Our highly experienced dental hygienist and oral health therapist, is a tertiary qualified allied health professional who works within a structured professional relationship assisting the dentist.

Cleaning was traditionally provided by the dentist as well as oral health education and dental therapy duties. However, due to the importance of these areas of treatment there has been a shift towards specialised professionals who are able to spend more time with patients and their individual needs.

A dental hygienist will provide gentle but effective cleaning of teeth and gums as well as educating you in the prevention of oral disease and general advice for a healthy mouth.

As an oral health therapist, dental therapy duties, which include dental examination, x-ray diagnosis, fillings, fissure sealants, tooth extraction as well as advice on correct diets for optimal dental health for children and adolescents, can also be carried out.
