Tessa has been practicing as an Oral Health Therapist with us for over a year now. She is passionate about oral health education and preventative care. Her priority is to make her patients feel comfortable and at ease. It gives her great joy to establish a good working relationship with a patient and be able to help patients feel confident about their smile.

Separate from treating patients, Tessa is also a clinical supervisor for the University of Melbourne final year Bachelor of Oral Health Students. Every month Tessa also participates in an Outreach Rural Program that provides dental care and oral health education to a remote Aboriginal community.

Outside of work, Tessa is a food enthusiast and enjoys baking on her days off.
