  I'd like to become a dental nurse, but I'm not quite sure about the requirements. Can somebody help me with this?

    You’ll need to take a dental nursing course approved by the GDC and also register with them (GDC)

      Yes, and while you’re doing your course you have the opportunity to work as a trainee in a dental practice, though you can also not do this and study full time. It’s up to you.

        That sounds great. And have you any idea of what the wages might be? I’ve heard they can be somewhere around 14k.

          Pretty much, I’d say 10 to 18k to start with

• Can I work as a dental nurse without experience? Audrey Last updated by Humera: 31-Dec-2016

  In one job description I've read that you can become dental nurse even if you don't have experience. Is it true? They mean experience in medicine at all?

• How to calm down a child if you are a dental nurse? Summer Last updated by Humera: 31-Dec-2016

  I want to change my work place for children's stomatology. I think it is very specific. And almost all children are scared. They can cry and resist. What is the most typical to calm them? Or maybe not typical but works?

    Always smile and be very polite to them.
