 Annie started her career in dentistry as a trainee dental nurse in 1987 and then went on to train as a dental hygienist, qualifying from Glasgow in 1993.
Annie loves to talk and firmly believes that it is important to find out about and treat the client, rather than looking at them as just another set of teeth.
Prevention is always better than cure and Annie’s greatest satisfaction comes from helping patients learn how to keep their gums and teeth free of disease so that they can enjoy healthy and happy smiles.
Outside of work Annie loves to travel with her partner Chris. In 2008 they travelled to Tanzania to see the work carried out by Bridge2Aid at their dental clinic in Mwanza a charity that they are both keen supporters of. |
 I qualified as a Dental Hygienist and Therapist with distinction in 2002 from Queen Mary and Westfields university.
I worked in Buckinghamshire after qualifying before moving to Cornwall 2 years ago.
At Dental World I work with a wide range of patients from children to adults and patients with special needs. I undertake a large spectrum of treatments including scale and polishes and restorations.
I regularly attend courses in dentistry to further my continuing professonal development.
In my spare time I enjoy walking my dog, reading, socialising and going on holiday |
 I started dental nursing in 1976 working in two other Cornish dental practices before joining Dental World.
I qualified as a Registered Dental Nurse in 2000 and went on to gain certificates in Oral Health Education and Dental Radiography in 2001.
I was lucky to secure the position as Grahams Dental Nurse at Dental World in April 2001 and have been here ever since.
When not at work I run a small-holding with my partner and also enjoy regular sessions at the gym, swimming, walking and have a passion for holidaying abroad! |
