Jessica Fuller
Hygienist
Qualified in 1981.
Worked abroad as a hygienist returning home to work in private practice for six years.
Had a nine-year break working as a plant buyer in a large garden centre and later as a gardener.
I returned to work as a dental hygienist and have been working for the past 25 years. As well as working I completed a fine art degree in sculpture. Over these years I have developed a good rapport with my patients and because of the very high standards that were expected of our principal dentists I believe this has filtered down into my own practice.
