Rebecca Harman RDH – Dental Nurse

Dip Dent Hygiene Kings College 2002
GDC: 6020

I started my career in 1988 as a dental nurse. After working with many dentists covering most specialised areas of dentistry decided to take the leap and become a dental hygienist, qualifying from Kings in 2002. Since qualifying I have undertaken further extensive training in areas such as implant maintenance to provide the best care I can to my patients.

I joined Brightlingsea Dental & Facial Aesthetics Clinic in 2019 where I am building a steady list of regular patients and feel I have settled in well.

I also enjoy using my skills to aid charities and have been involved with ‘Crisis at Christmas’ and ‘Bridge2Aid’ in Tanzania.

In my spare time I enjoy going for long walks with my dog Bailey, cycling and love skiing in the winter months.
