We are seeking a full-time Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary (EFDA) to work directly alongside the doctor and keep clinical and operational flow running smoothly. You will report directly to the doctor and perform expanded functions under direct supervision.

- Handle instrument sterilization, operatory setup, breakdown, and turnover
- Greet patients, manage hand-offs, and communicate clearly chairside
- Use Eaglesoft practice management software (training provided as needed)
