ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Naima. I am a dedicated and patient-centred Dental Associate with experience across NHS, mixed private, and urgent care settings. What motivates me most is the opportunity to build trust with patients, provide high-quality care, and help people feel comfortable and informed throughout their dental journey. I take pride in my calm, empathetic approach and in my ability to communicate clearly, especially with anxious or vulnerable patients.

What sets me apart is my adaptability and drive for continuous growth. Having worked in busy clinical environments and customer-facing roles before dentistry, I bring a strong blend of clinical skills, professionalism, and genuine interpersonal warmth. I integrate quickly into new teams, maintain high standards of record-keeping and organisation, and approach every clinical day with reliability and enthusiasm.

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy sports, travelling, exploring new food experiences, and spending time with family and friends. These interests keep me balanced, open-minded, and culturally aware, qualities that positively influence the way I interact with patients and colleagues.
