OUR STAFF - Ms Emily Jones

Emily became a dental hygienist so she could work in the field of orthodontics. When she had braces, she also saw a hygienist, who made her visits more fun. Emily likes to have fun, but most of all she likes to achieve the best possible outcome for the patients.

Emily completed her Diploma of Oral Health Therapy in Dental Hygiene at The University of Melbourne. Since graduating, she has worked exclusively in orthodontic practice. She has also taught the skills required to work in an orthodontic clinic to dental therapists and hygienists at The University of Melbourne.

Having a hygienist in the practice enables us to increase the level of care that we provide our patients. We are able to deal with emergencies promptly, and can take time explaining aspects of treatment in detail. One of the most important aspects of a dental hygienists job is to monitor the patient’s oral hygiene. Emily checks the patient’s brushing at each visit, offers friendly advice if there are any problems, ensuring that at the end of treatment our patients have beautiful smiles, and healthy teeth and gums to go with it.
