Temporary Pediatric Dentist | Keizer, OR

October 2026 | Short-Term Opportunity + Potential for Permanent Position

Looking for a great place to spend the month of October — with the possibility of staying longer?

Gentle Dental Keizer Kids is seeking a Pediatric Dentist for a temporary opportunity during October 2026. Whether you have a gap between positions, are looking to add a short-term opportunity to your schedule, or want the chance to experience a practice before making a longer-term commitment, we'd love to connect!

And if you love Keizer Kids as much as we think you will, there is an opportunity to transition into a permanent full-time Pediatric Dentist position at the end of October.

A Practice Built for Kids

Gentle Dental Keizer Kids is a state-of-the-art dental office thoughtfully designed specifically for pediatric patients.

This isn't simply a general dental office with a pediatric schedule — Keizer Kids was built with pediatric dentistry in mind, helping minimize sensory overload and create a positive, comfortable experience for both children and their families.
