The opportunity of a lifetime!

Especially in the current climate, some dental nurses may be considering their future more seriously than ever. Ambitious dental nurses may be wondering about the long-term, their career progression and the available rewards. If you are a one of these, you may have friends who side-stepped into practice management or patient co-ordinator roles, or took the dental hygienist/dental therapist clinical route. If you’re a principal dentist, maybe you supported a much-valued colleague on one of these pathways.

But there will also be dental nurses who love their job, are determined to remain in their role, yet want to offer their team and patients more than they can now. If this sounds like you, ensure you have an employer who knows, and is willing to help you achieve your goal. Tell them you want to build on your skills and knowledge, and wish to take your role to a new level without diversifying too far from the fundamentals of what makes a great dental nurse. If they decide to invest in you, the benefits to both practice and patients will be significant, and ongoing.
