The cosmetic dentist wowed our readers after she sat down with HELLO! for an interview back in April, where she talked about the demands of her job and relaxing after a long day. She said: “I always make time for a massage once a week, but I’ve come to realize that it’s not just a luxury. As a busy dentist, I spent a full 10 hours a day looking into people’s mouths, so a massage is a necessity.
