Hi, I’m Sarah, a returning face to The good dentist. I am from Worcester in the UK, but recently made my return back to Newcastle, I was missing the good coffee, the beaches and Garreth’s terrible dad Jokes! When I am not working you will definitely find me with an almond cappuccino down by the beach watching the world go by.
