Linda is a registered dental hygienist and therapist and is currently working in three of the very best dental practices in the north of Manchester, including ours.

After completing A levels, she started a career in dentistry in 1997 as a dental nurse and oral health promoter. She quickly progressed onto taking a degree course at the University of Manchester where she qualified in 2004.

Since graduating, she has been working in general dental practice. As a hygienist, she loves helping patients by treating and maintaining a healthy smile. She has a good rapport with patients, and completes the team as an excellent and thorough hygiene therapist.

Linda keeps up to date with the latest techniques on how to treat gum disease and help nervous patients develop the confidence to have dental treatment. Patients are offered a needle-free injection prior to scaling as one of those techniques. Most cases vary from complex periodontal cases to regular monthly maintenance.

Jayne is our head nurse. She has a wealth of experience from working across the country and in the British Army. Jayne is a very friendly and caring person who always drums up a good rapport with our patients to put their mind at ease.

Janine is our head of reception. Dr Nulty has had the pleasure of knowing Janine for nearly thirty years and has worked with her for nearly ten years before starting Dentist On THE ROCK. Janine is the friendly face you meet when you first step into the practice, who always does her best to not only keep reception running smoothly, but to make sure the patients’ appointments and needs are met quickly.

Emma is our head decontamination nurse, but also works in surgery with Dr Nulty, and has done for many years. Just as with Janine and Jayne, Emma is fully-trained to nurse with implant placement and complex surgical procedures. Emma’s drive and enthusiasm are second to none and she helps bring all of our staff together as a team.
