Hey everyone!

This time last week we were all training CPR Basic life support and Advanced life support. We do this every year with the very qualified paramedic John Horton.

We did this in our new Ongar Unit 2 practice which is looking lovely and we can’t wait to start seeing new patients and existing patients in this practice! Although we hope medical emergency training will not be needed when we see you! 😂

We offer free MOT visits which means you get to meet the team and have a basic understanding of what treatment you may need before having to pay any money!

We do require you to have a full assessment prior to starting any treatment.
The clinical team that you will see is:
Anna Peterson - Dental Therapist
Robert Mitchell - Dentist
Mark Whetstone - Dentist

Give us a call on 01279 442602
Or drop us a message on IG: or
Alternately you can send us an email:

Hi I'm Anna Peterson and I just want to thank you for visiting my fundraising page. You may have seen me on TikTok or Instagram talking about teeth! In March 2025 I am flying out to Tanzania with a group of clinical educators to provide dental education. We are delivering core oral health messages to thousands of teachers, nurses, village managers and health workers who are then educating their own communities.

Ending Infant Oral Mutilation

In Tanzania Bridge2Aid have a prevention programme focused on the issue of Infant Oral Mutilation. Because there is very little knowledge around oral health in rural east Africa some dangerous myths and treatments have become established. If infants suffer from sickness or diarrhoea when they are developing their first set of teeth, traditional healers often diagnose the growing teeth as the cause of the illness. They call these teeth plastic teeth (due to their softness). The ‘treatment’ (Infant Oral Mutilation) is to remove the growing canine teeth without the use of anaesthetic – and usually with unsterilised, improvised implements. This is extremely painful, dangerous and can be fatal.

Infant Oral Mutilation happens to around 2.5 million children each year in East Africa. It is a dangerous and sometimes fatal practice where developing teeth are gouged out of the gums of small children using unsterilised, sharpened bicycle spokes. This practice is dangerous and sometimes deadly.

Enter our raffle by following the link to purchase tickets. Tickets are £5 a ticket and you could win over £440 worth of prizes.
