Tanya@Thedoc Parklands, Blouberg  Verification Pending

I am an Independent practicing Oral Hygienist working at a GP practice (The Doc) in Parklands. Immediately following the completion of High School, I started my career in Dentistry as a dental assistant with Dr PW Marais (Panorama Dental). After 4 years I enrolled for full time studies at the University of the Western Cape. During the 3rd year of my studies , I was awarded with a Tinbergen scholarship to take part in a student exchange program at the Hogenschool of Arnhem en Nijmegen Fakulteit Tandheelkunde in Netherlands. After qualifying with a Bachelors degree in Oral Health i started working in the South African National Defense Force.

My position was both that of a Health Care Practitioner and a Military Officer advancing to the rank of Captain. During my over 15 years of service, I have received numerous commendations which include: 4 Gold and 4 Silver awards for service delivery and teamwork, and also several merit certificates and a General Officer commanding appreciation certificate. During my service to the department of defense I also studied part-time and completed a post graduate qualification in education (Grades R-3 primary school). Needing a new challenged I have decided to register as an Independent practicing Oral Hygienist and start my own practice. I completed the latest (2013 expanded functions) qualification which includes teeth whitening and sealant restorations in April 2017.

Having established my practice in Parklands (tanya@thedoc) in 2018, I am hoping to build a strong reputation for Oral Hygienists practicing independently and render a valuable Primary Oral Health Care Service to the community around me.
