Welcome to Mint Dental. We are a privately owned group of 3 NHS practices based in the lovely . All three practices have held the BDA Good Practice Award for the last 5 years.

Our main practice is in the large Cumbrian town of Barrow-In-. There has been a dental practice in the building since the 1890s.

The current owner Dr Julie Forde acquired the practice in 1996, ran it single-handedly until 2005, when she was joined by 2 associates. The practice continued to grow and expand to its present state; a very busy, mainly NHS practice with seven fully equipped modern surgeries accommodating 5 full- time, 3 part-time and 1 foundation dentist.

The practice in was opened in 2006, there are 3 surgeries, accommodating 1 full-time, 2 part-time and 1 foundation dentist. This central village practice which is located in the Lake District National Park again offers mainly NHS dental care. It is approximately 40 minutes drive from the Barrow practice and 25 minutes drive from the M6.

The Ambleside practice was opened in 2008 and has two surgeries with 1 full-time dentist. It is approximately 4 miles from the Windermere practice.

The foundation dentist will be splitting their time between the Windermere and Barrow practices. This offers access to a wide variety of patients and their needs broadening your dental experience.

My name is Dr Rachel Goggins and I graduated from the University of Manchester in 2007 and have also earned my MFDS qualification. I moved up to the lakes in 2009 and I have been enjoying my time here ever since. I started foundation training last year which has been a very positive experience for both my trainee and I.

The Lake District is an area world famous for its natural beauty with its unique and spectacular landscape that has inspired millions. This has resulted in the area becoming a globally acknowledged site for outdoor recreation, personal development and spiritual refreshment.

So are you ready for your Lake District adventure?
