Dental Hygienists

Hygienists are involved in the preventative care of the oral environment

This care can range from the prevention of disease right through to the detection of potential problems in the future, such as cracks in teeth that may turn into breakages.

Dental Hygienists are the ‘glue’ that holds our Preventative Maintenance Department together. With their knowledge, kind manner and gentle hands, they ensure patients want to come back for their regular Hygiene Maintenance appointments and therefore supporting long term health of the oral environment and maintenance of dental treatment.

Meet our Dental Hygiene Team who are committed to ensure your total oral health. Our patients have such different situations and it’s important they all have hygiene care that is designed specifically for them. Our Hygienists and Oral Health Therapists will tailor a Hygiene Maintenance Plan that will support you in keeping your smile healthy and clean, no matter what kind of dental treatment you have received.

Renee Hill – Dental Hygienist

Career History:

I have been in the dental industry for over 30 years, working as a dental assistant before completing a Diploma of Dental Hygiene in 2004. Prior to joining Lidums Dental, I have worked in a variety of general practices in Melbourne and Adelaide, and spent some years  teaching Bachelor of Oral Health at the University of Adelaide.

My dream is to make a significant impact on people’s dental experience and health outcomes. There’s nothing I enjoy more than building relationships with people.

Currently, I am studying Teaching & Assessment to fulfil my goal of learning new skills and to be more involved in outcomes.
