Known to her friends and colleagues as Nora, Dr Nurten Poplavska has been passionate about caring for children since the beginning of her dental career. After graduating in 2007, she began working in the Paediatric Dental Department of a multidisciplinary dental polyclinic, where she worked alongside experienced oral surgeons, anaesthetists and paediatric dental specialists. In 2023, she established her own private paediatric dental practice, caring for children and their families before moving to the UK with her family.

Dr Nora believes that every child deserves to leave the dental chair with a smile and that “I love going to the dentist” can become a reality through trust, kindness and positive experiences. Her philosophy centres on prevention, minimally invasive dentistry and helping children build confidence while developing healthy habits that last a lifetime.

She is committed to continuing professional development and has a particular interest in paediatric dentistry and aesthetic restorations.

Dr Nora is delighted to be part of the Toothbeary team and feels privileged to work alongside the entire team, whose professionalism, compassion and dedication inspire her every day.
