When Janet qualified as one of the first Dental Therapists in the UK in 1980 she was awarded the student's prize from the Director of the School and also 1st prize for Oral Hygiene Education. She then studied at Guys Hospital and qualified as a Dental Hygienist in 1984. Since then she has worked in general dental practices in Surrey and joined the team at Longborough in February 2008.
Janet finds working as a Hygienist busy but also very rewarding. She enjoys meeting new patients and is keen to continue to help them maintain their oral health. She is a firm believer in Dental Health Education and the positive influence preventative care has on the general health and well being of a patient.
Janet is married with a son and daughter who are quickly growing up and starting to think about University. She enjoys cooking and gardening, likes living in Surrey and keeps fit by swimming regularly.
Janet says...
"The UK's leading independent dental charity has criticised claims that fruit smoothies could be twice as healthy as first thought. They are worried this may encourage twice the consumption and warn that if consumed too frequently acid from the fruit could be damaging to teeth and result in an 'erosion epidemic.' So take care."
