Dentists, dental hygienists or dental practices in Essex are being sought for a national awards scheme.

People are being asked to make nominations for the awards, organised by The Probe and The Hygienist magazine in association with The British Dental Health Foundation.

Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of The British Dental Health Foundation said, "Nominations are being sought from the public to identify and reward a dentist, hygienist or dental practice that consistently provides excellent service. Judges will be looking for examples of outstanding or unusual levels of patient care."

The closing date for nominations is February 22. Nominations can be made by contacting Celine Peacock on 01322 611368 or e mail celine.peacock@nexusmedia.com
