Dental Nursing

Dental nursing is part of the dental team.  They usually work by supporting the dentist in all aspects of patient care: getting the appropriate instruments ready, mixing materials and ensuring patient comfort. In addition, dental nurses note dentists’ dictation as well as keeping the area after surgery clean and sterilising all of the instruments. Meanwhile, dental nurses also do some reception work including making appointments, taking payments, dealing with paperwork and meeting and reassuring patients. Lastly, dental nurses can also be employed in general practice, hospitals, or the community dental services as well as in the armed forces.
