Sports Dentistry, It's All About Education

​

I graduated in 1975 at University College Hospital, London. Whilst in general dental practice for 40 years, I became involved in academic practice by teaching on a restorative programme at UCL Eastman Dental Institute, London, UK. This led to the completion of my PhD into the impact of postgraduate dental education on dental practitioners, which has enabled me to become deputy director of the postgraduate restorative programme, specifically looking after the Master's students. Having had the opportunity to work with professional athletes in my practice, I was delighted to take over the running of the Sports Dentistry continuing professional development course at UCL Eastman Dental Institute in 2007. I have developed the CPD course into a part-time, blended learning programme, leading to a Master's degree in Sports Dentistry-Oral Health in Sport. The programme teaches dental practitioners to care for elite and recreational athletes and includes dealing with dental trauma, the implications of poor oral health on athletic performance, restorative challenges of athletes and undertaking research in sports dentistry. I published a Sports Dentistry text book in October 2018, which is been used for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. I have had the opportunity to lecture nationally and internationally about sports dentistry and to participate at major sporting events around the world as a Sports Dentist. I am currently Director of the Master's Degree in Sports Dentistry-Oral Health in Sports programme at UCL Eastman Dental Institute.
