Location: Somewhere between the land of Novocaine and the Island of Floss
About Us: We're a top-tier dental practice fueled by caffeine, sarcasm, and an unshakable belief that teeth deserve the royal treatment. Our office is where plaque goes to die, and smiles are born again. We're looking for a Dental Assistant who isn't afraid of a little spit and can handle a suction tube like a lightsaber.
Job Description: Are you passionate about teeth? Do you enjoy poking around in people’s mouths with tiny mirrors and pointy things? Do you want to wear scrubs and crocs like a boss? Then you might be the one we're looking for.
Key Responsibilities:
Interpret muffled speech like a dental whisperer ("ahhhhggh" = "I think I swallowed that cotton roll").
Be the dentist’s right hand, left hand, and emotional support system.
Vacuum up saliva with the elegance of a dental ninja.
Keep instruments so clean you could eat off them (but please don’t).
Calm nervous patients using your soothing voice and low-key Jedi mind tricks.
Ensure every kid leaves with a sticker and a slightly traumatizing floss lecture.
Requirements:
Certificate in Dental Assisting or the ability to fake extreme competence until you make it.
Strong multitasking skills (yes, you’ll be asked to hold the suction, hand instruments, AND listen to your coworker’s weekend drama simultaneously).
Must not flinch at the phrase "open wide."
Ability to laugh at dentist jokes, even the molar-pun ones.
Bonus Points If You:
Can identify dental instruments blindfolded (but maybe don’t try that during a procedure).
Bring snacks (the kind we can’t eat until AFTER work).
Know all the words to “Teeth” by Lady Gaga (or at least hum along).
Perks:
Free floss. Like, a lot of it.
The satisfaction of sending cavities running for their lives.
A team that’s 98% professional and 2% pure chaos (in the best way).
