Dental Nurse at Neuro Head and Neck Center

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for research and innovation to yield results.

At the Neuro Head and Neck Center (NHHC), approximately 650 people work today with various aspects of investigation, treatment, and rehabilitation of diseases and injuries to the nervous system, brain, ears, nose, throat, and maxillofacial surgery. The center is a regional clinic where highly specialized care is provided for patients from the entire northern healthcare area, and also conducts research, education, and development.

The maxillofacial surgery department regularly collaborates with other medical specialties in connection with surgery for head and neck tumors, as well as for cleft lip, jaw, and palate, and for complicated facial fractures/neurocranial injuries. We perform all types of surgical procedures and investigations related to maxillofacial care. For inpatient care, we have beds in the Ear, Nose, Throat, and Maxillofacial Surgery Department where we have our own care responsibility. The maxillofacial surgery department also has a very close collaboration with other dental specialties located in close proximity to the clinic. Our referrers are found both within general dental care and private dental care.

We have regular therapy discussions and exchanges with other maxillofacial surgical clinics in the northern region. In collaboration with the Department of Dentistry at the Medical Faculty, we conduct basic training for dental students as well as further education for dental nurses in the subject. Clinical supervision is included as a mandatory part of the clinical service for all staff. The department has been conducting research in reconstructive maxillofacial surgery for many years.

The development and quality work primarily concerns digital treatment planning in implant surgery, orthognathic surgery, and reconstructive surgery. We have three specialists in maxillofacial surgery, including one university lecturer, one assistant lecturer/ST dentist, two additional ST dentists, one general dentist, nine dental nurses, one nurse, one dental assistant, and one medical secretary. We staff the maxillofacial surgery on-call service around the clock, every day of the week throughout the year.
