Dental Assistant

For over thirty years, White Family Dental has been the caring dentist for the families of the Susquehanna Valley. We know that our teeth are important, but the person attached to those teeth is our main focus. And so the goal is to help you live a happier, healthier and more comfortable life with a beautiful smile. We do that by caring for the whole person. That’s why we have patients who return to Lancaster County for their dental care even after moving away from Central Pennsylvania. We, as a team of committed professionals, feel our purpose is: to help patients and ourselves achieve the highest level of well-being that is personally appropriate, provide excellent services in preventative and comprehensive dentistry to our patients, and share our knowledge with our patients and each other and to maintain our skills at the optimum level. We are a busy, multi-doctor, high tech dental office looking for full-time experienced dental assistants, hygienists and EFDAs. If you have excellent patient skills and enjoy being a team player, please contact us to join our team!
