Nothing but the tooth

About Demi-Leigh Paintain

My name is Demi Leigh Paintain (Dem) for short, I am new to the practice and I have been qualified for over a year gaining a Level 3 Diploma in Dental Nursing with City and Guilds.

I am excited to be joining NBTT dental practice and meeting all the patients.

I will be a helping hand for all nervous patients; I will help your dental phobia and be a hand to hold when needed.

I hope to progress my experience with doing further courses such as radiography and oral health.

I have a passion for going to the gym, socialising with friends and spending a lot of time with family. I love going on holiday and I can’t wait to share my experiences with everyone.

About Amy Steadman

Hi, I’m Amy! I always knew I wanted to be a nurse, so when I saw the advertisement at Birmingham Dental Hospital for trainee Dental Nurses I jumped at the opportunity. Whilst I was training I fell in love with being able to help people improve their dental health.

If you’ve been coming to Nothing But The Tooth for a while you will know that the distinctive laugh belongs to me; I love making people feel more relaxed when they come to the dentist as I know for many people this can be very nerve-wracking. Outside of work I like to spend time with my Cocker Spaniel, Ziggy who is my absolute world. If I’m not out trekking in Sutton Park with him you’ll find me at home listening to music or even playing my guitar.

About Cara Gibson

Unlike my daughter, who has been adamant she’s going to be a teacher since the moment she could speak, I’ve always been unsure which way my career path would take me… but here I am and I love being a Dental Nurse. I often get messages from friends and family asking for dental advice, which I relish as dentistry is a topic I know lots about. The only time most of us are taught about our oral health is when we come to the dentist, so I am a firm advocate of coming for regular checks.

I am a real chatterbox, so I’ll be the nurse who is trying to talk to you about your holiday whilst the dentist is about to start a healthy mouth assessment.

Outside of work, when I’m not fulfilling my ‘mom’ duties, you may often see me with my head in a book- the gorier the better.
