Hear From a Colleague:

Hear from Nilly, one of our Qualified Dental Nurses, about her journey with Rodericks Dental Partners:

“My experience working with Rodericks Dental Partners has been both rewarding and enriching. I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside a supportive and professional team, which has helped me grow both personally and professionally. I have enjoyed the patient interaction and the variety of treatment we assist with. Being able to support patients throughout their dental journey, especially those who may be anxious and nervous, and seeing their confidence grow after treatment is incredibly rewarding. I’ve gained valuable clinical skills, built a lot of confidence, and developed stronger communication skills, especially when supporting nervous patients. Overall, I have felt supported by my approachable colleagues, and I’ve become more independent and resourceful in my role. One moment that stood out to me was helping a very anxious patient who hadn’t seen a dentist in years; by the end of the appointment, they were visibly more relaxed and thanked me personally for making the experience easier. It reminded me how much of a difference we can make, not just through clinical work, but through empathy and support.”
— Nilly, Qualified Dental Nurse
