‘Language barriers are a problem but, with my limited Arabic and some limited English from the patients – and a whole lot of charades – we manage to communicate.’
Dental nurse Sarah Jones is 45 and lives in Abu Dhabi and has been a dental nurse since she was 16, qualifying here in the UK.
She says: ‘Two days after I finished school, I was working full time as a dental nurse in the surgery where I had done a week of work experience. I started on £28 a week.’
Since then, Sarah has worked in many areas of dentistry, including special care dentistry, mental health, prison services, paediatrics, oral surgery, prosthodontics and periodontics.
