We would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest team member Michelle Keen.
Michelle is originally from Canberra and has been working in the dental field since 2013 as a qualified Dental Assistant. While Michelle found being a Dental Assistant a fulfilling career, she was interested in furthering her education and, in 2019, moved to Adelaide. Michelle attended TAFE South Australia and graduated with her Advanced Diploma of Oral Health in 2020.
After graduating, Michelle moved back to Canberra and was keen to start putting her new skills to good use. She began practicing as a Dental Hygienist in 2021, but she felt she would prefer to live in a warmer state, deciding to move later that year. Michelle subsequently relocated to our beautiful and warmer Sunshine Coast, where she is closer to her partner and can join our dedicated dental team at Beerwah Dental.
Michelle has a profound passion for oral health and finds it enormously rewarding when she helps patients achieve optimal dental health, preventing oral diseases. She has a very gentle touch and is extremely easy to talk to, and always welcomes patients’ questions about their oral health. Like everyone here, Michelle firmly believes in patient education, giving people the right knowledge to look after their teeth and gums at home between dental visits. She is excellent at explaining dentistry in a very clear and easy way for everyone to understand.
When not here at Beerwah Dental, Michelle gives rein to her adventurous spirit and loves to explore nature and stays active and healthy. Her other hobbies include listening to music, and she enjoys escaping into a good book and always welcomes patient recommendations.
