A PRACTICE BUILT FOR KIDS — AND THE PEDIATRIC DENTISTS WHO CARE FOR THEM.

Gentle Dental is seeking a Pediatric Dentist to join our Keizer Kids practice in Keizer, Oregon, with full-time or part-time schedule options available.

Keizer Kids isn't simply a general dental office that sees children. The practice was designed specifically around the pediatric patient experience, with an entire team focused on helping kids feel safe, comfortable, and successful at the dentist.

A Space Designed Differently

From customizable colored lighting and adjustable ambient lighting to ceiling-mounted entertainment screens, the Keizer Kids environment was intentionally designed to help reduce sensory overload and create a calmer, more engaging experience for children and their families.

And the pediatric focus goes well beyond the physical space.

You'll work alongside a team that understands kids, knows how to put young patients at ease, and is committed to helping children develop a positive relationship with dental care from the very beginning.
