About Mason Dental
Mason Dental is a patient-focused general dental practice in Bay City, MI, led by Dr. Chelsea Mason. Great dentistry starts with a calm, well-run office and a team that looks out for one another and for every patient who walks through the door. We’re a smaller practice, so your work is visible, your ideas are heard, and you’re never just a number.
This isn’t just another assisting job. You’ll be our OSHA & Compliance Lead — owning the systems that keep our office safe, clean, and inspection-ready. If you take pride in a compliant operatory, you’ll thrive here. Newer to compliance? If your infection-control instincts are strong, we’ll help you grow into it.
What You’ll Do
Chairside & clinical support
- Assist Dr. Mason during general and restorative procedures with smooth four-handed dentistry
- Prepare and break down operatories between patients, following strict infection-control protocols
- Take and process digital dental radiographs (X-rays)
- Perform expanded functions allowed under your Michigan RDA registration
- Take impressions, pour models, and prepare materials
- Provide post-operative instructions and put nervous patients at ease
- Maintain accurate charting in our practice-management software (Eaglesoft a plus)
- Run, monitor, and log sterilization cycles
OSHA & compliance leadership
- Serve as the practice’s point person for OSHA compliance
- Lead and document bloodborne-pathogens and hazard-communication training
- Maintain the exposure control plan, OSHA records, and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
- Oversee infection control and sterilization monitoring, including spore testing logs
- Manage PPE inventory and keep us audit- and inspection-ready year round
- Help onboard and train new team members on safety procedures
What We’re Looking For
Required
- Active Michigan Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) registration in good standing
- Dental radiography certification
- Current CPR / BLS certification
- Solid knowledge of OSHA standards and dental infection-control protocols
- Strong chairside and four-handed dentistry skills
- Dependable, organized, detail-oriented, and warm with patients and teammates
Nice to have
- Experience with Eaglesoft practice-management software
- Prior OSHA / compliance experience in a dental setting
- Expanded-functions experience under Michigan RDA scope
- Comfort with digital X-ray and intraoral imaging
Why Join Mason Dental
- A close-knit team where your work genuinely matters
- A real leadership role in safety and compliance — not just another assisting job
- A steady Monday–Thursday schedule and a supportive doctor who values your input
- Benefits: health insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, dental coverage, 401(k) retirement, continuing-education support, and a uniform allowance
