Training and qualifications

David studied dentistry at the University of Glasgow in his hometown. He graduated with commendation in 2005 having already achieved an intercalated BSc (DentSci) in anatomical science in 2003.

After graduating, David moved to London where he worked in the community dental service. He then undertook hospital training positions in oral surgery, restorative dentistry, paediatric dentistry, oral medicine and dental radiology. David was accepted as a Member of the Faculty of Dental Surgeons at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (MFDS RCPS) in 2009.

After completing his hospital positions, David worked in general dental practice in West London where he developed his interest in endodontics (root canal treatment) and decided to pursue specialist training in the field. David entered a four-year specialist training programme in endodontics at Guy’s and St Thomas' Hospital in London, in 2010. He completed the programme with a distinction, gaining the MClinDent and MEndo (RCSEd) qualifications.

The research David performed as part of his specialist training has been published in an international peer-reviewed journal and he has also contributed to dental textbooks and reviewed scientific papers.

David has worked at King's College London teaching endodontics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and is a member of the British Endodontic Society.

He always takes time to explain all available treatment options to his patients to ensure they’re fully informed about their treatment. He aims to provide a comfortable environment and has a relaxed and friendly manner.
