Hygienist

CEB Cert in Dental Hygiene
GDC No. 1380

After qualification from Edinburgh Dental Hospital, valuable experience was gained working in a well-established, progressive mixed practice in Newcastle Upon Tyne where emphasis was on prevention of disease with hygienists at the heart of it.  I was one of 3 hygienists providing the equivalent of 2 full time, for 4 dentists. A forward-thinking ratio, providing good preventive dentistry.

Moving to Essex also brought a change in direction. Working in a practice which focused on NHS patients, but included the setting up of a pioneering preventive dental unit which was aimed at dental education and fluoridation for the younger patients.

This involvement with education has progressed and is now focused on working mainly with adult patients, and in particular those with implants or with periodontal disease, by using a holistic approach to solving their sometimes-complex dental challenges and help them to achieve the best results possible, with a personally tailored oral health regime.
