Getting through dental school is an experience few dentists would be keen to repeat. 

 

Spare a thought then for Shima Ghazi, who has qualified in dentistry three times in three countries.

 

In this episode, Sima recounts her journey from her home country Iran to study in India before making her way to the UK. 

 

And from a new home in Birmingham, Shima found herself starting over once again as she worked her way up the career ladder from dental therapy to general practice.
