About

Get to know Richelle

Hi my name is Richelle

I have worked in the Dental Industry for the past 25 years. I started as a chair side nurse then went on to become a Hygienist.

I have been married to my husband Shaun for the past 20 years and have been a couple since we were aged 15 at High school. We have 4 beautiful children aged between 13-25 years of age.

I enjoy music and dancing. I am a keen gardener, and keep a very clean home, I might be just a little OCD and maybe this is what makes me such a good hygienist.

I have a happy easy-going personality with a quick wit sense of humor. I enjoy making people laugh with my funny little stories. I find ‘laughter’ a great form of medicine for the nervous and sometimes anxious patient.

I understand that most people don’t ‘love’ coming to the dentist, but my personal goal is for every patient to walk out feeling better than when they walked in.

Oral Health is what I do and it’s important to me that I help my patients also to have a clear understanding of what is happening in their own mouths, so we can work together as a team to keep you healthy.

I am honest, kind, caring, respectful, and totally passionate about what I do. It’s important to me not to just be your hygienist, but to become a friend in your journey to good Oral Health.

I love what I do, and I do what I love.
