Chris qualified in Dentistry in 1997 from the University of Bristol and has worked in North Devon ever since. He worked in general practice until 2011 and spent three of those years training new graduates on the vocational training scheme. In 2003 he started working part-time as an orthodontic assistant at Total Orthodontics Barnstaple. In 2013 he achieved the Diploma in Primary Care Orthodontics. Chris is a keen cyclist and golfer and plays bass guitar in the popular local band ‘Low Tide Theory’. In the evenings, under the clear Devon skies, he indulges in the some (very) amateur astronomy.
