Hygienist: Mrs Alison Chapman

Hygienist: Mrs Harriet Buley-Snell

RDH
GDC number 238266

Our experienced and caring hygienists, Becky, Alison and Harriet, are able to provide a full range of treatments from cosmetic stain removal through to management and treatment of gum disease. The mouth is sometimes seen as a reflection on what is going on in other parts of the body and gum problems can sometimes be linked to diabetes and heart disease. They work closely with the dentists to ensure you receive the very best care, be that a cosmetic stain removal to make you feel great about your smile, through to treating gum disease. Patients are able to arrange to see our hygienists directly without seeing a dentist first, but it is recommended you make an appointment for a full Oral Health Assessment with the dentist also, so we can work together to provide what’s best for you.
