Amber trained in New Zealand as an Oral Health Therapist and is now happy to call Ingham home.
In her role as a hygienist Amber helps people keep all of the structures that support the teeth healthy. Hygiene maintenance is also an important factor in overall body health and should be a part of a holistic healthcare regime.
As a therapist Amber also sees children under 18 for all basic dental care. She has a special interest in how the airway, muscles and habits effect oral development.
She has also 2 little boys of her own that keep her very busy while not in practice!
