“The best part about being an oral health therapist is seeing patients return for their appointments with improved oral hygiene, better understanding of oral health and an improved self-esteem. I remember attending to a child who had a phobia of being at the dentist.  

She refused treatment and even bit my hand during examination.   It took time/months for me to establish a trusting relationship with her and she eventually enjoyed visiting the dental clinic.   It gave me great joy to be able to help her to conquer her fears.”
