Charlie Steward speaks to dental hygienist Stacianne Tennant about her previous experiences in Jamaican and American dentistry, and her role in developing the dental hygiene and therapy course at the University of Suffolk.
Stacianne Tennant emigrated to the UK with previous dental experience from Jamaica and on the American dental hygiene examination board. She’s a highly refined hygienist who’s at the top of her field in study and work and has a high ambition for the future of UK dental hygiene and dental public health.
Stacianne played an integral role in the facilitation of dental hygiene and therapy course at the University of Suffolk (UOS). Having worked with her as a tutor and mentor, I’ve grown significantly in both ability and confidence since my university induction.
