Looksee Chairside Education Days
Clinical Guidance & Confidence for Your Untrained Dental Nurses
Dental nurses are the backbone of every clinic.
When your team feels unsure, under-trained, or overwhelmed, it affects workflow, infection control, clinician wellbeing, and patient experience.
Looksee Dental Education provides structured in-clinic educational days designed to support and guide untrained or on-the-job dental nurses building real clinical confidence inside your practice environment.
Delivered by Pamela Holmes, AHPRA Registered Dental Therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, this service brings practical, real-world knowledge directly into your surgery.
What This Is
A tailored educational day focused on:
✔ Infection control fundamentals and safe clinical habits
✔ Chairside assisting flow and instrument transfer
✔ Effective suction and four-handed dentistry principles
✔ Surgery setup and pack down systems
✔ Environmental cleaning (high-to-low protocols, dam dusting)
✔ Correct gloving, de-gloving and aseptic awareness
✔ Communication within a fast-paced clinic
✔ Supporting nervous children using Tell-Show-Do principles, BUILD your children’s preventative department
✔ Developing professional confidence under clinical pressure
This is hands-on learning inside your own clinical environment, not generic theory.
Why It Matters
Australia is facing workforce shortages. Many clinics are training staff on the job.
That’s not the problem.
The problem is leaving them unsupported.
Untrained staff without guidance can:
• Slow procedures
• Increase clinician fatigue
• Feel overwhelmed and anxious
• Create unnecessary infection control risk
Confident, guided staff:
• Improve efficiency
• Protect your standards
• Strengthen patient trust
• Support clinicians properly
• Stay longer
Confidence leads to clinical efficiency.
Clinical efficiency leads to a thriving practice.
Important Clarification
This service is a professional development and educational program.
It is not a nationally recognised qualification and does not replace Certificate III in Dental Assisting or other accredited training.
However, it provides structured clinical guidance that:
• Strengthens foundational skills
• Improves daily workflow
• Supports safe practice habits
• Leads the way toward better clinical effectiveness when staff feel confident and supported
This is practical mentorship, not classroom theory.
