DENTAL NURSES

Our dental nurses are the best in the business and a pleasure to work with!

Debbie looks after our reception area and keeps our practice running smoothly, calmly, and efficiently. She coordinates treatments, laboratories, appointments, and makes a point of knowing all our patients’ progress so no one is forgotten. Debbie is also a qualified and extremely competent dental nurse and can answer many questions over the telephone or by email. Debbie tries really hard to arrange appointments that suit our patients’ busy schedules and keep us running on time.
Debbie is the proud mother of Danielle and James - an aspiring AFL football player and does not need too much prompting to divulge details. Her interests are looking after her family in her “spare” time.

Holly joined our practice in 2007 and is a most valuable member of our team. Holly gained her Certificate of dental nursing in 2007 and thoroughly enjoys getting to know our patients and relaxing them at the same time. She is a great chairside assistant and takes sterilisation and infection control extremely seriously. Holly is getting married this year and her hobbies include looking after her dogs and cat.

Erin has been an extremely valuable member of our nursing staff since 2006 and did her dental nursing training under our guidance in 2006 and 2007. Erin’s attention to sterilisation and infection control is second to none, and attention to detail during dental procedures makes her a great chairside assistant. Her eccentric sense of humour is worth getting to know! Erin’s interests are canine – the animal variety – and she enjoys keeping fit and healthy.

Melissa and Belinda keep our Saturday morning sessions running smoothly and lively. Both Melissa and Belinda have worked full-time at the practice for several years and now part-time with young families to care for.

They are delightful, caring and diligent, and each has a unique sense of humour.
