I am a leading dental hygienist/therapist in the UK, with a substantial professional reputation gained over many years through working in collaboration with dental leaders and organisations. I was awarded the coveted title of 'Hygienist of the Year' in 2007 which is recognition by dental leaders. I work with a number of national organisations and professional bodies to promote dental hygienists and therapists both at undergraduate and post-registration level. (General Dental Council, Faculty of General Dental Practice Royal College of Surgeons UK).

I am a regular contributor to dental journals, particularly the Dental Health Journal, which is the the Journal of the British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy. I have also contributed a chapter to the 2nd edition of The Clinical Textbook of Dental Hygiene and Therapy published in the Spring of 2012."

123 - Lasers in Dentistry pt 2 with Nicole Fortune Jun 09, 2018

Show notes

Episode 123 - Lasers in Dentistry pt 2 with Nicole Fortune

Interview begins at 6:45

In this episode we build upon our knowledge from last episode. Nicole shares her experiences with laser and their relation with implants. She also shares some of her thoughts on perioscopes and all of the other tools she gets to use. She is a wealth of knowledge and loves to share. You can find her in the Dental Implants Uncovered facebook group or email her at Nicky.F@hotmail.com She is available to speak at your next event!

She also wanted to be clear on one point. She messaged us later to add, "Hi again. I'm thinking back on your question if it matters more which laser you use or the operator. I'm not sure I answered well enough. Different lasers are better for different tasks. However the operator is a key factor. The right tool in the wrong hands could be a disaster." Thanks for the clarification Nicole!
