Kriss Akabusi will take the stage on 12 December to compere the event, adding his exuberant personality and infectious laughter to proceedings.

Kriss's enthusiasm and attention to 'focus, innovation and teamwork' (FIT) when giving motivational speeches fit perfectly with the ethos of The Dentistry Awards.

Bringing together more than 600 people from all over the country, the awards celebrate passion, commitment and success throughout the dental profession.
