About the Role

We are in search of dedicated, skilled, and compassionate Dental Assistants to join our devoted team of professionals in achieving our mission of “changing the lives of our communities' children through access to excellent oral health services and education.”

Where we started

In 2005, an alarming number of children were arriving in Green Bay area emergency rooms with dental pain and infections. A dedicated group of community volunteers with the Green Bay Rotary decided to do something about it and created an initiative in 2005 called Healthy Teeth, Healthy Kids, a mobile, in-school dental clinic. From this program, the Oral Health Partnership was created. In 2007, we became a 501(c)3 and opened our first clinic at the Howe Community Resource Center.

Where we are

Today we are so excited to be giving children the care and tools they need to smile! We spearhead a true community effort with partnerships with multiple organizations and 7 school districts with over 40 schools to treat children with untreated dental needs throughout the county. Each year, our clinics and School-Based Programs perform over 100,000 procedures, serving over 10,000 children, with over 4,000 being seen in school. Through countless outreach efforts to daycares and other community organizations, we are continuing our efforts to reach all the children in Brown County that can benefit from our services. But we still have more work to do.

Where we’re going

We will continue to grow and evolve until every child in Brown County has access to quality dental care. This includes expanding our clinics, visiting schools all over the county, and outreach to where we can treat our community's children. Every child deserves a healthy smile, and we are committed to making sure they can get one!
