A day in the life of a dental nurse

A dental nurse's responsibilities are complex and we thought you might like to know what their day involves.

Our day starts with making tea, most importantly caffeine fuels a nurse. We then start setting up our surgeries obviously washing our hands first using the correct hand washing techniques which are displayed around the practice. We start by turning on all the equipment and making sure it's in full working order.
