Arlene Struthers DIP DH
Arlene qualified as a dental hygienist from the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh in 2001.
She immediately moved down to Trowbridge and has worked here ever since.
Now a very experienced hygienist, Arlene has a particular interest in the treatment of more advanced gum disease. Most of her free time is taken up spending it with her horse and a dog.
Our dental nurses
All our dental nurses are qualified or working towards qualification and are registered with the General Dental Council.
Helen has additional qualifications which allows her to perform the important role of oral health education, that is, teaching and motivating patients effective and efficient tooth cleaning. Debbie is also now qualified to take x-rays.
Our receptionists
Our team of receptionists are the first point of contact for most patients and we are extremely lucky to have two very friendly and courteous ladies.
When you contact the practice, they will try to deal with any request that you make with speed and efficiency, although there are times when it will be necessary to consult a colleague first.
The excellence of our team was recognised when we came runners-up in the Private Dental Awards Dental Team of the Year 2005.
