Oral health promotion is one of the fundamental responsibilities of the dental team; it’s an area I love!

Every single time I provide oral health information to a patient or a group, it scares me to see just how little many people know and understand about preventing oral diseases. But it delights me to see how useful I can be in educating them, answering questions and motivating people to take responsibility for their own mouths.

Dental Nurse Network is looking for more tutors, working flexible hours, to join the team. 

The work includes marking course work and/or teaching online classes which can be done outside of your normal working hours.

A career in dentistry wasn’t something I had ever considered. Initially, I wanted to be a surgeon or a police officer … I know two roles that are poles apart from each other. However, despite being classed as above average academically, there were too many shiny things that distracted me, and I didn’t achieve the grades required for either of those careers. 

MediCruit, a Henry Schein affiliate providing recruitment solutions to the dental sector, has teamed up with the Dental Nurse Network Academy, an organisation offering flexible, affordable, accredited training with high-quality learning material and student support to dental nurses.      

Through this partnership, MediCruit will offer two new courses to enable dental nurses and other professionals to achieve extended skills for their profession. 

In these difficult circumstances candidates need a good head start to get ahead of 

the pack. The NEBDN Fluoride Varnish is a qualification specially designed to help dental professionals develop vital skills so they can stand out from the crowd.

The aim of this course is to provide accredited training for registered dental nurses to become competent and confident in applying fluoride varnish under the prescription of a dentist or as part of a structured oral health programme.
