About The Position

The Dental Assistant plays a critical role in supporting the dentist during clinical procedures, delivering excellent patient care, and enhancing the efficiency of the dental team. The Dental Assistant performs a wide range of clinical and administrative tasks within their scope of practice as defined by state law, while promoting a positive, patient-focused experience. Smile New York Outreach, through our affiliated dentists and other dental professionals, visits kids throughout New York City and Westchester County in the familiar surroundings of their schools, bringing much needed dental care to kids who may not otherwise have access. Smile New York Outreach is devoted to the ideal that all children deserve high-quality dental care. We embrace and support the various initiatives throughout the State of New York to improve the health of children, including greater access to dental care in schools. Knowing that many parents cannot take their children to the dentist due to issues including time off from work and transportation challenges, Smile New York Outreach brings the care to the need. Using the latest technology in portable equipment, a team of dedicated dental professionals provide preventive and restorative dental care to children right at school. Our flexibility and expertise allow us to transform classrooms, auditoriums, gyms or other suitable areas into fully functional dental offices for the day.
