Associate Pediatric Dentist - Join our dental family

At Salem Pediatric Dental & Orthodontic Associates, we believe pediatric dentistry should be joyful — for our patients and for our doctors.

We are looking for a kind, compassionate Pediatric Dentist who wants more than just a job. We are offering a long-term professional home where you can grow, feel supported, and truly enjoy coming to work each day. New graduates, experienced Pediatric Dentists and everyone in between are welcome to apply. Salary based on collections.

Why This Is a Special OpportunityA True “Quality of Life” Practice

We are intentionally structured to protect your time, energy, and passion for dentistry.

No evenings

No weekends

Thoughtfully paced schedules

A supportive team

A culture that values excellence over volume

You will not be pushed to exhaustion or measured solely by production. We believe great care happens when doctors are balanced and fulfilled.

Built-In Mentorship

You will work side-by-side with a pediatric dentist who brings 20+ years of clinical experience and a genuine passion for teaching.

Whether you’re refining your behavior management skills, treatment planning, or clinical efficiency, you’ll have daily access to guidance, collaboration, and encouragement.

This is an especially wonderful environment for a new graduate who wants to build confidence in a supportive setting.

New Graduates Welcome

If you’re finishing residency or early in your career, we would love to meet you. We remember what it’s like to be in your shoes and have intentionally created an environment where young doctors can thrive.

A Rare Long-Term Home

Associates in our practice tend to stay for many years. That longevity speaks to our culture — respectful, team-oriented, and genuinely positive. We invest in our people, and it shows.

Provide comprehensive pediatric dental care (preventive, restorative, emergency)

Create positive, comfortable experiences for children and families

Practice thoughtful behavior guidance

Collaborate with assistants who truly support you

Educate parents and caregivers on prevention and oral health

Maintain thorough and accurate clinical documentation
