Dental Therapists
We are one of very few surgeries in this country to be able to offer the services of a dental therapist. Becky see patients on referral and is able to provide dental health education, carry out routine small fillings, extract primary teeth under local anaesthesia and carry out hygiene treatments. She is also able to apply materials such as fluoride and fissure sealants to teeth, take dental radiographs and carry out simple restorations. Hygienists
Fiona Power, Kay Jones. Lida Bassan and Ellie Kami are important members of
the team. As your gums are the 'foundations' of your teeth, your gums
must be strong and firm in order to maintain healthy teeth. The
hygienist's role is to advise and treat patients on all aspects of oral
hygiene and gum treatments. Your role in preventing dental disease is
as important as that of the Dental Team if not more.
Our support team at Putney Dentists consists of a Practice Manager who is
responsible for dealing with the smooth running of the practice
and with your queries. Our two receptionists are your first point of
contact and will arrange and remind you of your appointments. Our four
trained dental surgery assistants assist our dentists to ensure that
your treatment is comfortable and our cleaner and gardener ensures that
the place is cleaned and maintained to the highest standards. |
