I am the principal dentist At A.G. Smiles, I have always wanted to have my own dental practice to be able to give my patients the highest quality of care. I have done further education in the last 17 years since qualifying in 2008, and I have a special interest in orthodontics, endodontics, and surgical procedures. With a holistic, professional, and compassionate approach, I strive to make sure you feel at ease and receive the best service possible.

My journey into the world of Dentistry began in 1995 when I started my training as a Dental Nurse at The Eastman Dental Hospital in London.
After qualifying as a Dental Nurse I stayed on at the Eastman Dental Hospital and worked in The Orthodontic Department.
I then took a break from Dentistry until 2004 when I was fortunate enough to be offered a place on the Dental Hygiene Course at The Eastman Dental Hospital.
I qualified in 2006 and was awarded The Carol Chivers Memorial Award on qualifying.
The award is given annually to the student that demonstrates the most desirable attributes in theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Since qualifying as a Dental Hygienist I have worked in a mixture of practices including NHS, Private, Specialist and General practices . I also did a locum contract for The Royal Navy in Plymouth which I enjoyed immensely.
I love treating a range of patients from the very nervous to the very frail. I am keen to continue to develop my skills and knowledge.
I have a keen interest in alternative therapies and I am a qualified Reflexologist, Reiki Master and Foot Health Practitioner.
In my free time I enjoy walking the dog on the beach and socialising with friends.
