Lover of all things 80s, the only thing Sam knows better than dental is the lyrics to David Bowie's discography.

Jemma is one of our wonderful dental nurses. You may see Jemma in the surgery or at the reception, her smile and calm manner will put you at ease.
Jemma's kind heart is not only shown in her patient care, but in her love of animals, from possums to birds and everything in between.
