✨ Episode 7 is now live! ✨
This week I’m joined by the amazing Vicki Griffiths, a dental therapist whose career has honestly been one of the most inspiring we’ve featured so far. From making the most of her scope as a dental nurse to carving out her niche in dental therapy, Vicki’s story is full of insight, honesty, and plenty of motivation for anyone in the dental world.
We get into:
🦷 The incredible scope of practice for dental nurses
📄 Applying for dental therapy
💬 Tips for supporting patients with additional needs
🎯 Finding your niche
🤝 BSDHT and community in dentistry
📱 Navigating social media as a dental professional
This was such a fun conversation — I learned so much, laughed a lot, and honestly left feeling a bit like I’d had therapy myself. A huge thank you to Vicki for being so open and generous with her experiences.
And of course, massive thanks to our sponsors Dürr Dental, DMI, and The ICE Dental Institute in Manchester for hosting us for this episode!
