Stella Woodward - Dental Hygienist

Hi I’m Stella, I’ve worked in dentistry for over half my lifetime! Firstly as a dental nurse in my native Scotland, then moving to Manchester to study a BSc in Oral Health Science. I have been a qualified dental therapist for 17 years and have worked within a wide range of settings throughout the North West.

I am passionate about prevention, promoting better oral health and ensuring patients have an enjoyable dental visit. I have a keen interest in the treatment and management of periodontal disease (gum disease), helping patients to achieve and maintain a healthy mouth. I have built up a rapport with patients over many years with the practice.

In my spare time I love the gym, especially CrossFit and weightlifting, walking my dog and I love to travel with my family. I champion maintaining physical and mental health and wellbeing through a healthy lifestyle.

“Stella is extremely thorough in her examination and treatment. She is informative, approachable and pleasant. I have the utmost trust in her advice and regard her highly. She has been my dental hygienist for several years now. The Dental Health Centre is a highly professional establishment. Everyone is extremely pleasant, efficient and most welcoming. The team is cohesive and the staff work collaboratively to great effect” – Julie
