Tanya Skuse-CowellTanya Skuse-Cowell, Dental Hygienist

Tanya has been a valued member of our McIntyre team since 1989.
Initially, as a dental assistant with us, Tanya quickly realised her passion for dentistry and completed her study of Dental Hygiene, graduating in 1993. Ever since, she has loved her career and the opportunity she has to help people improve and maintain their oral health. Tanya finds her position extremely rewarding, especially when she can help patients overcome anxiety. She is prevention focused and strives to create a relaxed yet thorough appointment. Tanya has lectured and tutored both dental hygiene students, as well as dental therapy students in Adelaide. When Tanya isn’t maintaining smiles in the practice, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren, on the Yorke Peninsula enjoying her peaceful back porch view. Tanya also enjoys musical theatre, walking on the beach and yoga. She is an active participant in local charities including Beyond Blue, Catherine House, Share the Dignity and Backpacks 4 SA Kids Inc.

Tanya is available to see patients Monday/Tuesday.

Madeline completed her Bachelor of Oral Health at the University of Adelaide in 2013, and has worked at McIntyre Dental ever since graduating.

As an adult, she explored ways to contribute to oral health during her time working first as a dental assistant and discovered her calling in the dental profession as an Oral Health Therapist. What Madeline values most about her role is the opportunity to assist individuals in taking control of their oral health. She finds fulfilment in guiding and educating patients to achieve optimal oral well-being. Recognising the ever-evolving nature of the dental field, Madeline actively engages in professional development, ensuring the highest standard of care for her patients.

This led to Brooke attending work experience at McIntyre Dental Clinic before moving interstate to begin her studies. Brooke finds satisfaction in building rapport with patients and providing them with the tools to practice effective oral care at home. Outside of the practice, Brooke enjoys socialising with family and friends, road trips with her husband, staying active and exploring new eateries.
