"In a dental practice, I feel the core responsibilities of the dental nurse would include providing direct support with patient treatments, decontaminating the instruments and equipment, ensuring that all relevant materials and supplies are in place in the rooms, looking after patient records, including documenting when the dentist is examining a patient, working closely with the dentist, responding quickly to requests and generally keeping the surgery area ready for use. I would also be responsible for ensuring patients feel safe, secure, and comfortable throughout their visit or treatment and answering any questions or concerns they might have. I do have experience with all of these areas of responsibility and would feel comfortable performing these tasks in this role as well."
