Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA)
About the role
We're not just building bright smiles—we're building a place where you feel valued, supported, and inspired. We care deeply about our team, our patients, and our community. By joining our clinical home, you will collaborate side-by-side with two extraordinary, board-certified pediatric dental providers: Dr. Anna Yoo, DMD: A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine who completed her pediatric specialty training at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Dr. Anna’s mission is to make checkups feel like playdates (with way fewer sugary treats!), celebrate tiny teeth milestones, and bring extra joy to everything she does. Outside the clinic, she loves discovering cozy coffee shops, thrifting, and K-pop concerts! Dr. Marwa Abdelrahman, DDS, MSD (Diplomate, ABO-Board Certified): A practicing dentist since 2010 who completed her pediatric dentistry residency and master’s degree at the University of Maryland. Dr. Marwa specializes in behavior guidance, caring for children with special needs, and advanced sedation options (including N2O and general anesthesia). An active member of the ADA, AAPD, ODA, and AAWD currently completing her MBA, Dr. Marwa loves traveling, hiking, sports, and exploring new local restaurants! Local travel note: This adventure includes travel between our Gresham and Sandy offices (we keep it local and fun!).
