Marelize grew up in the beautiful South-Africa, in a small town, she moved to the city after school and obtained her bachelors degree in Dental Hygiene at the University of Pretoria.

By Marelize :
 

• “ My passion in dentistry is treating patients who are nervous due to previous experiences and breaking the stigma that dental cleanings are not a pleasant experience. I strive to give my patients a painless comfortable experience, allowing them to look forward to their routine hygiene sessions.

•  Education in dentistry is definitely the biggest preventative tool we have. Detailed explanation to our patients of their diagnosis and how to improve their condition is still being looked over. I have worked in many charities and community based programs in Africa. I was also running a project where I educated 8000 children and their providers on maintaining good dental hygiene habits from a young age. This project was rewarded the GHP oral health and dentistry international award 2018 for the Excellence award in Preventative dental health.

 



















 

• Something that lifts my mood: Coffee, it works every single time! To all my fellow coffee lovers: try to drink your coffee over short period of time, and to rinse with water to decrease the risk of teeth stains.

 

• My favorite book: since I am a first time mother 90% of my reading time is filled on child development books.

 

• A healthy habit I’d recommend is practicing gratitude everyday.

 

• Something that I absolutely avoid doing is overthinking! “Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life.”

 

• My real life hero is my husband! He’s my backbone and my biggest support!

 

 

• What is your greatest extravagance? I'd say my greatest extravagance is travel. I'd rather see the world and enjoy it than putting all my money in savings.
