Here are some ideas to get you started: Hand out goodie bags. Of...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I suppose I’m a bit late in saying that now! How's everybody getting on with their New Year Resolutions? I would like to say I've stuck to mine this year but they've already gone out the window, that piece of cake was definitely worth it! I don’t know about you, but it seems to me like Christmas was forever ago. If, like me, you...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
2019 Thank you for being the best year yet! As we approach the end of another year, it seems a good time to reflect on the year that has passed. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to each and every person that works for Cavity Dental Staff Agency. Without you and without all the hard work you put in every day, we wouldn't have this great company. To my Dental Nurses in the field,...
How to become a Locum Dental Nurse
Do you ever have that fed up feeling where you don’t want to get out of bed to go to work? Have you ever considered becoming a locum dental nurse? With a different place to visit each day and new people to see that fed up feeling will be a thing of the past. Locums often go in and save the day and so there is no greater feeling of appreciation. And did I mention that agencies pay more...

My Story I grew up in Egham, which used...
Struggling with a bad back?

We have been in talks with Daryl Browne, who has an MSc in Exercise Science, and comes with over 15 years’ experience. He passionately believes in addressing posture imbalances and core stability and has helped numerous individuals recover from poor shoulder,...
Get to know Sharon – the mastermind behind Cavity.

We sat down with the mastermind behind Cavity and got answers to all the questions you have been dying to ask. Q:...
Meet Our Area Manager, Nicola
Hi, I’m Nicola and I am one of the Area Managers at Cavity Dental Staff . I started working for Cavity in September 2006!!! I came on board as a Locum Dental Nurse 2 months after Cavity was established, having worked with Sharon previously in a Dental Practice. Of course, at that point, the Company was a fraction of the size. It’s quite incredible just how far we have come in the last...
Has Enhanced CPD Benefited Dental Nurses?
Last year, the GDC introduced enhanced CPD so that we can get the maximum benefit from our training and CPD activities. We had our core topics which we needed to complete. These kept us up to date with Safeguarding, Medical Emergencies and Cross Infection just to name a few, and these did benefit us and our patients. But there has been a change… The GDC have now stated that they want our...
