| |  Louis Ngo qualified as a dental therapist and hygienist (UniMelb) two years ago. He works at The Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne and is continuing his studies in oral health part-time. “The way I look at it, there’s plenty of time to go and earn a lot of money if that’s what you want to do. While I’m young and have the flexibility, I want to learn as much as I can, get varied clinical experiences, work with different people and really prepare myself for being the future of oral health care.” “The public dental sector gives me the opportunity to work with multi-disciplinary teams, to access resources and personnel that help me to be at the leading edge in my field, and to perform excellent quality clinical work.” | |
