About Shak
Hi, I'm Shak, a passionate and dedicated Dental Hygienist committed to helping patients achieve and maintain healthy, confident smiles.
I take pride in providing gentle, thorough and personalised care, ensuring every patient feels comfortable and informed throughout their visit. I believe that prevention is the foundation of good oral health, and I enjoy working closely with patients to improve their oral hygiene, prevent dental disease, and support long-term oral health.
My approach is friendly, professional and non-judgemental, whether I'm helping nervous patients feel at ease, providing periodontal treatment, or educating patients on effective oral hygiene techniques tailored to their individual needs.
I am passionate about delivering high standards of care and helping patients leave the practice feeling more confident about their smile and oral health. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey to a healthier smile.
Qualifications & Experience
I qualified as a Dental Hygienist from the University of Essex in 2017 and have been helping patients improve and maintain their oral health ever since.
Prior to pursuing a career in dentistry, I completed a BA (Hons) in Accounting and Business. Although a different field, this background helped me develop strong communication, organisational and problem-solving skills, which continue to support my patient-centred approach to care.
Since qualifying as a Dental Hygienist, I have undertaken numerous postgraduate courses and continuing professional development programmes to further enhance my clinical skills, with a particular focus on the prevention and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease.
I have a keen interest in periodontal therapy and am passionate about helping patients manage gum disease, improve their oral health, and achieve healthier smiles for life. I remain committed to staying up to date with the latest evidence-based techniques and treatments to ensure I provide the highest standard of care to every patient.
Whether treating patients with early signs of gum disease or more advanced periodontal conditions, my aim is always to provide gentle, personalised care in a comfortable and supportive environment.
What is Dental Hygiene?
Dental hygiene focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease and other conditions that can affect the health of your teeth and gums.
A Dental Hygienist plays an important role in helping patients maintain good oral health by providing professional cleaning treatments, removing plaque and tartar build-up, and offering personalised advice on brushing, flossing and other oral hygiene techniques.
Regular dental hygiene appointments can help to:
- Prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
- Remove plaque, tartar and staining.
- Improve gum health and reduce bleeding.
- Freshen breath and improve hygiene.
- Support long-term tooth health.
- Maintain your overall confident smile.
Many people are unaware that gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, often developing with very few symptoms in its early stages. Regular hygiene visits allow problems to be identified and treated early, helping you maintain a healthy smile for years to come.
