Molar ExpressDental Assistant – Pediatric Mobile Dental Program

CCAP Mission Statement - To empower all people and communities, challenged by poverty as well as social and cultural barriers, through advocacy, education, and access to high quality health and human services.

Take your dental assisting career on the road and make a difference in communities across Rhode Island!

Do you enjoy working with children, being involved in your community, and having a change of scenery instead of working in the same dental office every day?

We have a rare opportunity for a Dental Assistant to join the Molar Express, a pediatric mobile dental program serving children and families throughout Newport County, the Blackstone Valley, and the West Bay.

The Molar Express is powered by a unique statewide collaboration between East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP), Comprehensive Community Action Program (CCAP), Blackstone Valley Community Health Care (BVCHC), and Ronald McDonald House New England (RMHCNE)—bringing together some of Rhode Island's leading community-based organizations to improve access to pediatric oral healthcare.

Why You'll Love This Position

• Work aboard a fully equipped mobile dental clinic
• Travel to different communities and partner locations throughout Rhode Island
• Work primarily with children and families
• Be part of an innovative collaboration focused on expanding access to dental care
• Connect with schools, community organizations, and local partners
• Enjoy a work environment where your scenery and community can change throughout the week
• Work alongside a dedicated team passionate about improving children's oral health

What You'll Do

As a Dental Assistant aboard the Molar Express, you'll provide chairside assistance to the dentist while helping create a welcoming and positive experience for our pediatric patients. You'll assist with procedures, prepare operatories, support sterilization and infection control, take dental radiographs as qualified, provide patient education, maintain supplies and equipment, and help keep the mobile dental program running smoothly.

We're Looking for Someone Who

Loves working with children, enjoys meeting new people, is flexible and dependable, and wants to use their dental assisting skills to make an impact beyond the walls of a traditional dental office.

If you're looking for more than just another Dental Assistant position, this may be the opportunity for you.

Change your scenery. Serve your community. Help children smile!

Join the Molar Express Pediatric Mobile Dental Program and become part of a one-of-a-kind collaboration bringing quality dental care directly to Rhode Island's children and communities.
