Spotlight
one of the best in his field. He was, and still is, a very stable influence in my life and I wish I were more like him, with his enviable calm and gentle approach to almost everything. He takes his time and is genuine and kind to everyone he meets and is still the same now with me and my children. Thanks Big Al. PB – There is no one stand-out per- son that has influenced my career. However, I have been lucky enough to have worked with some excellent dentists in some great practices from the time I left university in Glasgow.
If you could relocate your practice to any time or place, where would it be? DM – I would move it 200 years into the future because I would love to know the long-term effects of the dentistry we do now. In the future, will they laugh or even cry about what we do now? Will today’s techniques stand the test of time and re- main in some form for many years? Alter- natively, would dentistry even still exist as it does today, or would they have found some completely new method to solve the issues associated with oral health care? As the practice is in Ayr, however,
I would most certainly raise my practice another four metres above sea level. PB – Although Ayrshire is lovely, I could easily be persuaded to move to some- where hotter and drier. Possibly in a time where the powers that govern have developed a little more common sense regarding dentistry in general practice.
Favourite film? DM – The original Highlander. If noth- ing else, I watch it for the soundtrack. Unfortunately, all sequels and spin- offs have been absolutely rubbish. PB – I thought The Dark Knight was a bit of a modern classic.
Favourite tipple of an evening? DM – Ice cold beer in all its shapes and wondrous forms! PB – A glass of full-bodied red wine, or bubbles if the occasion lends itself.
Favourite food? DM – Marmite and butter on brown toast (butter and marmite must go on hot toast) with a glass of fresh orange juice. Manna from heaven. PB – Sunday roast – nothing beats it.
