Treatment coordinator Dorina Vulpe talks about the need to change patient perception of dentistry and why she will always be a dental nurse at heart

According to her LinkedIn page, treatment coordinator Dorina Vulpe is ‘an enthusiastic, reliable professional with excellent communication and organisational skills’.

Certainly her proactive approach to work is making a difference to the patients at the two Happy Kids Dental practices situated in London’s fashionable areas of Chelsea and Marylebone.

A problem solver with strong analytical skills, the 27-year-old former dental nurse, who qualified five years ago, has an eye for detail and it is her innovative ways of implementing new working practices that have improved efficiency for both sites that offer paediatric care to the capital’s kids.

As she says: ‘I am keen to learn and enjoy building on my existing strengths and experience and positive approach in order to further develop my career. I am currently studying for PRINCE2 certification. I love working with people and, because I had a negative dental experience in my childhood, I see this is an opportunity for me to make a difference and do the best I can to help people. I enjoy being part of a team and I very much enjoy the dental environment overall.’
