Dr Tharini Hettiarachchi

Tharini graduated from the University of Queensland with honours in 2014. She joined Nauv’s practices where here keenness for extractions and surgical procedures grew further under the mentorship of Nauv and his associates. She also greatly expanded her skills on the little practical experience in paediatric dentistry that she had at university. She treats anxious patients and enjoys helping them overcome their fear enough to become comfortable to return. She finds the collaborative nature of this group the most beneficial in treatment planning and discussion of every day dentistry with like-minded dentists.

She likes to balance her time as much as possible outside of dentistry, by spending time with her family and friends and getting outdoors as often as possible. She does Pilates and yoga not only to stay healthy, but to help keep her body aligned with the poor posture that can sneak up when practicing dentistry.
