At Bell Hill Dental, our dedicated oral health therapists are a vital part of our clinical team. With comprehensive education in dental therapy and hygiene, they provide expert care that is a valuable asset to both our practice and the Dunedin community.
What Does an Oral Health Therapist Do?
Our oral health therapists play a vital role in maintaining and improving your oral health. They focus on preventative care, working closely with patients to help them avoid complex dental issues. Their work includes:
- Dental Therapy — Providing care for children and adolescents, including examinations, fillings and oral health education.
- Dental Hygiene — Performing cleanings, treating gum disease and educating patients on maintaining optimal oral hygiene at home.
The approach of our oral health therapists is both gentle and personalised. By understanding each patient’s individual needs, they help you achieve your oral health goals and guide you to take control of your dental care through healthy hygiene practices.
A Preventative Approach to Oral Health
Our philosophy is simple: prevention is better than cure. By making patients aware of their current oral health and educating them on the best practices for home care, our therapists help lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Their gentle manner makes them a favourite among patients, especially children who may be visiting the dentist for the first time.
Dedicated to the Dunedin Community
