All Smiles
The fourth Scottish Dental awards was a real celebration of all that is great about Scottish dentistry
Hugh Harvie, Dental Protection’s former head of dental services in Scotland, picked up the lifetime achievement award on Friday 13 May at the fourth annual Scottish Dental Awards.
The event, which was hosted by Carol Smillie at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel, saw nearly 450 guests celebrate the great and the good of Scottish dentistry.
Harvie proved to be an immensely popular choice for the final award of the night after a 40-year career as a general dentist and lecturer before moving into the dento-legal world first as a dental adviser with MDDUS and then, in 2009, being appointed head of dental services in Scotland for Dental Protection.
Elsewhere it was a good night for Glasgow dentists as many of the main awards were awarded to west coast practices and practitioners. Whitecart Dental Care in Cathcart was named Practice of the Year, Colin Burns of mydentist Crow Road was named Dentist of the Year and Glasgow-based dental lab Porter Boyes won Laboratory of the Year.
