Nigthshift Education Hub
Our Vision
Education exists.
It’s simply difficult to find.
Dental technicians are expected to search multiple websites, social media platforms and manufacturers to find quality education.
We’re changing that.
The Nightshift Education Hub will become the profession’s central learning platform — a trusted place where technicians can discover education, develop new skills and connect with leading educators.
Our vision is simple:
If a dental technician wants to learn, Nightshift should be the first
place they go.

Meet the Team

Nina Frketin
Founder
A Croatian dental technician who’s spent the last 15 years in the UK perfecting work most people never notice — and learning what that invisibility costs.
I mentor, teach, write, and speak internationally — not because I chased titles, but because this craft deserves better visibility, fairer value, and healthier people.
Award-winning, outspoken, and deeply committed to the technicians behind every smile — especially when no one’s looking.
