Sean is an incredibly caring OHT, want to know why? Because he grew up in a family that had dental anxiety and avoided the Dentist, so he knows exactly how you feel. In fact, Sean grew up not knowing what happens in a Dental clinic at all – that didn’t stop him though. Nope, Sean was intrigued. After finishing his Bachelor of Science he decided to explore being an Oral Health Therapist only to discover he’d found something he truly loved.
Sean says, ‘my awareness of dental anxiety growing up has gifted me with a unique understanding of how my patients feel.’ Now Sean holds a Bachelor of Science in Physiology from Monash University and a Bachelor of Oral Health Science from La Trobe University AND a job he really loves. Hurray for us!
Sean tells us that the best part of his job is changing patient’s outdated perceptions of what dental is and showing them what a great experience it is now. He also loves building a rapport with his patients – so expect to stay a while and have a lovely natter!
On weekends, Sean likes to stretch his legs on rambling nature walks, fit in a little workout, enjoy a coffee with friends, and listen to live music (such a treat after COVID!). He also has a touch of wanderlust after travelling around Europe when he was a student and would love to travel more. Just don’t stay away too long, Sean!
