Tracy Nicholls

Dental Hygienist

GDC No. 4133

I qualified as a dental Hygienist in 1991 at the Eastman Dental Hospital and started working in a dental practice that I worked in for 29 years. There I enjoyed looking after my regular patients and meeting and treating lots of new ones also.

I moved to Oakham last year after relocating from Essex, I love the vast countryside and open spaces and beautiful surrounding villages.

I have a wealth of experience to bring with me and love the interaction with people that being a hygienist brings.
