Job Description

EFDA DENTAL ASSISTANT – PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

Love kids? Love animals? Not afraid of dinosaurs? You might belong at Toothasaurus.

Location: Wesley Chapel, FL
Pay: $14–$25/hour based on experience and qualifications
Job Type: Full-Time or Part-Time
Schedule & Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, 7 AM–6 PM — Wednesdays OFF

Toothasaurus Children’s Dentistry is looking for an energetic, dependable Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA) to join our pediatric dental team.

MUST-HAVES

  • Current Florida EFDA certification – REQUIRED
  • Radiography certification – REQUIRED
  • Must genuinely love working with children
  • Must love animals — we have a therapy dog
  • Dependable, positive and a team player

THE JOB

Assist our doctors with pediatric dental procedures, X-rays, sealants, coronal polishing, sterilization, charting, patient education and keeping the clinical day running smoothly.

Pediatric dental experience is preferred, but personality, reliability and attitude matter tremendously.

WHY TOOTHASAURUS?

We’re not your average dental office. We have dinosaurs, movies, games, a therapy dog and a whole lot of personality.

We take excellent dentistry seriously — we just don’t believe the dental office has to feel serious.

You should be comfortable with kids, dogs, dinosaurs and the occasional tiny human who has decided an X-ray is absolutely NOT happening today.

If you love kids, love animals, and want to work somewhere a little different, we want to meet you.
