Senior Oral Health Therapist
Melissa White, My Dentist Blackwood’s Senior Oral Health Therapist, brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to her role. Graduating with a Bachelor of Oral Health degree from the University of Adelaide in 2004, Melissa’s outstanding academic achievement was recognised with awards for excellence. Her commitment to lifelong learning led her to complete postgraduate studies in 2019, extending her scope of practice to include examinations and restorative care for adults.
With a career that spans both public and private dental practices, Melissa’s contributions to the field are further enriched by her role as a Lecturer at the University of Adelaide Dental School in the Faculty of Oral Health Sciences. Her dedication to professional development ensures that she stays at the forefront of oral health care.

Outside of her professional life, Melissa enjoys the joys of motherhood with her three sons, exploring the outdoors, and playing netball. Her love for family and community is a reflection of her holistic approach to oral health.
