Are there any stand out points in terms of where this practice is located?

Blueapple is situated in a small village on the cavan border. Across the bridge is celebrity Neven Magruire’s very well known restaurant called MacNean House. There’s also a scenic cottage meadow by the lake, just a one minute walk from our practice which is beautiful for lunch time walks or a picnic.

What words of advice or encouragement would you give to those looking to follow a career in dentistry?

Working in dentistry is extremely rewarding. If you are a caring and compassionate individual, you will have great job satisfaction working in a dental practice. To be part of a dental team you need to be willing to reassure anxious patients, take care of them during their treatment and have a passion for providing information on oral health. You will need to be willing to work as part of a team and be able to communicate effectively with the general public and team members.
