Joseph Polizzi
Since leaving school I always had a desire to work within dentistry, I worked as a dental nurse within Gloucestershire for around 5 years. During my time as a dental nurse I found that I thoroughly enjoyed assisting the dental hygienist, I found periodontal disease fascinating and decided to further my career in dentistry and train as a dental hygienist!
I graduated from the University of Essex and gained my degree in Oral Health Science with distinction. My training was based in general dental practices within the Essex region which allowed me to gain and strengthen my skills with a wide range of patients from different background’s.
I was working as a dental nurse for 5 years within Gloucestershire, more recently as a Dental Hygienist I have been working across a few private practices.
I thoroughly enjoy being a part of patients journeys with improving their overall oral health, especially when they initially present as nervous patient’s. I enjoy treating each patient holistically and working together as a team to help maintain healthy smiles.
When not at work, you will most likely find that on travelling somewhere in the UK or abroad. My passion on life is travelling and seeing as much of the world as I can.
In the future I plan on focusing on my professional development as dentistry is always evolving with new and exciting techniques. I have an interest in studying further in topics such as diet and nutrition, smoking cessation and facial aesthetics.
