Mayra brings a lifetime of experience to her role as a Hygienist at Clapham South Dental. A native Spanish speaker, she has twenty one years' experience in dentistry, seventeen of those here in the UK.
Awarded a Diploma in Dental Hygiene and Therapy by Leeds University in 2006 as well as the course prize for Clinical Excellence, she went on to gain an Honours Degree in Dental Studies at Preston University in 2013 and is currently studying for a Master's Degree in Global Public Health at the world-renowned London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Previously she has worked in community dental care, working with adults with special mental, physical, social or emotional needs. She currently specialises in paediatric dentistry at the Royal London Dental Hospital, providing complex dental care for children suffering extreme anxiety, severe dental decay and medical or learning disabilities.
Her quirky good humour and endless fascination for people makes her a hit with all her patients. With excellent listening skills, she prides herself on providing the highest standards of medical care, especially for those with the most complex medical needs.
On her annual trips home to South America she regularly arranges voluntary presentations on oral hygiene, from big city schools to tiny classrooms high up in the Andes, from tribal communities deep in the Amazon jungle to a top security prison. We are proud to have been able to support her in our own way with materials for this invaluable work.
