On the cusp
I can’t quite believe we’re on the cusp of October – it feels like only yesterday that I was flying home from Thailand with my broken arm in a sling.
Thanks so much to everyone who’s sent me well wishes; the op went well, and I’m hoping to be back doing what I love (helping people with their smiles!) early next year
In the meantime though, the world has kept turning, and the practice has been busier than ever – here’s what’s been going on in September:
First up, Ronit’s delightful son Kai came in for his first dental checkup. It was great to welcome him, and great that he’s starting young!
Remember, as soon as your child has teeth, it’s good to get them into the habit of regular dental checkups, so please feel free to book them an appointment – we’re expert at making sure the experience is pain-free and fun!
Next, we were so pleased to celebrate our dentist Paarth’s seven-year Brightside anniversary. Paarth is a critical part of the Brightside team, and we’re grateful for his service over the last seven years – roll on the next seven!
While we’re on anniversaries, we also celebrated our dental nurse Taja’s two years with us – again, Taja is a bright spark that enables our whole team to shine as brightly as we do, so thank you, Taja.
And finally, I wanted to share some words from Alina, our receptionist, about what it’s like to work for Brightside:
“I joined Brightside Dental as a receptionist because I’ve always had a passion for working with people and making a positive impact on their day. Previously, I worked on cruise ships and it was there that I discovered how much I enjoy helping others. Whether it was an assisting them with providing information or simply greeting them with a smile, I found real fulfillment in knowing that I could make someone’s experience a little better.
When I came across the opportunity at Brightside Dental, it seemed like the perfect fit for me. From the very first day, I was struck by how welcoming and supportive the environment was. The team here is truly amazing—everyone is not only professional but also incredibly friendly. It’s inspiring to be surrounded by such skilled individuals who are passionate about what they do, and it makes coming to work every day a pleasure.
One of the things I love most about being a receptionist at Brightside is the sense of teamwork. We work seamlessly together, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care. It’s rewarding to be part of a practice where professionalism and kindness go hand in hand. Whether it’s helping a patient book an appointment or reassuring them before a procedure, I love that my role allows me to connect with people and help them feel comfortable.
Overall, Brightside feels like a second home. I’m proud to be part of such a dedicated and caring team, and I look forward to growing and learning here every day.”
Heartwarming stuff, and absolutely reflective of the Brightside ethos – the feeling’s mutual, Alina!
