Cosmetic dentist Doctor Ken Harris from Riveredge Cosmetic Dentistry, Low Street, Sunderland, has become a member of the John Kois Centre in Seattle after undergoing a series of exams and presentations – making him the only dentist in the UK to hold such a post.
Doctor Harris was once a student at the John Kois Centre and is now only the fifth dentist in Europe to pass the examinations. He said, 'It's a great honour as only the best graduates are invited to be teachers. As a northerner I only hope the Americans can understand me but I'm looking forward to working in both the UK and the States.'
Doctor Harris will be travelling 4,500 miles on a regular basis to teach at the centre and has been asked to write up his treatment and presentation for publication in the John Kois dental journal.
