Little Heroes Pediatric Dentistry is looking for multiple New Grad Expanded Function Dental Assistants/Dental Assistants for our Anderson and New Castle offices. We do not require any experience, but do require atleast a provisional radiology license that you have to apply for when you finish a dental assisting course. This is a unique opportunity to get Pediatric Dental Assistant Training which is a highly prized specialty. We are not a corporate office, and are not bound by annual performance reviews. As a result, top performers will get pay increments and bonuses as they reach higher levels set in our training program.

We have set a very high bar of care and we have built a rapidly growing, trusting and loyal patient base in less than a year. Each member of our team genuinely cares about the little heroes who call us their dental home, and that shows in how grateful our patients are to every assistant and doctor who worked with them. We are not a corporate mill, and have a "close-knit family" feel in our office. We have a very heavy emphasis on your career growth and education in this office.

Your family life and work-life balance is important to us, and we work with you to ensure our schedule doesn't take away from your life. We are selective in who we hire, but our associates are genuinely happy - because we truly care for them as much as we care for our patients. Our reviews constantly mention how friendly our associates are, and that is reflective of the environment in the practice. We do require you to be a friendly, professional, and a true team player. Last but not least, this is a pediatric dental office so you must love working with kids!
