Belinda started her dental assistant career around 30 years ago after being asked to help at a dental clinic when they were short staffed, and since that day, she has never looked back. 🦷🪥
Belinda is now a senior dental assistant at the Kallangur Dental Clinic located at the Satellite Hospital, which supports dentists’ and orthodontists’ delivery of oral health care to many patients each day.
On average the Kallangur Dental Clinic sees around 450 adult patients each month.
"Having a good smile is very important to our patients as it can impact people's level of self-esteem and give them confidence required for daily tasks and also assists with their mental health and wellbeing," Belinda said. 😁

"I was on a ladder chopping down a tree when I lost balance and fell from a decent height. I woke up three hours later unable to move. I couldn't see, so asked Siri to call my brother, as my wife wasn't home. I was able to call 000 using Siri too. Siri saved my life! I was so close to going this time. I had a pulmonary embolism six years ago, and a stroke following that, and I was run over by a car when I was 12 - that makes four chances at life. I've been so lucky. I don't why me, but I am grateful."
