Our Team of Dentists and Hygienists

Meet the Team at Warlingham Green. Warlingham Green Dental Clinic was set up by Richard in November 2004 and has grown from strength to strength with thanks to our patients who have kindly recommended us and our services. Most of our referrals are via recommendation- and that's how we like it...

Let me introduce you to my team...

Dr Richard Clarke-Irons

Dental Surgeon and Principal Dentist
Qualified at Birmingham Dental School in 1997.

I am really keen on 'preventative' or minimally invasive dentistry. This is my ultimate goal to try and help my patients limit the amount of dentistry they require. In other words, once we've fixed your dental problems we want to help you keep it that way. I work very closely with our hygienists Rachael and Poppy to achieve this. Infact regular patients of mine will often see the hygienists a lot more frequently than they see me! This not only saves my patients money, but they are likely to need less fillings or injections. It is the kind of dentistry that I would like to receive myself.

Dr Jessica Morris

Dental Surgeon
Qualified at Birmingham Dental School.

Like Richard, I also graduated from Birmingham Dental School. I enjoy interacting with patients of all ages and have a particular interest in treating children and anxious patients. I aim to provide a calming atmosphere to ensure that patients feel at ease during their visit.

I believe in treating patients as individuals and tailor my treatment to their particular needs. I have worked and gained experience both in general practice and in hospitals in Surrey and Sussex.

Poppy

Hygienist
Qualified at Kings College in 2004

Poppy is another talented hygienist with a keen interest in 'long term prevention of gum disease and dental decay'.She is also into horses like Tam (which was great until she broke her leg!) She has a super manure recipe which she tests on her home grown veg.

Poppy is also an 'Early Responder' to people in medical difficulty near to where she lives (would have been really useful to herself when she broke her leg in the middle of nowhere...alone!!). She will race to help people in situations where it would take an ambulance a long time to get there. If you see her outside the practice, you are probably in trouble!! (Oh the irony!)

Rachael

Hygienist / Therapist
Qualified at Kings College in 2011

Rachael graduated as a hygienist/therapist at Kings College in 2011. The therapist part means she can place fillings in both adults and children. It does not mean that she 'does counselling!' Rachael is dedicated to providing the best possible hygiene care to our patients.

Although she doesn't look old enough, Rachael is a mum to two teenage girls and recently had her third child Logan, born in October 2012.

Rachael is here every Tuesday from 8am till 4.30pm

Tamara

Dental Nurse
Qualified City and Guilds 2008

Tam is the epitome of dedication, she arrives early, always looking to improve, comes up with the best ideas, and cleans up after me! Tam is developing her skills so fast she'll soon have her own clinic.

Tamara became a mum to Dylan in November 2012 and will be returning from maternity leave in September 2013.
