Kerry is our super-friendly OHT who loves to make the Dentist fun for all ages. Kerry is no newcomer to the world of Dentistry…or Warragul Dental Care! Kerry started as a trainee dental assistant in 2006 under our previous owner Dr Lindsay Bishop.
Since then Kerry has been a Senior Dental Assistant, studied at LaTrobe University (claiming the Bendigo Oral Health and Dentistry Society Academic for her cohort) and is qualified with a Bachelor of Oral Health Science. Pretty busy hey? And that’s not all, she’s also worked in Stockholm (Sweden) learning the Swedish approach to Dentistry. Meatball anyone?
After all that Kerry has landed back where she began, at Warragul Dental Care, and we couldn’t be happier. Becoming an Oral Health Therapist was a natural progression for Kerry as she enjoys expanding her skills and educating patients about the importance of preventative dentistry.
The thing Kerry loves most about her job is working with nervous patients and kids. She makes it her mission to show how relaxed the Dentist can be and always makes it a fun and positive experience. Kerry enjoys making appointments interactive for her younger patients. It goes down a treat with our mini VIP’s and helps them understand the importance of great oral hygiene.
When she’s not helping people have tons of fun at the Dentist, Kerry loves to head to Gumbuya World with her family and hang out with her dog Marley and two cats Shadow and Baby Cat. She also loves a trip to the Big City to visit the zoo or kick back in Gold Class at the cinema. Her perfect end to a Melbourne day out is heading to Lygon Street to sample all the delicious food.
And can you guess Kerry’s favourite film? She’s a loyal Aussie for sure. It’s ‘The Castle’! Kerry says it’s hilarious and a true classic. We can’t argue with you there!
