Hardeep ‘Dee’ Singh

Dental Hygienist and Therapist

BSc Oral Health Science University of Manchester

GDC NO: 6629

Dee graduated with a BSc Oral Health Sciences Honours with Distinction Degree at Manchester University. She has gone on to further training in many disciplines within dentistry, including teeth whitening, radiography and dental implant management.

Dee is currently undertaking a post-graduate diploma in restorative dentistry, which is a significant commitment in addition to her already hectic schedule! Dee is passionate about keeping up-to-date with modern ideas and techniques in practice, and so this ensures the care she is providing is in line with the latest developments.

Alongside working in dental practice, Dee has been teaching and mentoring students at the University of Manchester since 2008. As a dedicated educator, Dee has also completed multiple teaching qualifications, including the City & Guilds Level 4 PTTLS and CTTLS Certificate. More recently in 2019, Dee also completed a post-graduate Certificate in Higher Education. She is extremely keen on teaching students to think independently and has carried this philosophy in to Beaumont Dental where she continuously helps with team training and development.

Dee enjoys all aspects of working in dental practice, particularly copying the intricacies of natural teeth when placing tooth-coloured (composite) restorations.

Dee loves working at Beaumont Dental as the values of the practice align with her own values as a clinician. Providing quality patient care is at the forefront. We have regular clinician meetings to help us to improve treatment quality. Every team member is valued and post graduate learning is encouraged and supported to ensure we are keeping our knowledge and skills up to date delivering the best to our patients.

If you were not a dentist/therapist/hygienist, what would you be and why?

I really enjoy being a mother to my two boys who are now aged 13 and 14. When they were younger, I loved all the messy play and creative learning. It would make me so happy seeing how much fun they were having whilst learning. I also currently teach the Dental Students at Manchester University on a Friday and I find it so rewarding. If I was not a Dental Therapist, I would be an Early Years School Teacher.

What are your hobbies?

I have many hobbies however my favourite includes any physical activities involving problem solving such as escape rooms, The Crystal maze, The Cube Manchester etc. Other favourites are hiking, indoor rock climbing, badminton, and the theatre.

• What would be your first-choice superpower and why?
  I want to go back in time and be able to relive all those moments that I took for granted.
• What’s your favourite guilty pleasure TV show or movie?
  Friends
• If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?
  I went to Rome a few years ago and fell in love with the city. The beautiful architecture, the delicious food and the city being steeped in ancient history just makes it all so magical.
• What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
  I am an adventurous person. I have climbed Snowdon, jumped out of a plane for a sky dive, done a bungee jump and have been on Velocity (the world’s fastest zip line). However, with me being a weak swimmer and terrified of the ocean, I would have to say scuba diving. It took me way out of my comfort zone!
• If you could switch lives with any fictional character for a day, who would it be and why?
  It would have to be Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. I love her outfits, her shoes and all the trendy bars and restaurants she visits. It would be great to experience that for a day!
