Laura Horton Treatment Coordinator London Course: Knowledge, laughs, prizes and inspiration all in a day’s work!
Laura Horton’s Treatment Coordinator Workshop is an interactive and exciting yet relaxed learning environment. Often people are scared to ask questions, people are afraid to look stupid but not here. On Friday 8th February, dental nurses and other dental professionals gathered at Henry Schein in Marble Arch, London to take part in the day’s events. Hands were up in the air every few minutes with inquisitive and excited members in the class.

Brains...experience...lots of qualifications?!
We tend to associate orthodontic treatment with modern life and recent cosmetic developments. However, what a lot of us don’t realise is that the concept and attempts of aligning teeth goes as far back as 600 B.C, that we know of at least. Several discoveries have been made where Egyptian mummies have actually been found with crude metal bands wrapped around individual teeth, indicating that the knowledge of using pressure to move teeth over a period of time, was present in the ancient times too.
For those of you who aren’t entirely familiar with orthodontics, the curiosity of how it all works and what orthodontic nursing actually involves may have crossed your mind at some point in your dental nursing career. You may find the prospect of assisting with another root canal treatment unbearably disheartening, you may want to expand your knowledge or simply fancy the idea of a slight diversion into a specialist field of dentistry.
