As a Dental Nurse you'll play your part in keeping soldiers well so that they can do their jobs. You'll care for patients, prepare equipment and sterilise instruments. You'll also move practices every few years and be a highly skilled soldier. You study dental nursing at Defence Medical Services (DMS) Whittington in Lichfield for 15 weeks. The course covers anatomy, physiology, surgery and infection control. You also learn to prepare dental materials, give advice on disease prevention and process X-rays. It all prepares you to sit your National Diploma in Dental Nursing exam, a recognised civilian qualification. If you are already a registered Dental Nurse, you will complete a one-day transitioning course at DMS Whittington.
