Getting to know our dental team - An interview with Trainee Dental Nurse Lexie...

What made you decide to do a Dental Nurse apprenticeship?

I wanted to be in a career that allows me to constantly learn and be able to help patients to gain confidence.

When did you join the Crossbank Dental Care team?

I have worked at Crossbank Dental Care since January 2024.

What has been the most challenging and enjoyable parts of your training?

The most challenging part of training is learning all dental terminology and that instruments can have more than one clinical name. The most enjoyable is constantly learning new things.

What are you planning to do in your professional future?

I plan to stay in dentistry and hopefully look at Implant Nursing/Treatment Coordination or possibly at a Hygiene/Therapy course.

What do you find most interesting about your job?

The anatomy of the human body and meeting new people.

If you had to swap jobs for one day in the practice, which job would you swap and why?

I would swap with an Implant Nurse because I find the surgical side of nursing interesting.
