Due to the effects of Covid-19 or coronavirus on dental practices, DNN is offering a free six-month extension on the completion of record of competence assessments and IPC lead assessments to all students who started any DNN certificate course* between January 2020 - June 2020. 

As practices start to reopen after the Covid-19 lockdown, teams are finding new ‘normals’ and are learning to work in different ways to get practices up and running again. We spoke with Adam, a dental hygienist and therapist, who has had a change of role following lockdown to help his practice get back on track.

With dental practices re-openning, there is likely to be a huge backlog of patients who are going to have their dental appointments delayed and rescheduled over the coming weeks and months. It is now more important than ever to keep the public and our patients informed on how to maintain good oral hygiene.

Although we are in very uncertain times, at DNN we feel it is even more important than ever to remember why we are in the dental care profession. For this month's Inspiration Q&A, we have interviewed Sarah, our new Oral Health Educator Assessor.
