About our Clinic:

Our dental practice is quite lively. We treat our patients with the utmost respect and concern for their physical, emotional, and mental well-being while instilling a fun and vibrant atmosphere bringing smiles to all who enter our doors. A positive attitude, and modern dentistry, can bring joy to our patients.

A Day in the Life of a Dental Assistant with Salud:

Let’s face it: Dental Assistants do a lot over the course of a workday. For example, you prepare the treatment room; you maintain the schedule and ensure the team is sticking to it; you interact with patients before, during, and after procedures; and you assist the dentist chairside. And these are just some of the many duties on your plate.

Education:

• Graduation from high school or equivalent is required

Experience:

• Previous dental assistant experience desired, but not required
• Bilingual English/Spanish is preferred

Licensure/Certification:

• Must be radiology certified within the timeframe set by Dental Department standards

Maintain current Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare providers from one of the following organizations:

a. American Heart Association;

b. American Safety and Health Institute; or

No licensure or certification is needed to be hired, although Dental Assistants must become credentialed through the Salud Career Ladders program.

The application window is anticipated to close by 10/31/25
