Hi I'm Mandy one of the hygienists on the team. I have been working in dental practices since 1989 starting straight from school on the YTS scheme as a dental assistant and then in 1994 I went to do my hygiene training in Aldershot as a civilian on the Army course there. I enjoy meeting new patients as well as looking after those who we have built up a relationship with. I keep up to date with new techniques and theories by going to conferences/workshops as well as the many online methods of learning.

My interests outside of work are my family, music, line dancing, jogging round our lovely coast and sewing-look out for my bright scrubs!
