"Hello! I’m Teherah your Dental Hygienist, I have been described by patients and their families as patient, caring and welcoming. I enjoy helping others to create dental routines that not only prevent gum disease but also suit their lifestyle, with the ultimate goal to maintain overall health and teeth for as long as possible. Beyond dentistry I like to attend events, dine out, modern arts, vintage books and I sponsor small animals. I look forward to meeting you at Visage Dental in Harpenden."
