dental nursing

hi! for context im currently in year 11 in the uk and i would love a career as a dental nurse but im unsure on how to get that, ive heard of apprenticeships and im currently looking into a dental school but i have no idea which one would be easier/better. my predicted grades for GCSE are also not the best but ive heard you can get into this career with mostly just replying on an english qualification but ive heard it varies depending on what type of place you apply too!

honestly any advice will be greatly appreciated as i have no clue on what im doing but i do know this is the career i want to have💗

I applied through Tempdent and on a Level 3 Dental Nursing course at the moment. They work with loads of practices so you can find one near you. The assessors are also really helpful and supportive.

Do you think it’s possible to find a 12 month dental nursing apprenticeship that I can complete in. My gap year? Ideally starting this September
