Position Overview

Understanding the Role

A Role at the Heart of Community Dental Care

As a Dental Hygienist at Gentle Family Dentistry, you will step into a newly built, state-of-the-art clinic designed to serve patients of all ages, from children experiencing their first dental visits to seniors maintaining lifelong oral health. This isn’t simply a job — it’s a chance to practice in an environment where patient care is prioritized, and your skills are central to the clinic’s mission of compassionate, accessible dentistry.

From the moment you enter your dedicated operatory, you’ll notice how this opportunity differs from typical fast-paced practices. Instead of being overwhelmed by unrealistic patient loads, you will typically see three to four patients in the morning and three to four in the afternoon. This schedule allows you the time to provide personalized attention, thorough cleanings, and education that helps patients take control of their oral health — without feeling rushed or overburdened.

Gentle Family Dentistry is part of Comanche County Memorial Hospital’s Lawton Community Health Center network, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that plays a vital role in ensuring dental access for underserved populations in southwest Oklahoma. Your work here directly strengthens the community by filling a genuine need for preventive and restorative oral care.

  • Practice Setting: Brand-new, modern dental clinic within the Lawton Community Health Center network (FQHC)

  • Schedule Flexibility: Full-time, part-time, and PRN options available to support work-life balance
