Daylan, our Oral Health Therapist (OHT) embarked on his career in oral health care at La Trobe University Bendigo, earning his Bachelor of Oral Health Science with extended adult scope in 2010. This qualification enables him to provide a wide variety of treatments including examinations, tooth cleaning and fillings, for both children and adults. He has more than 10 years experience as an Oral Health Therapist in private dental practices in Melbourne. 

In his role as an OHT, Daylan has dedicated himself to delivering exceptional care to his patients.

This collaborative effort guarantees that our patients consistently receive the highest standard of care. Daylan’s warm demeanour creates an environment where patients feel comfortable and at ease.

Daylan recognises the critical role OHTs play in promoting oral health and providing preventive and therapeutic dental care for children. With a dedicated focus on early intervention and education, he works closely with children and their parents to achieve optimal oral health outcomes.
