The next step…

Let me begin by giving you a little background about myself. Let us rewind to my end-of-school days.I left school not knowing which career path to take, and was torn between a career in travel and something I could do to help people in a medical setting. I applied for an apprenticeship in my local town as a trainee dental nurse, which is where my journey into dentistry began.

I qualified in 1999, gaining my national certificate in dental nursing. I then worked in several private and NHS practices, both of which gave me some brilliant experiences, including working with specialist dentists and learning a lot. I would recommend that any dental nurse should try and gain as much experience in different areas of dentistry as possible, as there is so much to learn, and this will also help you to decide which areas you may pursue in your future too.
