Why dentistry?
I ‘fell into’ dental nursing. I was working in a job that I wasn’t enjoying and I wanted something more challenging and enjoyable, so I applied for the dental nurse job at Ghyllmount Dental Practice in Penrith, which I didn’t know much about – and 12 years and two children, later I’m still here and still enjoying it.
