Gemma began her journey as a dental nurse 7 years ago and has worked in both NHS and private dental practices. She is currently practicing at the Dental Implant Clinic, in Bath, alongside Amy. Throughout her career, she has broadened her knowledge by gaining her Dental Radiography for DCPs and implant nursing qualifications and is currently studying dental sedation nursing.
