School-Based Pediatric Dentist
Pulaski & Montgomery County Schools, VA (Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Dublin, Pulaski)
$200K – $230K
4-day workweek (Mon–Thurs) | 32–40 hours/week
Travel between school sites

This role is part of a broader effort to expand access to care across Virginia by meeting patients where they are. Through school-based services, we’re improving health outcomes early—and supporting healthier communities for the long term.

Why This Role Matters:
This is a unique opportunity to bring dental care directly to where kids are—school. You’ll help remove barriers to care, treat patients who might otherwise go without, and make a lasting impact on children and families across your community.
What You’ll Do:
Provide comprehensive dental care to pediatric patients (and select adults)
Perform exams, diagnose conditions, and develop treatment plans
Deliver preventive care (sealants, fluoride, education)
Treat acute and chronic dental conditions (restorations, extractions, minor procedures)
Refer patients for specialty care when needed
Educate patients and families on oral health

What Your Day Looks Like:
Work directly within local schools—meeting patients where they are
Travel between nearby school sites
Collaborate with dental assistants, hygienists, and care teams
Be part of an integrated care model (including medical and behavioral health referrals)

What We’re Looking For:
DDS or DMD from an accredited program
Active Virginia dental license (or ability to obtain)
DEA registration
Passion for working with pediatric and underserved populations

What Matters Here:
A commitment to community-based, mission-driven care
Comfort working independently in a school-based setting
Strong communication with patients, families, and staff
A flexible, team-oriented mindset

Why This Role Stands Out:
4-day workweek = strong work-life balance
Meaningful, community-focused work outside a traditional clinic setting
Opportunity to directly impact children’s health and long-term outcomes
Supportive team and leadership

Additional Details:
Use of dental software systems (Open Dental, Dentrix, etc.)
Participation in care coordination and referrals as needed
Standard clinical safety protocols in place
