Nickie began her career as a dental nurse since 1987. She worked as head nurse in a practice in Hindhead, before qualifying as a hygienist in 1990. She has also enjoyed two years working as a dental health educator and as a dental hygienist in the army. Nickie is particularly good at working with nervous patients and has a very gentle touch! She prides herself on 'making patients smile again', especially if they have not had any previous hygiene treatment. She also enjoys periodontal work. In her spare time Nickie's passion is definitely equestrian and regularly competes in dressage competitions with her pure Spanish horse. She also enjoys acting as a judge at various dressage events and competing on her second horse, Manuel, who she rescued and is now an in-hand winner!
