Beauty and the dentist

The new holistic treatments are all part of Wycherley’s Dental Practice’s focus on patient care, encouraging people to relax and not be scared about visiting the dentist.

The treatments, which will range from massages to facials, are carried out by beautician Frankie Trumper on Tuesdays and Saturdays at the Newport High Street practice.

Miss Trumper started work at the practice in March 2012, aged 17, and is undergoing rigorous training as a dental nurse. In September, she started her NEBDN Diploma in Dental Nursing.

“When Frankie joined Wycherley’s, she was also part way through her first year of a beauty therapy course so she was encouraged to continue with this alongside undertaking her dental nurse qualification,” said practice owner Ashok Jakhu.

“Since starting at Wycherley’s, Frankie has shown commitment to the job and impressed me with her attitude and work ethic.”

Miss Trumper completed her Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Beauty Therapy in June and will sit exams for her Diploma in Dental Nursing in July.
