Dr Christopher P Hardwicke is a male General Dentist.
Chris graduated form University College Dental School, University of London and has worked in the hospital system and private practice, after an initial period of employment in the NHS in the UK. He has lived and worked in the ACT for over 30 years.
“I grew up in a working class environment in the north of England and only appreciated the value of good dental health as I grew older. Since graduating, I have constantly looked for opportunities to develop my training and skills – so that I could provide quality dental care, in as caring an environment as possible. One of my early employers, encouraged me to treat each individual as if they were my nearest family – and I have always tried to do so.
My additional training and qualifications allows me to provide dental care under intravenous sedation and general anaesthesia, which is a huge advantage for nervous and apprehensive patients – who would otherwise avoid dental care. Later in my career, I developed an interest in sleep medicine, because of the impact that sleep has in our lives and how this can impact so many other areas of our general health and have been providing dental sleeping appliances to patients for well over 20 years. As someone who uses a dental sleeping appliance himself – I know what a change it can make to the quality of sleep and well-being.
