Becoming an oral health educator

Following my previous article with Dental Nursing in which I detail my journey from dental nurse assessor to being the owner and director of the Dental Nursing Academy, I would like to shift the focus onto our Oral Health Education (BDA education certificate) course. The course will be delivered by Preetee Hylton, who also delivers the NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Principles and Practice of Dental Nursing on our behalf.

Oral health plays a crucial role in our overall well-being, and maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for a healthy and happy life. In the United Kingdom, there is a growing awareness of the importance of oral health, leading to an increased demand for qualified oral health educators. If you are passionate about promoting dental wellness and are considering a career in this field, this article will guide you through the steps to become an oral health educator in the UK.
