R. Paul Campbell Orthodontics is looking for an Orthodontic Assistant to join our team! No prior orthodontic or dental experience is required. We are more interested in finding
someone with a great attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn than someone who already knows everything.

● Taking dental/orthodontic records as trained
● Providing friendly and professional patient service
● Helping keep appointments running smoothly and efficiently
● Following office procedures and maintaining appropriate safety and infection-control standards
● Working as part of a team to provide an excellent patient experience
