National Dental Nurses Day is coming...

​The Society of British Dental Nurses (SBDN) has launched National Dental Nurses Day in honour of those dental nurses out there who are proud to be dental nurses.

Dental nurses are the largest body of dental professionals on the General Dental Council (GDC) register and yet have only been eligible to register since 2006 and then required to be on the GDC register since 2008. The first examination took place on 22 November 1943 – the Examination for Dental Nurses and Assistants – so what better day to celebrate dental nursing than this one?

The Society believes this national event serves as a recognition and celebration of dental nurses ‘underpinning our ethos of dental nurse education, learning, training and development’.

It is urging everyone to join them in shouting from the rooftops about the value of dental nurses and is also marking the occasion by staging an awards event.
