Amy moved to the West Midlands to attend university and received her BSc in Dental Hygiene and Therapy from the University of Birmingham in 2009. She is incredibly passionate about her profession, and aims to give all of her patients the confidence to achieve and share their beautiful healthy smiles.

Amy has a great deal of experience in treating nervous and dental phobic patients. She is gentle and empathetic in her approach to looking after her patients and will always arrange treatment in a way you are most comfortable with. Her aim is to help patients build their confidence in attending dental appointments to ultimately achieve and maintain great oral health.

Amy has worked alongside Dental Specialists throughout her career, as well as having a stint as part of the clinical research team at Birmingham Dental Hospital. Amy is therefore very experienced at treating advanced gum disease, including the treatment/maintenance of patients with dental implants and orthodontic appliances. 

As a Dental Therapist, Amy is able to carry out preventive treatments, treat gum disease, rebuild broken and decayed teeth, and carry out cosmetic restorations on teeth. Dental Therapists can also extract children's teeth. Some treatments, such as teeth whitening, require a prescription from a dentist in order for the dental therapist to carry out the treatment however.

It is not a requirement to see a dentist before seeing Amy, however, it is important to see a dentist regularly for a full oral health assessment. If necessary, Amy is able to arrange for you to see one of the dentists she works alongside, or she can liaise with your own established dentist.
