On this podcast recording I speak to Geoff Sharpe a periodontists from the UK currently living in Dubai. We speak extensively about the new periodontal classification.
Dr. Geoffrey Sharpe grew up in the north of England and graduated from Newcastle University School of Dental Sciences in 1998 with distinction in Restorative Dentistry.
After two years of General Professional Training, he achieved Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 2000. He continued to work within the National Health Service as a Senior House Officer at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Manchester Royal Infirmary. He held positions in Restorative Dentistry and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery before proceeding to full time general practice.
In 2003, Dr. Sharpe returned to Newcastle University to start his specialist training in periodontics. He graduated with a Master of Science in Restorative Dentistry in 2005 and achieved Membership in Restorative Dentistry (Periodontics) at The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2007. Throughout this time, he continued to apply his periodontal skills in private practice as a visiting specialist at a number of clinics in the United Kingdom.
In 2010, Dr. Sharpe was invited to join a renowned clinic in Dubai as their in-house periodontist. He held this role for seven years prior to creating The Perio Clinic in 2017. Until recently, he also held a part-time role at Mohammed Bin Rashid University in Dubai where he enjoyed teaching and mentoring the next generation of periodontists.
Dr. Sharpe lives in Dubai with his wife, Kim, and their one-year old son, William.
