Hygienists
Dental Hygienists play an essential role in
a preventative dental practice. They are skilled professionals
who have a key part to play in the prevention and treatment
of gum disease. Gum disease is the biggest single cause
of adult tooth loss and a problem which we take very seriously.
Use them to increase your awareness of how
to prevent dental disease. They are highly trained professionals
and not just there to clean teeth!
As patients keep their teeth for longer the
emphasis on dentistry is changing from treatment to prevention
and hygienists are one of the most important personnel in
delivering this change.

My name is Claire Pilkington, I qualified
from Liverpool Dental Hospital in 1991 and joined Silverwell
Dental Surgery in 1994. I am a member of the British Society
of Dental Hygiene and Therapy and I am dedicated in maintaining
my continuing professional education. In 2001 I gained a
Batchelor of Science degree with Honours in Psychology and
biology, which took five and a half years of part time study
to complete. I am very committed to my profession, I will
do my utmost to offer you the best possible oral health
care and proud to work with such a great team. Outside of
work I am a keen horsewoman with interests in dressage and
endurance riding.
