The dental nurse/assistant is the patient’s advocate.
Their part helping us deliver successful dentures cannot be overestimated.
This list of roles is not exhaustive but helps to highlight their importance;
• Patient comfort
• Patient relaxation
• Patient understanding
• Clinician understanding the patient
• Aesthetics
• Mixing impression materials
Claire (my nurse) translates what I say so that the patient fully understands the full nature of wearing dentures. In addition, the patients can be truly honest with the dental nurse regarding the function and appearance of the dentures.
