POSITION: Principal Dentist

  1. So, Keith, how do you maintain a healthy work/life balance?

I make sure that life takes priority over work.

  1. What measures do you take to ensure a healthy, stress-free practice?

I make sure my wife runs it! But seriously, I try to delegate tasks as much as possible and not try to do everything myself.

  1. What steps do you take for the welfare and comfort of your patients?

As a team, we try to be as friendly and welcoming as we can from the moment a patient enters the practice. We always strive to ensure we are using the most up-to-date and effective clinical techniques and systems. This includes our new computer-assisted local anaesthesia system for painless injections that is proving to be a valuable asset for the comfort of all our patients.

  1. Name a product that improves your personal wellbeing.

For me it has to be the combination of my loupes and my saddle chair. Loupes make such a big difference to my dentistry and I couldn’t work comfortably without either of these items.

  1. Name a product/technique that has improved your professional wellbeing.

It’s being able to administer comfortable injections to my patients. We do as much as we can to keep our patients happy and relaxed, but many patients become anxious about having a dental injection. I can now confidently tell my patients that the injection is going to be fine and I know it’s going to be fine (even if at first they don’t believe me!). When I’m relaxed, it makes the patient relaxed and I can do a much better job of treating them.
