A Tralee dental team has won a national award for conquering a patient’s dental phobia.
Susan Crean Dental and Facial Aesthetics was awarded the Colgate Caring Dental Team of the Year at a ceremony in Dublin at the weekend.
Dr Susan Crean and her team were recognised for assisting a patient in battling a severe dental phobia which manifested after a bad experience as a child.
The judging panel noted the extreme lengths they went to in order to allay the fears of the patient.
Hosted by the Irish Dental Association and title sponsor Colgate, this year saw almost 1,000 nominations received from dental patients and their families all over the country.
You can hear an interview with Dr Susan Crean and her team on In Business on Thursday between 6 and 7pm.
