DENTAL NURSE SUCCESSES

SUCCESSFUL DENTAL NURSES

SmileWisdom Alumni celebrates Elizabeth

Meet Elizabeth, who chased her dream of working in Dentistry until it became a reality.

“I have been dreaming of working in Dentistry since I was a teenager. When I came to the UK after leaving my home country due to a humanitarian crisis, I decided to try to pursue my dream again. 

I initially signed up with a college that just took my money and didn’t provide me with a course. It was so disappointing and I was scared it would happen again. But then I found SmileWisdom and met Mike at the BDA (British Dental Association). He explained the whole course to me and even let me sit in on a part of a class with Dr Liz Moran.

“My dreams came true!

I got a job in a dental practice that I love and the team is so good. They really support their dental nurses to learn more skills


I saw how much Mike and Liz cared about their students and that Liz made learning enjoyable. And I knew that I wanted to be part of the students of SmileWisdom.

My experience with SmileWisdom was incredible! The support was amazing and both Becky and Magda were so helpful. 

Educating is the same as putting a motor on a boat… you must measure, weigh, find the balance… and get everything running, or put it into motion.

But in order to educate properly, you have to carry in your soul a bit of a sailor, a bit of a pirate and a bit of a poet, with a kilo of concentrated patience, and of course, lots of passion.

However, it is comforting to know that while SmileWisdom are educating me, “my boat” will go very far through the “dentistry water”, by learning from their wise words and taking it to distant ports, distant islands, distant people, and different patients.

One day “my boat of knowledge” will be working and educating patients in new places, but the SmilesWisdom flag will be always raised in my professional life honouring the teaching, the love, the opportunities, the support, and for the recognition they deserve.

I got a job in a dental practice that I love and the team is so good. They really support their dental nurses to learn more skills. 

And I want to continue learning by studying radiography, impression taking, implant nursing…I want to learn everything!
