Jinnie achieves her ‘Certificate in Dental Radiography’

We are delighted to announce that our lovely dental nurse, Jinnie, has been awarded the ‘BDA Certificate in Dental Radiography’ qualification.

Jinnie joined the team in 2021 as a qualified dental nurse, and it was her ambition to become a dental radiographer. A qualified dental nurse who holds the Certificate in Dental Radiography is able to take intra-oral and extra-oral X-rays of patients, under the prescription of a dentist.

X-rays help our dentists to find problems early on, so that they can be treated before they get worse. Although a tooth may look healthy on the outside, tooth decay can often be present in between teeth or under fillings, which is not always possible to detect on a visual inspection. X-rays can also be used to identify infections in the root, missing bone around the teeth, the condition of wisdom teeth and to detect the growth of adult teeth in children.

Jinnie has been working incredibly hard over the last 7 months to achieve this additional dental nursing qualification. We are all incredibly proud of Jinnie’s success, and for her ongoing dedication to both the practice and the team!

Well done Jinnie from all at PDC!!
