The Dentele Group is partnering with an innovative, privately owned pediatric dental practice in New Hampshire to identify a Certified Dental Assistant who is passionate about working with children and excited to expand their clinical skills in a progressive, growth-oriented environment.

This is a unique opportunity to join a practice that is redefining pediatric dental care through airway-focused treatment, advanced technology, orthodontics, and comprehensive sedation services. The doctor is recognized as the only airway-trained pediatric dentist in the state and continues to invest heavily in innovation, education, and patient care.

If you're looking for a role where you'll do far more than traditional pediatric assisting and want to work alongside a supportive team that genuinely enjoys coming to work each day, we'd love to hear from you.

  • Positive, supportive, and team-oriented culture
  • Four-day work week
  • Exposure to advanced pediatric procedures
  • Airway-focused dentistry and orthodontics
  • Opportunity to assist with multiple levels of sedation
  • State-of-the-art technology including CBCT and digital scanning
  • Strong commitment to continuing education and professional growth
  • Collaborative team that values learning and development


Compensation & Benefits

  • $27-$30 per hour
  • Health Insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Paid Time Off

  • Continuing Education Allowance


Schedule

Monday – Thursday

What You'll Be Doing

This is a hands-on clinical role where you'll support a wide variety of pediatric dental, orthodontic, airway, and sedation procedures.

Responsibilities include:

  • Chairside assisting for pediatric dental procedures
  • Supporting nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation appointments
  • Performing child prophylaxis appointments
  • Capturing digital radiographs, panoramic images, CBCTs, and intraoral photographs
  • Digital intraoral scanning
  • Orthodontic records and treatment support
  • Assisting with infant and pediatric frenectomy procedures
  • Sealant placement
  • Nitrous oxide monitoring
  • Supporting comprehensive restorative and surgical pediatric procedures
  • Delivering an exceptional experience for both children and parents


What Success Looks Like

Within your first few months, you'll become confident navigating all aspects of the practice, from emergency visits and sedation appointments to orthodontic records, airway consultations, and preventive care. Long-term success in this role means becoming a trusted clinical team member who can confidently support all appointment types while helping create an outstanding experience for every child and family who walks through the door.


What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Certified Dental Assistant (CDA)
  • Radiology Certification
  • Nitrous Oxide Certification
  • CPR Certification
  • Orthodontic Certification

Preferred Experience:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Digital Scanning
  • Child Prophylaxis
  • Airway-Focused Dentistry


The ideal candidate is:

  • Energetic and outgoing
  • Comfortable communicating with both children and parents
  • Adaptable in a fast-paced environment
  • Team-oriented and collaborative
  • Coachable and eager to learn
  • Technology savvy
  • Passionate about delivering exceptional patient care

This role is best suited for someone who thrives in a busy environment, enjoys working with children, and wants to continue expanding their clinical skills while being part of a practice that is truly at the forefront of pediatric dentistry.
