About the Position:
A full-time General Dentist position is available at a well-established Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in northeast Missouri. This location is known for delivering comprehensive and compassionate care to a largely underserved population, with a strong focus on pediatric dentistry.
Dentists here practice traditional "bread and butter" dentistry in a modern, well-equipped facility featuring 19 operatories, a mobile dental unit, and a collaborative team of professionals that includes three other general dentists, three registered dental hygienists, and eleven dental assistants.
