Ruth Chaplin - Hygienist

Ruth is the senior hygienist in the practice and has been a member of the team since 2001.  Ruth started part time for an afternoon a week and has expanded and extended her hygiene role to 3 long days.  She works until 7pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and until 5pm on Fridays.

Since the change in legislation in May 2014 Ruth carries out direct access treatment for those who want to see a hygienist but either have their own dentist or do not want to see one.  Ruth uses the latest technology, including the wand for anaesthetic, intra oral camera and loupes and will make your visit as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

Ruth is a gentle hygienist who has patients that have been coming back to see her for many years hence proving how good she is.
