Hygienist Silvia Malancioiu
Silvia Malancioiu completed her Bachelor of Applied Science Oral Health degree at the University of Queensland in 2003. This qualifies her to work as a dental hygienist and oral health therapist.
Originally from Romania, Silvia arrived in Australia 15 years ago. Her first years were exciting and challenging; learning a new language, understanding and adapting to a new culture while raising her two children. It was through her casual job in a cosmetic surgery that Silvia realized that a career in health helping patients would bring her personal satisfaction.
At Coates Dental, together with the rest of the team, Silvia provides a warm, welcoming environment for our patients and tailors her dental hygiene treatment and education to best maintain patient oral health.
