Position Summary

Our Impact
At Tri-County Dental, we believe everyone deserves access to quality dental care, regardless of their household income or dental insurance status. Many of the children and families we serve would otherwise go without care.

- Maintain eligibility to operate clinic vehicles under insurance guidelines
