Periodontal Dental Assistant

About the Role The chairside assistant works closely with Dr. Pechter. The assistant greets and seats patients, preparing them to see the doctor. For initial patients, the assistant records notes in the patient chart as the doctor performs the examination, and enters periodontal charting data into a computerized charting program. For surgical patients, the assistant hands instruments to the doctor as therapy is being performed, while also providing hi-speed suction and retraction as needed.

We work four days per week, with Wednesdays and weekends off. This allows more time for all to attend to other home and family responsibilities. Only working two consecutive days before a break, is a very relaxing work schedule.
