Bart Merz

Next up is dental nurse, Bart!

We were lucky enough to welcome Bart to our shores 17 years ago, when following his graduation as a Dental Hygienist in 2006, he and his family swapped Poland for Cavan Town, and the rest is history!

Bart’s successful completion of the Dental Nursing course in Cavan Institute prepared him to support a multi-disciplinary dental team, and his first post as a Ward Clerk in Cavan General Hospital provided him with the experience needed to help, comfort, and take care of patients and families in all manner of distress. Bart’s patients were sad to see him go when, after 12 years in Cavan as a Dental Nurse, he took the plunge and moved to Dublin for the opportunities to challenge and expand his skills and training – and for the thrills of the big city!

From the very beginning and his first post as a Dental Nurse, Bart has assisted in the widest variety of dental procedures, and over the course of his career has worked with over 40 different dentists, immersing him in an extensive, diverse, and ever-developing learning and training environment. His well-earned confidence through many years of dedicated experience has cemented Bart’s place on the Truly Dental team as an invaluable part of our state-of-the-art practice, and a beloved member of our family.

Bart has always been popular with his patients and co-workers alike, enjoying his natural talent of being able to make anyone relax and laugh – even putting those preparing to undergo a surgical procedure at ease with his warm, calming wit. Bart found his calling when he became a Dental Nurse, and if you ask him now he simply can’t imagine ever doing anything else!

Bart believes that ‘Professionalism with a smile and laugh’ are words to live by, but when he can tear himself away from work and investigating pharmacology research, he takes advantage of the beautiful city he’s made his home, and can be seen out walking his bulldog, or hitting the town with friends!
