Jasmine began her dental nursing career in 2019 working in a busy NHS practice. Since then, she went on to qualify in 2021 and then moved into the world of private dentistry in her home place of Yorkshire.
Jasmine says: "Working with New Life Teeth is a step up in the dentistry world and I'm already excited for the future and the many teeth transformation journeys I'll have the pleasure of working on!
In my spare time I love spending time with my friends, exploring the city and movie nights with my housemates."
