Rylee Panui — Oral Health Therapist

Bachelor of Oral Health (Otago) | Dual Qualified Dental Therapist & Hygienist

Rylee is a dedicated, hard-working oral health therapist who is passionate about her role in the dental clinic. After finishing her Bachelors degree, Rylee worked in rural New Zealand, working specifically with Maori and Pasifica patients. Here she excelled in creating positive dental experiences for those who are anxious in clinical and dental environments. Rylee has a keen interest in health promotion and education and believes good oral health is achieved through a team approach. When she’s not working, Rylee spends most of her time with family and friends, keeping active at the gym or with her head down in a good novel.
