Educating children

3 mins read Professionalism/career development
Cara Farrin discusses her passion for dental nursing and the importance of educating children in oral care.

How long have you been a dental nurse?

I have been a dental nurse for two years.

Why did you decide to become a dental nurse?

I was interested in working in dental hygiene at first, but after shadowing in a practice I liked the variety of the dental nurse job, so decided to do that instead! I had worked in catering for years but I was ready for something different that still worked with people, and I liked the idea of having more time to spend with people in this role.

What is your favourite thing about your job?

I love meeting all the different kinds of people, particularly nervous patients, and helping them to become more comfortable in the dental environment.
