Dr. Jolene: Helping patients see that dentists aren’t so scary after all!
Dr. Jolene: The most complex procedures in dentistry usually involve aesthetics which is subjective. Everyone has different opinions on what looks good and what doesn’t. Moreover, the perfectly shaped pearly whites of a celebrity may not suit everyone. While it is a challenge, I enjoy partnering with patients to reach their desired smile.
Dr. Jolene: The ability to communicate with patients about treatment needs to achieve optimal oral health for them. Dentistry is not a one way deliverance of treatment but a two-way partnership in which communication is key.
Dr. Jolene: Having worked in diverse clinical settings (rural, urban, Aboriginal, local), it has allowed me to meet and serve people from all walks of life.
Dr. Jolene: It takes me to New Zealand without having to hop on the plane :p
Dr. Jolene: A typical work day starts off with breakfast with my husband then going to work to serve our patients. After work, we would have dinner together and read in bed if we have nothing else planned for that night.
Dr. Jolene: My mum – she is a super mum who is dedicated to her work and family. She works tirelessly round the clock, willing to spend and be spent for everyone.
Dr. Jolene: I decided to become a dentist after I shadowed a few dentists at their clinics. I realised that dentistry is fun (not scary) and that dentists have a unique skill that can be used to serve the underprivileged with.
Dr. Jolene: It was great! My dentist gave me a HUUUGE smiley tooth sticker for being well-behaved and for keeping my teeth clean. I wore the sticker on my shirt proudly for the whole day.
Dr. Jolene: I enjoy singing and am currently reading a book on that: Then Sings My Soul by Philip Percival
