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.
Have you ever wondered where your nurse is going when you see her dashing off with a box in her hands?
She's taking the dirty instruments to our dedicated decontamination room where they will be thoroughly cleaned and sterilised in accordance with the Department of Health HTM0-105 guidelines we adhere to.
With Christmas just a few days away, we are all getting ready to enjoy the festivities. At this time of year, it is difficult to abstain from the sugary treats that seem to be everywhere. One of the major enjoyments is sharing food and drink with family and friends.

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the UK. It’s a fast and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile.
The single most important thing to remember when looking for teeth whitening treatment is that it must, by law, only be carried out by a dentist, or a hygienist on a dentist’s prescription.
Halloween is just around the corner and children across the country are getting ready to dress up in spooky costumes and stockpile bags of sweets accumulated on trick or treat missions!! What is a great night for children could be a ghastly one for their teeth!
