Meet the Hygienists

Qualifications: Statutory exam 2008 (London)
GDC number: 136789

I qualified in Ukraine in 2000 and registered with the GDC 2008.

While practicing dentistry I realised that most dental and gum problems can be prevented. So I have dedicated myself to preventative dentistry and in particular dental hygiene.

I absolutely love my role and the changes that my work brings into people’s life. May I welcome you here to our lovely BDS practice.

I originally joined the practice in 2010 as a permanent dental nurse after temping with Dr Davis for a while. I love the friendly atmosphere and dedicated teamwork of all the staff.

In 2017 in re trained as a hygienist so left the practice for a while to gain some experience. I am delighted that I have been able to return to the practice working part time. I am passionate about oral health and I enjoy working with patients to improve their perio status.

I have an upbeat personality and enjoy making my patients feel comfortable and at ease.

When I’m not working, I am a mum to two young children who are very energetic and keep me busy. I enjoy running, keeping fit, nutrition and when time allows socialising with friends.
