Lauren Knox

Hi, I’m Lauren, the Smile Advisors here at Tooth Doctor.
I’ve been part of the Pain Free Group for over eight years, bringing with me more than a decade of experience in dental nursing.
I started my journey with the group as an implant dental nurse before transitioning into my current role as a Smile Advisor. During my time here, I’ve received training in implants, sedation, and Invisalign.
Outside of work, I enjoy relaxing at home with my partner and our cats, Luna & Leo—but I also love dining out and treating myself to a good cocktail!
Amber Jones

I started working in Dentistry in 2016 and started working at the Pain Free Dentistry Group in January 2017. I qualified as a dental nurse in 2017 and started as a dental nurse within our group.
I moved role to Treatment Coordinator in 2018 for the Pain Free Dentistry Group. This has been one of the best things I have ever done, building relationships with patients and finding out about the emotional side from the beginning and growing with the patients along their journey in the practice is fantastic.
In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with family and friends. We like to travel when we can and try to relax visiting places like Italy, Croatia and France.

Hi I’m Aimee I started here at Tooth Doctor as a trainee Dental Nurse. At The Tooth Doctor, I work alongside Sofia to provide patients with high quality care aimed at improving their smiles, relieving pain and delivering cosmetic and aesthetic treatments.

I enjoy every aspect of dental nursing, but my favourite part is seeing the positive difference a new smile can make to a patient’s confidence and wellbeing. I also find it especially rewarding to help patients overcome their anxiety about visiting the dental practice.
Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my friends, spending time in the gym and also spending time with my family and dogs.
