Elena De Rothschild

I joined Dawood & Tanner in 2008 as a dental nurse working with Andrew and Susan who inspired me to advance still further. I went off to King’s College Hospital London to become a Dental Hygienist and Therapist, and was delighted to return back to the practice after qualifying.

My responsibilities are varied; I have a passion for treating periodontal disease with the aim of maintaining teeth whenever possible – achieving a truly successful outcome! As a therapist I enjoy restoring teeth with tooth coloured materials, and achieving a fantastic appearance is really important to me. Having assisted with surgical and restorative implant work I followed my interest and completed a project at college on the success of dental implants and their impact on patients – this is an important part of my day-to-day hygiene practise.

I like to treat every patient as an individual and adapt my appointments to suit a patient’s needs. I enjoy keeping up-to-date with the latest knowledge and techniques by attending educational courses and conferences; dentistry is a passion as well as a career.

I also still enjoy “tickling the ivories” of a different kind – I qualified as a Pianist and Music Teacher at Moscow University. In my spare time I love to travel.
