Rapid City, South Dakota, United States Great Plains Tribal Leaders' Health Board Full time

Job Summary


This position specializes in providing high-quality dental care to children from infancy through adolescence at the Oyate Health Center (OHC). The role involves a specific understanding of the developmental stages of children's teeth, gums, and related oral structures.


The pediatric dentist ensures the delivery of child-friendly dental services to the young relatives of OHC, incorporating approaches that cater to the unique dental needs of children and promote positive dental experiences from an early age.


Key Responsibilities



  • Evaluate pediatric relatives' condition using clinical examination and radiographs, with a focus on developmental dental stages and child-specific oral health issues.
  • Provide prophylaxis and preventative dental services for children, including fluoride treatments and dental sealants, emphasizing early cavity prevention and oral health education.
  • Treat dental caries in children, including filling cavities and placing crowns, when necessary, with an approach suitable for primary and young permanent teeth.
  • Administer local anesthetic with special consideration for pediatric dosages and relative comfort to alleviate anxiety and pain during dental procedures.
  • Conduct pulpotomies and stainless-steel crown placements as alternatives to adult root canal therapy, tailored to treat affected primary teeth.
  • Provide basis periodontal care suited for children, focusing on preventative measures and non-surgical treatments like scaling and oral hygiene instruction.
  • Perform pediatric oral surgery, such as tooth extractions and minor surgical procedures, considering the unique aspects of a child's oral anatomy and development.
  • Design and fabricate pediatric space maintainers to address premature tooth loss in children, rather than adult-oriented fixed and removable dentures.
  • Educate both the children and their guardians in child-specific oral hygiene and home care practices to foster lifelong dental health habits.
  • Comply with federal laws and regulations as required by HIPAA, with special attention to the privacy concerns of pediatric relatives.
  • Actively participate in pediatric dental clinic quality improvement activities, focusing on child-friendly environments and procedures.
  • Participate in pediatric dentistry meetings and represent the pediatric dental community as required.
  • Provide prompt and appropriate treatment to address urgent dental issues.
  • Work collaboratively with dental assistants, hygienists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care.

Requirements



  • Must have a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Dental Medicine (DMD) from a school approved by the Council on Dental Education, American Dental Association (ADA), or other dental school.
  • Must have a pediatric dentistry certification from an accredited organization.
  • Post-licensure professional experience in the practice of pediatric dentistry.
  • Must have a permanent, full, and unrestricted license to practice dentistry in any U.S. State or Territory.
  • Must obtain and maintain medical staff clinical privileges, including any licensure requirements.
  • Basic Life Support (BLS) certification required, or must be obtained within ninety (90) days of employment.
