Pasang Tamang

Pasang started working with us at the end of 2016, joining us with no dental experience. Pasang enjoyed her work with a local care home, supporting the needs of her clients, but really felt a longing to gain a recognised qualification as a health care professional and had always thought looking in people’s mouths all day would be really interesting! So, she applied for the vacancy at Thorpe Lea Dental and was chuffed to bits when she was offered the position! With the support of the rest of the team, Pasang has moved from strength to strength.  

She gained her dental nurse qualification in 2018, and later qualified as an implant nurse, assisting Colin. She then decided she needed to do more, and most recently sat the BDA exam in radiography and passed! Not only is Pasang a super-dental nurse, she also works on reception, answering the telephone, and is our infection control lead, having achieved the level 2 certificate in Infection Prevention & Control in 2021. Part of her role is overseeing the decontamination safety checks that we perform daily, ensuring we are compliant in these areas. Pasang enjoys all aspects of her role, but her passion remains with helping people, and she thrives working alongside our dentists and supporting our patients in the dental surgery.
