Meet The Team

Hussain Ahmed

Having graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2003, I have gained much experience working as an NHS dentist both in England and Scotland.

Having been at the helm of Kelvin Smile Centre since 2013 I have been continually supported by an amazingly loyal and experienced dental team to provide a friendly, patient-centred experience to all of our patients.

Dr Hussain Ahmed BDS - Principal Dentist

Janice Baxter

I am a graduate of Glasgow University and subsequently obtained a Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. After graduation, I spent a year working as a House Officer in Oral Surgery & Oral Medicine at Glasgow Dental Hospital before moving to a busy A&E department in Brighton as a Senior House Officer in Oral Maxillofacial Surgery.

Following a year in London as the "in-house" dentist to Price Waterhouse Coopers, I moved back to Glasgow to establish this family dental practice in Maryhill. During this time I havetrained in facial aesthetics and am a skilled practitioner in the provision of anti-wrinkle treatments.

In 2013, as mum to a 2 year-old and newborn twins, I handed over the reins of Kelvin Smile Centre into the very capable hands of Dr Hussein Ahmed. I returned to the practice after maternity leave and continue to care for our lovely patients as an associate dentist.

Kirsty McLaughlin

I qualified as a dental nurse in 1994 but stopped dental nursing in 2003 to start my family and came back to the profession in 2015.

I was fortunate enough to win DCP of the year in 2018 through the Scottish Dental Awards.

I love spending time with my family and if I could I would have a houseful of pets.

Kirsty McLaughlin - Lead Dental Nurse

I am the newest member of the team. I joined Kelvin Smile in June 2022 and I am looking forward to starting my dental nurse journey here at Kelvin Smile Centre.

In my spare time I love to dance and ice skate, along with spending time with my family and friends.
