Melena Mehrtens

Melena has recently relocated to Australia from New Zealand and now calls Palm Beach home.

She has been in the dental industry for over 10 years, starting as a dental assistant when she left school, Melena has worked in both the public and private sector in New Zealand. She then went on to study a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in Oral Health and graduated in 2019 as an Oral Health Therapist. Since graduating, Melena has spent most of her career in the public sector and has a passion for paediatric dentistry and loves working with children and adolescence. Melena believes having positive dental expenses from a young age helps set your children up to have better oral health throughout their life.

Currently, she has been focusing on Hygiene and working with adults, helping to improve their oral health and educate on gum health and periodontal diseases. She always strive to make her patients as comfortable as possible, especially when it comes to nervous dental patients.

When Melena isn't at work, you can often find her out exploring her new home with her dog Daisy.
