“We have been offering more children’s appointments for over a year now, but we have not had the same enthusiastic response in Shropshire as we had in other parts of the country.
“We extended our opening hours into the evenings and to include Saturdays so we can see even more children.
“We encourage parents to take advantage of this opportunity and bring their children to us.”
A spokesman for SpaDental introduced the staff who work at the practice.
They said: “Abel Adeosun, qualified as a dentist in 2013 from a leading university in Nigeria and worked there before relocating to the UK, earning his Master’s degree in Public Health (MPH) at the University of Chester.
“Abel is registered in England as a Dental Therapist while waiting for an opportunity to take the Overseas Registration Examinations (ORE) to practice in England as a dentist.
“As a dental therapist he provides preventive dental and periodontal care to children and adults, places fillings, reconstructs damaged teeth and offers aesthetic bonding as appropriate.
“ A father of a young family, Abel is an excellent choice to guide your children towards improved dental care.
“Husband and wife team Gopan Maniyan and Nissi Sasi support Abel in the surgery and on the reception desk at Whitchurch.
“Both qualified as dentists in India before moving to England. Gopan qualified in 2012 and has an interest in orthodontics but is unable to treat patients in the UK until he has taken the ORE and is registered as a dentist in England.
“Nissi enrolled on a post-graduate degree at the University of Edinburgh Napier to study Healthcare Management and attended her Master’s degree award ceremony earlier this month, having qualified as a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from the Rajiv Gandhi University, Bengaluru, in 2016.
