- Meet The Team
Meet our team of professionally trained staff here. We want to be your family's dental home.
Welcome
At Mullingar Dental Centre we believe it's important that all members of your family are cared for to a high standard, whatever their age. Your children need to have regular preventive care to enable them to grow up with disease free mouths, and to allow them to keep their teeth for life.
We encourage parents to bring their children in as soon as their first tooth appears. We're always here to offer advice regarding your child’s oral health and we often post tips on our Facebook page which you can follow here. By involving parents in prevention, we can fight against dental disease more effectively. Toys and books are available in reception for younger children.
We promise you a friendly welcome to each visit. We know it can be hard to pluck up the courage to call the dentist, especially if you haven't been in years. When you call us, you’ll hear a sympathetic and friendly voice. And when you come in, we’ll do everything to make you feel relaxed and at home. Many patients tell us they worry about visiting the dentist. That's why we explain exactly what we do before, during and after each treatment.
More about us
Here's our professional team to support you. All of our dentists are registered with the Irish Dental Council and adhere to the rules and guidelines as laid down by the Council .
Dr Anne O’Donnell
Clinical Director
Anne graduated from Cork Dental School a number of years ago – “more years than I care to remember” – and has had her own practices for a long time.
Anne constantly attends courses and training to further her skills and to improve her patient’s dental experience. She strongly believes that new technologies are making the experience so much better for her patients, so she feels it’s her duty to stay up-to-date on all the newest advances.
Anne always aims to provide gentle, painless dental care which is centred on the whole person – “I treat people not teeth!” – Anne’s particular interests include teeth straightening, cosmetic work (including crowns) and treating children.
Anne loves to see how transforming someone’s smile and improving their oral health can have a positive impact on their lives.
Outside of work, Anne is married and has three young adult children. She loves walking, reading, food and travel…but not all at once!

She treats her patients with the same energy and enthusiasm, and is a real champion for oral health and overall health. Patients who sometimes put off hygiene visits because of bad experiences in the past are always pleasantly surprised with their visit to Donna. We plan to introduce the painfree EMS airflow and piezon scaling system shortly which will make the experience even better!
Donna has recently trained with Oravital, the Canadian system for treating gum disease, and patients will see huge benefits from this.
