| | | | | | | | | Salary Scales
The IDNA currently does not endorse a specific salary scale for Dental Nurses. In general, in the experience of the Executive Committee of the IDNA, Dental Nurses employed in the private sector are remunerated at higher rates than Dental Nurses in equivalent positions employed in the public sector. | | | In the case of the latter, the salary scales recommended by the Department of Health and Children (effective 1st January 2011) are available to download at www.dohc.ie | | | | (The relevant information is on Page 5 of the document) | | |
