BSc Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy (Birm 2016)
(GDC No: 264425)
Izzy qualified in 2016 from the University of Birmingham gaining both Honours and Clinical Distinction with her Degree. As our dental therapist here at Styvechale Dental Care, she is a valuable member of our team.
As well as doing all the work that a dental hygienist does, Izzy’s role as a dental therapist means that she can also carry out some dental procedures that patients are more used to a dentist doing. She can do fillings, extract ‘baby teeth’, place pre-formed crowns on baby teeth and do treatments using all the materials a dentist would use. Like a dental hygienist, Izzy can also take dental x-rays (these are used to diagnose problems and decide on the possible treatment). She can also place fissue sealants, apply flouride varnishes and give fluoride treatments.
Izzy can also carry out tooth whitening under a prescription from your dentist.
