Arnica Dental Care

After joining the RAF, Lesley decided to train to become a hygienist. So, Lesley applied for, and was successfully awarded, a place in the RAF’s Institute of Dental Health and Training at RAF Halton, graduating in 1995. Lesley remained in the RAF for 11 years with postings in South Wales, Aylesbury, and Butnalso in Germany.

After leaving the RAF, Lesley moved to Cheltenham and worked for a private practice for two years before moving to London. After two years in London, Lesley moved back to Gloucestershire, where she worked in various practices doing locum work.

Lesley is keen to maintain her professional development; she attends dental hygienist courses and training days so she can provide the most up-to-date treatment to her patients. Her passion for looking after anxious patients has meant that she has also invested a lot of time learning about and refining gentle dentistry techniques. She is also on the committee for Gloucestershire Independent Dental Hygienists and Therapists (GIDHT).
