My Story
My passion for preventative children’s dentistry started when I was just a child myself. It was in the school dental van, where I had fun, memorable experiences and learnt so much about my teeth, that this flame was stoked. I also watched my mum have to have two of her front teeth removed, which was really upsetting for all of us, and I wished there was something that was done to prevent this from happening and that I could have helped.
During my teens, I did a little bit of dental assisting after school and on weekends. Once I finished high school, I went straight into university and studied a Bachelor of Oral Health and knew I was in the right place when I had my first placement in the school dental van. I loved the positive impact I could have on these kids and their oral health and have known children’s preventive dentistry is my biggest purpose ever since.
Who knows, maybe along my journey, I’ll inspire the next generation of Oral Health Therapists who believe in wholistic preventive dentistry, as much as I do.
When I’m not talking about teeth, I’ll probably be talking about my cats, the latest yoga routine I did, or the outdoor adventures I’ve recently been on!

What is an Oral Therapist?
Oral Health Therapists (combined dental therapists and hygienists) are registered oral health practitioners who provide primary oral health care for children and adults. This includes, but is not limited to; examining and diagnosing dental decay and gum diseases, as well as providing routine dental treatments. They also promote oral health and provide preventive dental services among individuals and the broader community.
Oral Health Therapists (OHT) are registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Agency), have Professional Indemnity Insurance and provider numbers, so you can rest assured that you’re receiving quality dental care from a registered professional.
