At Gentle Dental, we believe exceptional patient care starts with supported, empowered providers. We are looking for a full-time Dental Therapist to join our Medford-area team, providing care across Gentle Dental Medford Main, Gentle Dental Medford Kids, and Gentle Dental Northgate.

The practice features customizable colored lighting, ceiling-mounted entertainment screens, adjustable ambient lighting, and other intentional design elements aimed at creating a calm, engaging environment and minimizing sensory overload.
