About Us

I have a terrible fear of dental work and needles but from start to finish John my dentist and his assistant were amazing guiding me through every step and letting me be in control of what was happening and how we proceeded . Thank you so much for taking time with me and understanding my needs , keep up the fantastic work.Having a background in dentistry, I registered my children with John at Kids dental care as I felt this would benefit my children in so many ways. On our first appointment I was so impressed and overwhelmed with how amazing this is for children. John and his nurse Lorna are outstanding at what they do. Just simply that the kids are offered exciting fun glasses and an iPad used for them to watch a programme during examination and treatments is brilliant and instantly makes them feel at ease and special. I highly recommend to everyone I speak to!

John is a fantastic dentist and puts you so at ease and has definitely calmed my fears of the dentist. Thanks again to all your team.What an absolutely incredible practice! John was more like a friend than a stereotypical dentist! He managed to put my daughter at ease to have 2 teeth extracted. She was pain free during and after the extraction. My daughter loved his “cool t-shirt, being able to watch Netflix during, getting to pick from all the glasses and then getting to choose a prize from the treasure chest”. Never seen dental care like it. Thank you so so much!!

We have recently been to this dentist to get a few of my little girls teeth removed. She was too anxious to get this done at her regular dentist and we got a referral for here.
John put her at ease straight away and explained the whole procedure with her before her appointment, answering any questions she had.
She loved that she could choose a scent for the gas and air, could watch a movie on Netflix and get to choose a toy from the treasure chest if she got her treatment done.
It took 2 appointments for her to get everything done and after the 1st she actually looked forward to going back.
Would recommend here for any kids who are struggling to relax getting any treatments, they have made the whole experience so easy for us.

    Lorna Breakenridge

    Dental Nurse

    Lorna qualified with an SVQ Level 7 in Dental Nursing from Mentor Training in 2021. Lorna says her favourite aspect of working in dentistry is being able to put people at ease and make them feel comfortable (you’ll definitely have heard her singing along to the radio if you’ve been in surgery with her).

    She particularly enjoys working with children and helping them to overcome any fears they may have. In her spare time Lorna enjoys travelling, trying new foods and whilst she won’t admit it, she’s a karaoke queen (her rendition of The real Slim Shady is really something to behold).

    She says her greatest achievement to date is passing her driving test at the start of 2023, much to the relief of her parents and Pam who were having to drive her to/from work every day.

    Hazel Hannigan

    Dentist

    Hazel graduated with Honours from Glasgow Dental School in 2010, receiving the Dean Webster and Lord Provost prizes for being the highest performing student in her year. In 2012 she became a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow after completing her MFDS examinations. 

    She then spent some time in the public dental services, focussing on the treatment of children, anxious patients and those with additional support needs, before working as a general dental practitioner in practices based in Alexandria and Airdrie.

    In July 2016, Hazel and her husband, Pearse, established Hannigan Dental Care, making the leap from associates to principal dentists. Hazel has lots of experience treating anxious patients, having logged hundreds of hours of sedation over her career, but she says she especially enjoys treating children, even more so since becoming a mum herself.

    She believes forging good relationships with children as early as possible helps prevent dental anxieties ever developing and feels very lucky to be in a position where she can see families regularly and watch children grow and develop year on year. Out with clinical dentistry, Hazel is the vice chair of the Lanarkshire Local Dental Committee, and also holds seats on Lanarkshire’s GP Subcommittee and Area Dental Advisory Committee, groups which represent NHS dentists in communications with the health board and Scottish Government. Hazel’s hobbies include baking, reading and walking and one day she hopes to have some free time to actually practice them again.
