2019 Was a great year all around at Swords Orthodontics.
Here is a few of the highlights that have happened to us last year 2019..
Aesthetic dentistry awards.
In March we travelled to London for the aesthetic dentistry awards ceremony. It was held in the Landmark hotel which is a stunning setting as always. All of the team were very eager this year as we had worked really hard in 2018 and were very hopeful we would win an award so when our names were called three times for three separate awards we were all delighted. We won Best aesthetic practice Ireland, Interdisciplinary team orthodontic surgical and orthodontics child teenager fixed.
The baby boom
We welcomed three babies to the Swords ortho team this year and are going to welcome a third in January. Emma and her partner welcomed a baby boy Bradley in September, Brenda and her husband welcomed a little girl Sarah, and our oral surgeon Marie welcomed a baby girl Ava, both in October. Michelle and her husband are due a baby girl in January 2020. We celebrated with all the girls by throwing them baby showers. We are so grateful all babies and mothers are doing really well.
Education
This year was a great year for education here at Swords ortho, Gemma completed all her dental nurse training and passed all her exams with flying colours. She is now a fully qualified Dental nurse and we are so proud of her as she worked extremely hard and really deserves it. Courtney, Martina and Lisa all applied for spots on the dental radiography course which is due to start in January and were all awarded a place which we were all very excited about as we are all about extending our knowledge of the dental world.
New team member
We also welcomed our new specialist orthodontist, Dr Bogdan Selejan, to the team earlier in the year. We were delighted to welcome Bogdan to the team and we love working alongside him.
Orthodontic practice of the year
And to end the year on a high we won orthodontic practice of the year for the second year running in the Irish beauty industry awards. Which we were delighted about.
We have been very lucky to have a very positive year here at swords orthodontics and we are very excited for what’s to come in 2020.
