Maggie Jackson MPhil EDH Dip DHE FAETC
Maggie was born in the UK and brought up in a small village but she loved the idea of travel and adventure and joined the WRAF as soon she was 17. She trained in the service as a dental nurse and was quickly selected for hygienist training.
Now in her early 60's, she was a single Mum for a number of years and is now happily married with four grown up children, two step children and fourteen grandchildren! She is very enthusiastic about her work, even after all these years, and endeavours to inspire others with her enthusiasm. Despite periodontal treatment being sometimes testing for them, Maggie's patients like her and she has built an enviable reputation as a clinician and an opinion former in the profession as a whole.
A great believer in continuing education, Maggie was in November 2003 awarded a Master of Philosophy in Dentistry, a postgraduate degree from Leeds University, where she was recently headhunted as a part-time research hygienist on several trials. She has had a number of articles published and has used her personal research findings to help design a new interdental brush for the treatment and control of interdental periodontal pocketing.
Maggie works with the top periodontal practice in Manchester, which she has helped to develop over a period of twenty-five years and where she is the hygienist team leader. She also travels to work in a specialist periodontal practice in Essex. Her role besides treatment is advancing the training of many hygienists in the treatment of periodontal diseases and she continues this in all her practices. She is constantly in demand as a speaker at conferences and at universities and as a mentor. Maggie was the first hygienist to speak at Stafford Miller's 'Talking Points', a nationwide road show, and has recently lectured to hygienists in Portugal, the USA and Australia, as well as in the UK.
Through MIDHS, Maggie offers an alternative referral route for patients who need a thorough periodontal assessment and treatment to stabilise their condition, either prior to approaching a periodontal specialist or to avoid the need ever to see a specialist.
