Ruth qualified with honours from University College Cork in 1985 and started her dental career in a busy NHS practice in Gravesend Kent before moving to Oxford House.
This has given her many years of experience in both NHS and private practice.
Ruth has a keen interest in most aspects of general dentistry and regularly attends postgraduate courses in her commitment to furthering her knowledge and skills.
Regular attendance at the local BDA meetings allows interaction with other colleagues as well as the educational aspect.
Ruth’s philosophy is striving to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere for all of her patients.
Ruth is married with two children and in her spare time she enjoys running, gardening and reading.
We offer care across a range of specialties and we will keep you informed of your patient’s treatment, encouraging your patient to return to your dental practice for continuing care and involving you in your patient’s treatment every step of the way.
The government has announced that dental practices can re-open providing appropriate precautions are in place for social distancing and the relevant PPE is available.
Our team are currently working very hard behind the scenes to ensure that we have everything in place so we can open as soon as possible. We have been creating new policy procedures and training the team on the changes we have made.
This will mean a ‘new normal’ when we see you again. Your journey through the practice will look slightly different than before; we will ask you to wait outside the practice until we are ready for you, and you will be escorted to the treatment room. We will ask you to maintain social distancing while moving through the practice, and there will be perspex screens in the reception area.
Our team will be wearing additional PPE, but please rest assured it will be your same smiling team behind the masks!
For your safety and that of our team, we will need to ask all patients to not come into the practice unless you have spoken to us first. This will be to ensure that we can maintain social distancing within the building. Once we are open, we will be available to speak to by phone, or you can contact us by email in the mean time.
If you have a dental emergency please call the practice on 01908 373614 or if you have a general concern, please email on [email protected]
We look forward to seeing you again soon, but until then, please stay safe.
Kind regards,
The team at Oxford House Dental Practice
