Our team
Dentist
Dr Emer Walshe
(BA, B.Dent.Sci (Hons) TCD)
Dr Walshe graduated with an honours degree in Dental Science from the Dublin Dental University Hospital (DDUH) at Trinity College Dublin in 2009. She subsequently worked as a house officer in the DDUH for one year. Following this, she spent almost two years working as a senior house officer in oral and maxillofacial surgery in Guildford, Surrey in the UK. This allowed her to develop her skills in oral surgery and management of acute dental and facial pain. She obtained her membership of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 2011.
Dr Walshe enjoys all aspects of dentistry, especially minor oral surgery, as well as treating children and anxious patients. She is an active member of the Irish Dental Association and is fully registered with the Irish Dental Council. She regularly attends postgraduate courses and conferences.

Hygienist
Catherine Doherty
Catherine began her career in dentistry as a dental nurse, qualifying from Trinity College Dublin in 2015. She subsequently worked in a dental practice in Galway for two years. She enjoyed working in a clinical setting but felt she wanted to have a more active role in treating patients. Thus, she returned to college to study Dental Hygiene in University College Cork and graduated in 2019. She has been working at Erris Dental since then.
Catherine enjoys working as a hygienist and finds it extremely rewarding educating her patients on oral hygiene and personalising a plan to suit their individual needs. She is fully registered with the Irish Dental Council and the Irish Dental Hygienist’s Association.
