DENTAL OFFICER

Overview

Being a Dental Officer in the Royal Navy means using your skills outside the confines of a civilian surgery and taking charge of the primary dental healthcare for an entire ship’s company. If it sounds like a massive task, that’s because it is, but you’ll have the support of a dedicated team, including a Dental Hygienist and a Dental Nurse.

Together, you’ll make a vital contribution to the wellbeing of the people who protect Royal Navy's nation’s interests, every day. And you’ll do it all over the world, from the shore bases in the UK to warships in the Caribbean.
