Fast forward to today and we are extremely pleased that new candidates are applying in such great numbers to enter the profession, as dentists, dental nurses and hygienists and in vital practice administration roles. We believe dentistry is a vital and rewarding profession and the great news is that this message is obviously being carried through to the next generation of dental professionals. "
