About Sharon

Sharon Fyles is a Manchester-based expert dental writer specialising in periodontal diseases and their treatment.

She has been researching and writing about all things periodontal for years and while not a dentist by profession (she worked for years as a higher biomedical scientist within the NHS), she has enriched her knowledge in the field of dentistry through various short courses.

These courses covered foundational dental anatomy, the origins and effects of oral diseases, the science and technology behind dental implants, and the integral connection between dentistry and general medicine. These short courses, combined with her passion for reading papers about gum diseases, inform her writing and insights on the subject.

Not only does she have book-learned knowledge of all things periodontal she was diagnosed with periodontitis 15 years ago. She’s experienced the fear, shame and advanced treatments and is glad to report that with daily performed self-care and a healthy lifestyle, her periodontal disease is very well controlled.

Her first-hand experience of periodontal disease supports her passion for periodontal education for all.
