What is a traveling RDA?

Traveling RDAs, or Traveling Registered Dental Assistants, are dental professionals who work on a temporary or contract basis at various dental offices, often filling in for staff shortages or providing specialized assistance. They have the same qualifications as traditional RDAs but travel between different practices, sometimes within a city or across regions. This role offers flexibility, variety in work environments, and the opportunity to gain diverse experience. Traveling RDAs are essential for maintaining continuity of care in dental practices facing short-term staffing needs.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a traveling RDA?

To thrive as a Traveling RDA, you need formal dental assisting education, current state RDA certification, and thorough knowledge of dental procedures and infection control protocols. Familiarity with dental radiography equipment, digital charting systems, and sterilization tools is typically required. Strong organizational skills, flexibility, and effective communication are vital soft skills for adapting to different dental offices and patient needs. These abilities ensure seamless patient care, efficiency, and professionalism across varied clinical environments.

What unique challenges does a traveling RDA face compared to a stationary dental assistant?

As a Traveling Registered Dental Assistant (RDA), you'll often work in multiple dental offices or clinics, which can present challenges such as adapting quickly to different team dynamics, office protocols, and equipment. Flexibility and strong communication skills are essential, as you'll need to coordinate with various dentists and staff members to ensure seamless patient care. Additionally, frequent travel means managing your schedule efficiently and staying organized with documentation and supplies. Despite these challenges, many Traveling RDAs find the variety and opportunity to learn from different environments rewarding.

What We're Looking For (Qualifications)
  • Licensure: Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) license required.
  • Experience: Prior experience in dental assisting or orthodontics is highly preferred, but motivated RDA candidates eager to learn and grow in orthodontics are encouraged to apply!
  • Communication Skills: Top-notch interpersonal skills that make patients and teammates feel instantly at home.
  • Mindset: High energy, strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a deep alignment with mission-driven patient care.
  • Safety & Compliance: This position is safety-sensitive; successful completion of a pre-employment drug screen is required.
Perks & Benefits That Help You Thrive
  • Competitive Wage: $22.00 – $25.00 per hour (commensurate with experience).
  • Time to Recharge: Paid Time Off (PTO) + 6 Paid Holidays each year.
  • Healthcare Package: Choose from 5 Medical plans, plus comprehensive Dental and Vision coverage.
