For the year 97/98, Jeremy was elected as vice Dean of the Faculty and he regarded this as a great honour.
Jeremy is still committed to quality of clinical care. He remains active locally as Treasurer of the Oxford Division of the FGDP and is on local education committees. He has an interest in dental research within practice and has written two national research projects which are currently underway and will be published soon. His special interest is in cracked teeth and his ongoing research in this field may ultimately lead to a PhD. Jeremy was awarded the Fellowship of the FGDP(UK) in 2003.
He has a Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis and is able to use a number of techniques to make anxious patients feel more at ease.
Jeremy is now an examiner for the Implant Diploma at the Royal College of Surgeons of England and he is a mentor for the Diploma in Dental Implantology of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Although the practice is still a ‘general practice’ which offers almost all aspects of dentistry, there is a distinct concentration on advanced restorative dentistry. More than half of Jeremy’s time is spent on major reconstructive dentistry.
The practice employs two dental therapists on a sessional basis. A Dental Therapist is able to perform many routine dental tasks and can be regarded as half way between a dentist and a hygienist.
