Temporary Pediatric Dentist | Keizer, OR

October 2026 | Short-Term Opportunity + Potential for Permanent Position

Looking for a great place to spend the month of October — with the possibility of staying longer?

Gentle Dental Keizer Kids is seeking a Pediatric Dentist for a temporary opportunity during October 2026. Whether you have a gap between positions, are looking to add a short-term opportunity to your schedule, or want the chance to experience a practice before making a longer-term commitment, we'd love to connect!

And if you love Keizer Kids as much as we think you will, there is an opportunity to transition into a permanent full-time Pediatric Dentist position at the end of October.

A Practice Built for Kids

Gentle Dental Keizer Kids is a state-of-the-art dental office thoughtfully designed specifically for pediatric patients.

From customizable colored lighting and ceiling-mounted entertainment screens to adjustable ambient lighting, every detail of the practice was intentionally designed to create a calm, engaging environment for children.

This isn't simply a general dental office with a pediatric schedule — Keizer Kids was built with pediatric dentistry in mind, helping minimize sensory overload and create a positive, comfortable experience for both children and their families.

The Opportunity

Temporary Pediatric Dentist – October 2026

Join our Keizer Kids team for the month of October with a defined, short-term commitment.

• An entire team focused on pediatric dentistry and helping kids feel comfortable in the dental office
• A modern practice intentionally designed around the pediatric patient experience
• Supportive, team-oriented environment
• Clinical autonomy to provide quality care based on best practices and each patient's individual needs
• Opportunity to step into a practice already equipped, staffed, and designed for pediatric care
• Potential to transition into a permanent full-time Pediatric Dentist role after October

Position Qualifications

• Completion of an accredited Pediatric Dentistry Residency
• Active Oregon Dental License in good standing
• Current CPR/BLS certification
• DEA registration and NPI as applicable

For candidates interested in continuing beyond October, there is an opportunity to transition into a permanent full-time position with Gentle Dental Keizer Kids, including our comprehensive full-time benefits package.

If you're a Pediatric Dentist looking for a great short-term opportunity — or you're interested in finding your next long-term dental home but want the chance to experience the practice first — we'd love to hear from you!
