Teresa Mahlo, Bachelor of Oral Health and Hygiene, B.O.H

Oral Health Therapist

Teresa started at Orange Family Dental in 2023. 

Teresa was raised in Wagga Wagga, where she pursued her studies at Charles Sturt University, earning a degree in Psychology. During her final year, she met her husband, who was studying dentistry. After relocating to Orange with him, she worked as a counsellor for a year but soon realized it was not her calling. Consequently, she returned to Charles Sturt University to study Oral Health Therapy, where she received an exclusive Dean's Award for Academic Excellence in 2020. Teresa has now resided in Orange for nearly nine years and feels very much at home. 

Teresa has found immense joy in her role as an Oral Health Therapist. Her passion for working with young children and educating them on oral hygiene has only grown stronger over the years. With her warm and friendly demeanour, Teresa effortlessly makes each appointment a fun and educational experience for her young patients.

When Teresa is not at work she enjoys spending time with her two labradors, gardening, spending time with friends and family and playing touch football.
