Eleni graduated from Athens Dental School, Greece. After her graduation, she worked in a private practice, limited to paediatric dentistry, for two years before moving to UK to complete her Master of Science in Paediatric Dentistry at Leeds Dental Institute. Eleni became a Fellow of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Canada (Paediatric Dentistry) in 2000. A GDC registered Specialist in Paediatric Dentistry and currently working as a Specialist Paediatric Dentist in Bucks CDS, she is the lead for the Paediatric Dental General Anaesthetic list, the Paediatric Safeguarding lead for Bucks CDS, the Deputy chair for the Thames Valley Special Care and Paediatric Dentistry MCN and the Education supervisor for a Specialty Registrar in Paediatric Dentistry. Eleni is the Specialist Paediatric Dentist at Bourne End Dental Practice, where she treats paediatric patients with advanced dental needs including those who require treatment under sedation. Eleni worked as a part time Specialist Clinical Lecturer at the Department of Paediatric Dentistry at Kings and Guys Dental Institute and is an active member of the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry, the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, and the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry. When not at work, Eleni loves being with the family (including Patch, the family’s dog), reading a good book, listening to good music, walking and experimenting with cooking ( trying any recipe across the world that seems interesting but with not always successful outcomes).
