Greta J Compton Dental Hygienist Dip.DH RSCEd.

I graduated from Leeds Dental Institute 2002 with a diploma awarded by

The Royal College Surgeons Edinburgh  & have always been dedicated to lifelong learning.

The “Portland Street Dental & Implant Clinic” in Aberystwyth, is a Centre of Excellence for GBT treatment & was the first to open in Wales in 2021.

I have the privilege of working along side a dedicated team & wonderful colleagues.

We are proud to also support NHS dentistry & can provide home visits to patients unable to attend the surgery when needed.

My specialist interest is Nutrition for Sport & Exercise, Exercise is Medicine, Exercise is Medicine for Cancer, Nutrition & Lifestyle medicine which covers the six pillars of health including physical activity, nutrition, sleep, mental wellbeing, positive social connections, & reducing harmful behaviours which they are now teaching in welsh schools.

I also have a specialist interest in high performance sport, disordered eating, REDS, immune & gut health, injury prevention & reduction using nutritional strategies & the athletes general health, wellbeing & of course their dentition.

I can provide tooth friendly options for those that wish to fuel that way or make them as tooth friendly as possible but at elite level this is not always possible & may increase the risk of injury, impair immunity & reduce sports performance.

I can assist in the management of type II diabetes reversal particularly in borderline cases or early diagnosed disease and can work with your GP & Specialist Personal trainer to formulate a nutrition & exercise plan that works for you.
