Spring brings changes at Ruthin Dental Practice


Spring brings changes at Ruthin Dental Practice



This March we wish Gareth Lloyd a happy retirement.

Gareth graduated in 1977. He cut his teeth in the world of dentistry at a practice in Rhyl before coming to work at Ruthin Dental Practice. During his time here he has worn many hats including Practice Owner, Partner and Associate.


Over the years Gareth has seen many changes and played an important role working for Public Health Wales, Welsh Assembly and Health Boards ensuring dental services are of a high quality and safe.


Gareth has proved dental care to many patients often treating generations of the same family.




I am sure patients, members of the dental team and colleagues he has worked with over the years will join us in wishing Gareth well in his retirement.

Striving to improve

Striving to improve.



 “I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.” 




Being a dental professional involves commitment to continuously learn and improve your skills and knowledge. This not only applies to the dentist but also to our dental nurses, therapists and hygienists. 

Heather and Becca have recently completed training in Smoking Cessation. 

As well as other health risks smoking causes staining on the teeth. It can also lead to gum disease and eventually tooth loss. Smoking increases the risk of developing mouth cancer.

Stop Smoking Wales is a free intervention training program to help support anyone who wants to stop smoking. You are 4 times more likely to succeed with NHS support than using will power alone.

You can contact them directly or we can refer you. Ask the dentist or hygienist next time you are in.

Follow the link to Stop Smoking Wales for more details


Congratulations to



Sarah Gregg who has received her Postgraduate Diploma in restorative Dentistry.















And to Joanna Kettle  who attained  Level 3 Diploma in Treatment Coordination.

Happy to have you on board.




At Ruthin Dental Practice we are striving to provide our patients with "outstanding team dentistry in a modern environment."

Our previous posts have highlighted areas of the practice where we have made practical changes and improvements but today I would like to welcome a new member of the team.





Glesni Llwyd joined the practice in July 2016 as an associate dentist having qualified from Cardiff Dental School in 2011. Following this she completed two foundation years and attained MFDS RCS(Ed) which has given her a strong foundation on which to develop her dental experience and skills.

Glesni is no stranger to the practice as she attended here as a child. She is a welsh speaker and it had always been her intention to establish herself within North Wales. She now works in general dental practice and has gained invaluable knowledge in orthodontic aligners, paediatric and special care, inhalation sedation and maxillofacial surgery.  She has also supported local schools through the "Design to Smile" oral health improvement programme for children in Wales.

During Glesni's short time with us she has proved to be an enthusiastic and friendly member of the team showing as much enthusiasm in her personal life when she enjoys the outdoors, travelling and festivals.

Glesni's aspirations are to develop her skills and knowledge further particularly in restorative dentistry.

I am sure you will join us in welcoming Glesni to the practice.
