Belinda Hines

Dental Hygienist

I have gained over 10 years’ experience in the dental industry, starting my career as a dental assistant and then in 2015 obtained my bachelor degree in Oral Health from the University of Newcastle.

As a dental hygienist my role is to assist patients to optimum oral health through education, oral hygiene instruction, treatment of gingivitis and periodontal disease, as well as routine scale and cleans. With a focus on preventative care, I am committed to motivating and assisting patients to good oral hygiene habits and healthy smiles, working closely in conjunction with the dentists. I always encourage regular check-up and cleans’ so we can not only support you in routine maintenance but also detect changes to the oral environment early before they become more complex and destructive.

I am continually updating my skills and knowledge through continuing education to ensure I am up to date with current techniques, products and practices to provide the most holistic and utmost care to my patients.

Outside of dentistry I volunteer my time as a Girl Guide Leader and enjoy bushwalks and exploring the outdoors.
