is our mission to go above and beyond what is considered normal for a dental office. In the level of communication with the parent, in the accommodations we make for the parent or child, in the new techniques we employ for keeping a child from suffering from dental decay. To do this on a day-to-day basis requires exceptional staff. They have must have more than just the basic skills to do their job. They must be able to communicate with children and adults. They must be able to show compassion. They must be teachers. They must be comforters. They must work together with a higher purpose. 

Currently we are seeking applications from dental assistants with at least two years experience for an operative assistant position. Our office performs oral sedations for children who are overly anxious or pre-cooperative so the necessary dental procedures can be performed without unnecessary stress on the patient or the staff. Exceptional assisting skills are required, as well as the ability to work quickly and efficiently. A comfort level with young children and the ability to tolerate and have compassion for difficult or anxious children is essential. An understanding of basic sedation protocols and BLS can be acquired through training if needed. Successful candidates will have a stable work history.
