Caring.
Dedicated to Prevention.

I am a passionate Dental Hygienist and Therapist with over 10 years of experience working in NHS, private and mixed dental practices.

My particular interest lies in the prevention, treatment and management of periodontal disease. I have worked under the supervision of a Specialist Periodontist using EMS Airflow technology and understand contemporary treatment pathways well.

I pride myself on building excellent relationships with patients and teams, adapting quickly to new environments and delivering consistently high standards of care. Patients frequently comment on my friendly, caring nature and my ability to explain treatment clearly and compassionately.

In addition to my dental qualifications, I hold training in wrinkle relaxation treatments using Botulinum Toxin and a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare. I also teach yoga.
