Nash started the original Pennypot Dental Practice in Hythe and since then he has dedicated his time to train newly qualified dentists.

At the moment, Nash works at Pennypot Dental Hythe as well as managing his three new practices in Hawkinge, Deal and New Romney.
He worked at Kent & Canterbury Hospital Oral Surgery Department for one year to improve his skills in complicated extractions and has worked in the Specialist Unit of Mayday Hospital in Croydon, to improve his skills in advanced Restorative work.
Nash believes in continuous learning and he attends many courses to ensure Pennypot Dental is providing the highest standards of service and treatment to its patients in a safe environment. He has also recently completed courses in advanced smile design held by the country's leading dentists in the field.
Nash has a special interest in general dentistry, endodontics, restorative dentistry, full mouth reconstruction and sedation for nervous patients. He particularly enjoys providing cosmetic treatments such as smile design where the results can be life changing and improve patients’ confidence.
Outside dentistry, he enjoys spending any spare time with his wife and two young children. He likes to keep fit by running and he is a committee member for the Ashford Asian Society.
