In 2002 I found what was then Ringrose and Wright, a small, family dental practice in Ipswich, Suffolk.  I had been working for five years in large practice in North Essex, where I gained the experience and knowledge and skills to move on and grow.  Like all young dentists of the time, I wanted to be my own boss and owning my practice was the next big step.

I found R&W as they were retiring and made the purchase.  This was a very big deal to me and started with doing everything myself.  Decorating, dentistry, planning, HR, wages, ordering and managing the business.

I want to use this year and this blog to talk and remember this small little business and the influence it has had on mine and my family’s lives.  The people who built it and staffed it.  i would like to meet anyone who was either a patient or staff member of Ringrose and Wright or now Christchurch, to hear their stories.

So Christchurch Dental Practice is 15 years old this year.
