BSc (Teesside) DHDT RDN GDC No. 279470
I’m Yasmin, I had worked as a dental nurse for 10 years before graduating from Teeside University with a degree in dental hygiene therapy. This means I can attend to all of your current health needs, complete fillings requested by your dentist, and complete any treatment a child may need. I have particular interest in periodontal health and paediatric dentistry. At home I am a Mam to a seven-year-old boy called Jacob who likes to keep me on my toes. We like being outside with our labrador and the rest of our family. We like to explore new places on holiday and spend as much time together as possible.
