Kimberley (Kim) Poulton began her dental career in 2012 as a trainee dental nurse, gaining solid clinical experience before joining Marton Dental Practice in 2018. Since then, she has become a key part of the front-of-house team, helping to keep the practice running smoothly day in, day out.
Kim has a keen eye for detail and excellent organisational skills, which make her invaluable at reception—managing diaries, coordinating appointments, and making sure everything is in the right place at the right time. Whether she’s welcoming patients at the desk, answering calls, or supporting the clinical team, her dedication to patient care is always clear.
Her background as a dental nurse means she understands both the clinical and administrative sides of dentistry, allowing her to anticipate what patients and colleagues need and to keep things calm and well organised, even on the busiest days.
Outside of work, Kim loves spending quality time with her husband and daughter, creating cherished family memories. Her caring, down-to-earth nature at home is exactly the same quality patients experience when they walk through the door—another reason she’s such a valued member of the Marton Dental team.
