BOH (Qld), Dental Hygienist and Dental Therapist
Ms Michelle J Dunnett is a female Dental Hygienist and Dental Therapist.
I graduated from the University of Queensland in 2009 with a Bachelor of Oral Health. Prior to joining National Dental Care in Byron Bay in 2014, I worked as a full time Therapist and Hygienist in private practices throughout Brisbane including Tony Weir Orthodontics, Smile Central, and Mary’s Dental Practice. I have always had a keen interest in health and the human body, and found my passion for dentistry after graduating high school and working as a Dental assistant, and no matter what I do, I have always found myself drawn back to dentistry. I left a full-time position in 2005 as a dental assistant to backpack through Europe for 7 months, and upon returning home began a Bachelor of Nursing at the Australian Catholic University in 2006. In 2007 I decided to switch to studying dental hygiene instead. Working with great mentors and building close bonds with work colleagues and patients inspired me to further my qualifications within the field. I enjoy all aspects of my role, but most importantly love working with people and being able to treat children. Working for NDC in Byron Bay I am very fortunate not only to be surrounded by such lovely staff but also by such amazing surroundings. All the staff at Byron have been so friendly and welcoming. I love being able to unwind after work with a walk around the Byron Bay headland. In my spare time, I like to keep fit and active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
