• Administer local anesthetic agents safely and effectively (appropriate Alaska state certification required).
• Take and review radiographs, including digital X‑rays.
• Educate patients on oral hygiene and support long‑term care planning.
• Document clinical findings accurately and collaborate with the doctor on patient care.
• Collaborate closely with the doctor and clinical team.
• Oversee patient recall duties, monitoring intervals to ensure patients return for timely routine care.
• Schedule future hygiene appointments and manage patient follow‑ups before they leave the chair.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong clinical skills and a warm, patient‑centered approach.
