Not so
long ago many children were scared to go to the
dentist. This has changed greatly and, as a result,
young people are now taking much better care of
their teeth. As a dentist working in Glasgow, Kieran
is delighted to have played a part in these changes.
He is highly thought of within the profession and
has been elected to a senior post in the British
Dental Association. (more) |
