Mrs Eve Cockrell RDN
Surgery Manager/Owner

General Dental Council 139362

Eve was born and lived in Germany until 2007. She entered the dental profession by chance when looking for a new job on relocating from Greifswald to Mannheim in her early 20’s. On qualifying from the three-year training scheme, Eve found that she enjoyed the job so much that she went on to retrain as a hygienist and then as dental therapist. Alongside her clinical roles, Eve gained a qualification in ‘The ISO Implementation of Quality Management in the Dental Setting’.

Since moving to England, Eve has worked within NHS and Private dentistry. Her extensive experience and qualifications in both this country and in Europe ideally place her to run Ivy Cross Dental Surgery. Despite the challenges of her managerial position Eve does not want to step away from her clinical role or the satisfaction she gains from supporting patients with the dentist.

Eve feels the most rewarding aspect of her role is seeing the positive impact on a patient’s confidence and their excitement following cosmetic or restorative procedures.

The challenges of Eve’s role mean that her good intentions to engage in regular exercise tend to degenerate into a glass of wine in the garden, rather than time on the treadmill! Next week that will change!

Phillipa Charteris RDH
Dental Hygienist

General Dental Council Registration 2607

Philippa grew up in Zimbabwe and trained at Bristol Dental Hospital.

Philippa understands that some people believe that treatment by a hygienist is often considered ‘the worst’ aspect of dental care. It is both her and our view that prevention and dental hygiene represents our most important and significant role.

We wanted Philippa on our team as she has always gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that she treats everyone with great care. Her bubbly personality, enthusiasm, experience and gentle approach not only serves to dispel concerns about ‘seeing the hygienist’ but has led to a significant improvement in our patient’s oral health. This in turn leads to a reduction in the need for other treatments.

Philippa gains enormous satisfaction and pleasure from seeing a nervous patient becoming more and more relaxed and confident to the point where they even enjoy and look forward to the experience. She feels that finding that special key that unlocks a patient’s motivation adds to the rewarding nature of her role.

At home Philippa enjoys gardening, although has found that the more she learns, the less she finds she knew!

We are delighted to have Philippa on our team.
