 Hi, I’m Sandra, a trainee dental nurse and a friendly face here at the clinic! I really enjoy making our patients feel comfortable and welcome especially our little ones. I have a big soft spot for children and love helping them feel happy and confident when visiting the dentist even if it takes a few stickers and a little bit of encouragement!

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and most importantly having a good laugh. I’m excited to continue learning and growing as a dental nurse while helping make every patient’s visit a positive one.
