At St Faith we offer the complete range of dentistry at an affordable price. We pride ourselves in providing the best standard of care, and as part of a sedation clinic know more than most just how anxious one can be about dentistry. We have the support of a full range of specialists at the practice to ensure even the most complex of situations can be managed efficiently and effectively.
Come and see how we can help.
Susanne qualified at the University of Lund in Sweden in 1999 with a Diploma in Dental Surgery. She came over to the UK sixteen years ago to further her career. She has a particular interest and empathy with anxious patients, having worked part time in sedation clinics for many years.
She lives locally and is married with two young children. She enjoys travelling, reading, gardening, and can often be found out and about in the local area with her dogs.
Martin qualified as a dentist in 1999 receiving the top grade in his thesis. His special interest is achieving maximum facial and dental aesthetics and make the treatment as comfortable as possible for the patients. In his spare time, he loves to travel the world and get to know different cultures.
Alex was a General Nurse working in Maxillofacial Surgery and Accident and Emergency before re-training as a Dental Hygienist and Therapist. She has great empathy with nervous patients and, very unusually, she is able to provide scaling and other hygiene work under inhalational sedaton.
Due to a change in NHS commissioning Guidelines - for NHS treatment - if your child’s appointment falls after 31st December 2019 we will be obliged to carry out any treatment under Inhalation Sedation only.
‘Magic Wind’ inhalational sedation uses Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen. Mothers may have experienced this during child birth; it makes one feel floaty and relaxed but not in the same way as ‘Intravenous’ sedation (where powerful sedation drugs are introduced via the back of the hand or arm). We will need to see you and your child for a separate preassessment appointment. If at assessment it is clear that inhalational sedation is not going to be practical due to age, anxiety or extent of treatment, the options are then for us to refer your child on for treatment to hospital or community dental unit as dictated by the NHS referral system- or you can ask your dentist to refer you for treatment using intravenous sedation on an independent basis.
The withdrawal of intravenous sedation techniques under NHS contract for children has been imposed by NHSEngland and not something we have had any say over. We would however like to apologise for any further delays and disruption this may cause.
