Jane is competing topless to raise funds for

Breast Cancer

 

 

As many of you know, I had a double masectomy in 2019 due to breast cancer, a disease which tragically Caroline, my loyal work colleague and Dental nurse of 27 years, and my dear mum lost their battles too.  I'm sure many of you will also know tragic stories of other breast cancer suffers.  I have been fortunate enough to turn my health and life around and enjoy fitness again.

 

I am raising funds for Breast Cancer Now by competing topless in a HYROX competition at London Olympia on 4th May 2024.  This fantastic charity provides support and care for those affected and funds vital research.

Many thanks

A message from Jane who is retiring 

 

 

It is with very mixed emotions that I will be retiring from clinical dentistry in November 2023.  This has happened far more quickly than anticipated, so sadly I won't have time to say farewell to many of you in person.  However,  Dexter and I will remain involved and continue to manage Belmont Dental Practice.

 

We have a lovely dentist, Keshvi joining us, who will take over the continuing dental care of my patients.  Keshvi has an excellent resumé and comes highly recommended.  We are confident you'll settle in with her as she has a very similar clinical approach and caring manner to both of us.  Please see her resumé on 'About Us', - under 'Our Team' page.

 

I have had 27 very happy years at Belmont, and will miss seeing you. I've been treating many of you for a very long time, and we’ve journeyed through the ups and downs of our lives along the way. We’ll still be in Gerrards Cross, so hope that we’ll still see many of you around.

 

All the wonderful Belmont team are still here as usual to look after you.

Anyone with pre booked appointments from 7th November 2023 will now automatically be booked in with Keshvi. 

 

 With very best wishes, 

 Jane

 

 

 

Covid-19 Update September 2023

 

In accordance with Dental Health England and Government Healthcare guidelines, we maintain many Covid-19 protocols for the safety of staff and patients. We  are completely confident that you will be treated here safely. 
 

It is important that you maintain your dental health and there is no reason why you should not come to see us for this purpose. Not only do we check the condition of your teeth but the health of your whole mouth from gum disease to cancer. 

 

Alongside a dedicated decontamination/sterilisation room and very high levels of cross infection control within the surgeries, which we have always had, we have added specific procedures to deal with Covid-19. These include:

 

  • The waiting room is fully operational; mask wearing is recommended but optional. If you'd feel more comfortable waiting in your car please do so.
  • Use of hand sanitiser is required on entry and exit
  • Reception area completely screened off between staff and patients.
  • 2m social distancing is recommenced and we are lucky to have good space to enable this.
  • Full appropriate PPE is worn by all staff - surgical masks in all clinical areas.
  • The premises are very well ventilated with powerful extractor fans available.
  • Patients can always pay by BACS in advance if they do not want to wait in the reception area.
  • All clinicians have a dedicated dental nurse assisting them

 

We continue to stay fully abreast of current government guidelines and that of governing dental organisations and will update this website accordingly should circumstances change.

 

Thank you.

 

 

Mouth Cancer    Awareness

All our dental examinations include an oral cancer screen

Sadly mouth cancer is on the rise and if caught early can be treated but if left undetected can be fatal. 

We always carry out a full oral health assessment to ensure there are no suspiscious areas at your 

dental check up so we strongly recommend having regular appointments.

He has worked a year in a dental practice, two years in hospitals gaining surgical experience and is now pursuing a career in Maxilofacial surgery. He has started a medical degree in Leeds in September 2023. 

 

 

After 34 years in the profession, Dexter has retired from clinical dentistry, but is still very much involved in the running of the practice.
