JOBS-015: Registered Dental Assistant
Some Jobs Look Good on a Resume.
This one you will actually remember.
There are RDAs who clock in, do the work, and clock out. Nothing wrong with that. But every once in a while, someone walks into a role and realizes the job is bigger than they expected. The work matters in a way they didn’t anticipate. The kids they see aren’t just patients. They’re kids who don’t always get a fair shot, and a good experience in that chair might be the thing that changes how they think about their health for the rest of their lives.
That’s the kind of work we do here.
About the Practice
ToothFillers superKIDS Dentistry in San Jose serves a predominantly Denti-Cal pediatric population. Dr. Tracy Filler started this practice with a specific belief: that kids from underserved communities deserve the same clinical standard as anyone else. Not a modified version. The same one. The standards here are high not because it looks good, but because these families are counting on us.
The practice is growing. The team is tight. The days are fast and full, and by the time you drive home, you will know you did something real. That’s what people notice in their first few weeks here. The pace catches them off guard. So does how good it feels at the end of the day.
The Role
|
What the job actually involves: Full-time RDA in a high-volume pediatric office. You’re chairside with kids ages 0 to 18, most on Denti-Cal. Nitrous, pulpotomies, stainless steel crowns, space maintainers. A schedule that moves fast and a team that depends on you to keep up. You’ll work with a doctor who holds herself to the same standard she holds her staff, and who notices when you do something well. |
What We Need From You
- Active California RDA License, current and verified. This is a requirement. Without it, expanded functions aren’t possible and the role doesn’t work.
- Current IC, BLS, Coronal Polishing, RHS (X-ray) certifications. You need to be cleared to work from Day 1.
- Fluent in English and Ideally Bilingual. Our families communicate in English and Spanish or Vietnamese. Clinical instructions, consent conversations, a parent who is scared about what just happened to her kid. You need to handle all of it, in both languages, without hesitation.
- Pediatric experience is a real advantage. If you know the clinical side of working with kids already, great. If your instincts are strong and you learn fast, we will talk.
- You set your own standard for the quality of your work. Your station is clean and your setups are right because that is who you are, not because someone reminded you.
- You take correction as information. You get better on purpose.
- When things go sideways in the op, which they will, you figure out the next move without waiting to be told.
A Note on Growth
This practice is building toward something bigger. Dr. Filler is focused on leaving a legacy in this community, not just running a practice. The people who come in now and grow with it will be part of that. If you show up consistently and raise the bar, there is room to grow here. That is a real statement, not a recruiting line.
