Welsh dental nurse retires after 50-year career

2 mins read People profiles
Swansea Bay’s oldest registered dental nurse has retired after a career spanning more than five decades.

Angela Warlow, 68, is the health board’s oldest registered dental nurse. Her role within dentistry began in 1973, when she secured a job as a dental nurse at Mansel Street Practice.

Angela said, “I remember on my first day the dentist had me assisting him with surgical extractions on people coming off the ships in the docks, so I was really thrown in the deep end.

“I worked there for a few months as a dental nurse and then found a job in Port Talbot working in a general dental practice, where I stayed until 1977. I then had a job working in the community dental service in Neath and that’s where I met my husband.”
