Kerry Sheppard

Dental Hygienist & Dental Therapist

GDC Number : 136235

Qualification Diploma in Dental Hygiene and Therapy University of Sheffield 2020

Kerry graduated with a distinction from the University of Sheffield in June 2020. Having begun working within the dental profession in 1998, she has gained more than twenty valuable years of experience in this area of healthcare, working in both dental nursing and managerial roles in the past.

Kerry believes in treating patients holistically, tailoring patients dental care dependant on their needs as individuals. Kerry views patients’ oral health as part of their overall health and well-being and is passionate about supporting them in maintaining optimal levels of oral care.

Knowing that prevention is key, Kerry always tries to work with her patients in a friendly and practical manner. Kerry prides herself on having the ability to empathise and relate to patients who perhaps may feel more nervous than others about a visit to the dental setting. She will always proceed with a gentle, relaxed and methodical approach to patient care.

Kerry gained a wealth of current knowledge and practical skills whilst attending Sheffield University. As part of her study, she worked on several clinics at the Charles Clifford Dental Hospital. She gained experience seeing patients with advanced gum disease, patients with complex medical requirements, patients who had experienced head and neck cancers, orthodontic cases and paediatric cases.

Kerry is committed to lifelong learning and continues to extend her knowledge and skill set by planning and attending more study days and courses. She completed the two-day masterclass with Edudent in London for dental therapists and hygienists in 2023, and more recently in 2024 attended a paediatric hands-on course at Leeds University.

Kerry grew up in Lincolnshire and is fond of the area. She lives in a quiet village with her family, including her husband, two children, and three adored house cats.
