BSc (Melb), DDS (Melb), General Dentist
Dr Rachel Etzion is a female General Dentist who speaks Hebrew (as well as English).
I was drawn to dentistry as an intersection between art and science. I have always wanted to work with people, but also wanted a trade, something that I could do with my hands that could be both a creative outlet and also always be of use to people.
I graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). To stay abreast of the latest in the field, I take continuing education courses. I have particular interests in paediatric dentistry, preventative dentistry and general restorative dentistry.
The most rewarding aspect of my job is helping patients relax and overcome their fears of dentistry. As dentists, we are in a sensitive and trusted position, and the process of gradually rebuilding a patient’s confidence in dentistry and in themselves is one of the most fulfilling parts of the job.
