Dr O’Loghlen was awarded the honour for the care he provided to a traumatised teenager out-of-hours after the teen lost his two front teeth in a fall.
Hosted by the Irish Dental Association (IDA) and Colgate, the annual awards celebrate dentists that have provided dental treatment and care over and above expectations, often with transformative effects, as nominated by patients and the public.
IDA President, Dr Clodagh McAllister, said: “What makes these awards so special is that it is patients sharing their personal stories, shining a spotlight on the incredible commitment and care that dentists are providing every day in the communities that they serve.”
