A new dentist has started working in \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. Christian Lee is a 27-year-old Englishman who graduated in 2016 from the University of Manchester. He has since worked in Manchester and Liverpool in general dentistry.<\/p>\n

Christian takes over from Sigurj\u00f3n Gu\u00f0mundsson who left some time ago due to age. It was announced last summer<\/a> among dentists in Europe and Christian was one of many who applied for the position.<\/p>\n

"I am very excited about this opportunity," says Christian. "I wanted to change, move from a city to a rural area and thus get to both a different society and also a different kind of dentistry. When I saw the video, I was quick to submit my resume. Outdoor activities and hunting of various kinds are among my hobbies, and I am fascinated by the country and the people."<\/p>\n

"It's great to have Christian take over the chair and my patients," says outgoing dentist Sigurj\u00f3n. "We are similar in many ways, I was also 27 years old and single when I arrived, with my belongings in one bag, a box of books and a blanket in a bag. Hopefully he will do as well here as I did."<\/p>\n

The intervention of the Vestfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Health Institute<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dental services are on the private market in Iceland. The Vestfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Health Institute therefore has no formal role in the provision of dental services. The only official approach is that the dental offices at the health centers in \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and Patreksfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur are rented to independent dentists. However, it is the case that in the 2030 health policy, the CEO is made the district health director within his region. "We want to do our part in maintaining the good dental health of the population. In this context, I also want to convey that the dental office in Patreksfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is available for rent, those interested should definitely get in touch with me," says CEO Gylfi \u00d3lafsson.  <\/p>\n

Vidar Konr\u00e1\u00f0sson is still working in the next room next to Christian, who has already started work. Sigurj\u00f3n has been helpful in the first few days so that everything goes well.<\/p>\n

You can make an appointment at 456 3737.<\/p>\n
