Why Choose Cavity?

I joined Cavity as a Locum Dental Nurse in 2017. Prior to joining Cavity, I worked as a Dental Nurse for 13 years for both Private and Corporate companies. I trained as an Implant Nurse however would of much preferred Orthodontic Nursing.

Whilst working for Cavity, I have had the time to study for a Degree in Counselling Theory & Practice and a CIPD Diploma in Human Resource Practice, two areas which I have always been extremely interested in studying.

I have been delighted to accept the Head of Safeguarding & Welfare (Designated Safeguarding Lead) role within the Cavity team and work towards creating an open and transparent culture around Health & Wellbeing within the company.

Claire worked as a forensic investigator for 7 years and then worked within witness care where she supported victims and witnesses going to court.  She then worked in pastoral care for 4 years at a secondary school before working as an apprentice account manager for a training provider offering support as pastoral care and within safeguarding.

Claire loves supporting people and believes that our mental health is just as important as our physical health, and we should talk about it exactly the same. Claire and her partner have 4 daughters between them, who she is very proud of. Claire loves walking her dog and needs to go the gym more!!

Lauren joined Cavity in July 2016 working in the Head Office as a booking’s coordinator, handling all enquiries that came in for locum nurse cover. Over the last 7 years she has gained a rapport with both practices and nurses so when a new opportunity arose to help start up Cavity Training, she jumped at the chance. Her role within the Training Team is dealing with our course enquiries, recruitment, admin work for our already enrolled learners and working alongside the team training colleagues to ensure we provide the best Dental Nursing Courses for all our learners and clients.

When Lauren is not working, she creates bespoke celebration cakes which is her creative outlet! She also enjoy shopping, spending time with friends and family and after recently moving house… enjoying lots of DIY/ Home Improvements!

Louise began her dental nursing career towards the end of 2009 after completing her A-Levels and deciding to hold off on going to university, not knowing that this would lead to a career path that she is so passionate about. During her time as a dental nurse, she further developed her nursing skills in the following disciplines: Orthodontics, Periodontics, Oral Surgery, Advanced Dental Implantology, Endodontics, Restorative dentistry, Clinical Photography, supporting in PRGF
procedures, CADCAM technology and in house training on impression taking, becoming Implant Clinical lead.

She gained her Teaching and Training in Education qualification in 2021. She then became a Dental Nurse Tutor and taught the NEBDN Level three Diploma in Dental Nursing and teaching Master Students in Basic Clinical Photography, Implant Armamentarium and Aseptic techniques.

In late 2022 to 2024 Louise joined Birmingham Dental Hospital’s School of Dental Nursing on a fixed term as Dental Nurse Tutor and achieved her Level Three Assessors qualification. During her time here she lectured both Dental Nurse apprentices and Year One BDS students for induction.

Alongside tutoring, assessing and recruitment for the school she also enjoyed embarking on project
management.

“I thoroughly enjoy dentistry and I’m passionate about the contribution and importance of Dental Nurses within the field. I have found this to be a rewarding career and what was meant to be a steppingstone in 2009 has turned out to be a career of endless opportunities and fulfilment. I look
forward to further developing myself and helping to shape others to contribute to best care and practice in the field with patients’ best interest always at the heart of what we do.”

Vicky has worked in Dentistry for nearly 28 years as a nurse, receptionist, and practice manager and joined Cavity as a locum nurse in 2019 for some variety!

She quickly fell in love with the Health & Wellbeing side of the business and so trained with us a mental health first aider with a qualification from MHFA England as well as completing the Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace IOSH Qualification. Vicky supports all our students not only with our face to face health & wellbeing, but is also our safe guarding lead within the business. Having completed her CAVA and AET qualifications , she knows exactly what demands are on the student nurses she also teaches a small group herself helping her to keep up to date with all training requirements.

Vicky loves watching football, going away in her campervan for weekends or to festivals. Listening to music and playing the guitar. A food lover, she enjoys going out for meals and trying new places and foods.

I have been a dental nurse for 23 years and I love it just as much as the day I started if not more. I love being able to pass on my many years of wisdom and ways onto the younger folk. Which is why I joined the Cavity Training team. I love that my job role takes me into many different environments. Prisons and hospitals being my favourites.  With experience in everything from Sedation to Perio and Implants – I consider myself an extremely capable nurse completing my assessor and Tutor qualifications in 2022. Being a military wife I have moved around a lot. This included a 3 year posting to Cyprus which was amazing. Though this is the only time I didn’t nurse, I really missed it and could wait to get back into the surgery. I love being active and enjoy spinning and combat classes at the gym. I’m also a foodie and a feeder! I heal with food!
