Her experience working with oncological / haematological, cleft lip and palate cases etc. in Our Lady’s Hospital Crumlin, is an indication of her professional, but gentle manner with patients. Isobell has also been on the teaching staff in the Hygienist School in Dublin Dental Hospital. Isobell has many patients who attend the practice just to be treated by her, so whether you are thinking of orthodontic treatment or not, you can make a hygiene appointment for a check-up, clean and polish.
