Eamon qualified from Leeds University in 2015 as a Hygienist (DipDH)/Therapist (DipDT). He also gained a Diploma in Paediatric Dentistry (DipPaeds) with the Royal College of Surgeons and has completed several Restorative Courses. Eamon is passionate about periodontal therapy and prevention, especially in the early years of life, whilst understanding the need for oral health before more complex treatments.

What is the difference between a Dentist and a Dental Therapist?

This is a question Eamon gets asked quite frequently, and he is happy to explain his role and scope of practice within the clinical team.

‘A Dental Therapist is a qualified Dental Hygienist who can also carry out restorative work, such as fillings and paediatric care for our younger patients, such as fillings, extractions, and crowns.’.

With Eamon growing up in Hove, not only is he a staple Hygienist/Therapist in our community, but he has also built up a great network of connections to share his advice and knowledge with.

Eamon is very well known for his caring manners, professionalism, and treating nervous patients and those with dental phobias. Eamon always endeavours to make the experience of the patient pleasant and relaxing. His expertise in periodontal disease, implants, and orthodontics enables him to explain what techniques are best to maintain good oral health.

He is passionate about learning. Eamon is always trying to acquire new knowledge in dentistry through postgraduate education. He also enjoys the dental therapy aspect of his profession, doing composite bonding, teeth whitening, and fillings for children/adults within his scope of practice.

His diary is open 4 days a week, including evening appointments, and he will be offering ‘Direct Access’ Hygienist appointments for any patient who requires this service.

Away from the practice, Eamon is a foodie and spends a lot of time exploring new restaurants and chefs. He is very much a family-centred gentleman who enjoys his long walks (with Phil Collins playing in his ear!) and great times spent with friends.
