Dental nursing
Dental nurses are dental care professionals, who work as
part of a team, supporting a dentist in all aspects of patient
care.
Dental nurses are involved in assisting in the full range of
dental treatment, including preparing and mixing materials, taking
notes for patient records, sterilising instruments and ensuring
patient comfort.
Qualified dental nurses can progress to specialise in a number
of areas, including dental radiography and oral health
education.
