Welcome to The Dental Chair! In this episode, host Marguerite Morgan, Founder & Director Irish Dental Jobs, takes a deep dive into some of the most pressing topics in Ireland’s dental sector. With 25 years recruitment experience in the Legal and Dental arena, Marguerite has a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing dental professionals today. Joining her for this insightful conversation are three special guests: her colleague Margaret Kierans, Head Dental Nurse of IDJ’s Temp Team Clare Lynch, and Brianna Hamnett, a dental nurse from Australia.
M&M share key findings from Irish Dental Jobs' latest salary guide, highlighting the differences between public and private sector pay for dental nurses. With public sector roles offering higher wages for experienced Dental Nurses and a structured pay scale, Marguerite and Margaret discuss the struggle for private practices to retain talent and how a more transparent, standardised approach could benefit everyone.
Clare Lynch, head nurse for Irish Dental Jobs' temp team, shares her journey as a temp nurse and why she loves the flexibility it offers. Temping, Clare says, has allowed her to gain diverse experience across multiple fields—orthodontics, oral surgery, and more—all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Her story is a great reminder of the many paths available in dental careers.
Lastly, we meet Brianna, a young dental nurse from Australia who recently moved to Ireland. Brianna talks about her experience adjusting to a new work culture, the ease of getting a working holiday visa, and the joys of balancing travel with work. Clare even offers her some valuable advice on managing nerves and adapting to new clinics.
Throughout the episode, Marguerite shares her vision of creating a supportive, transparent community within the Irish dental sector—one where salaries are fair, and relationships matter. If you’re a dental professional looking for insights on salaries, temping, or even working abroad, this episode is packed with valuable information.
