Yamuna Marshall B.H.Sc. (Oral Health)

Yamuna works with our patients under the age of 18 and collaborates closely with our dental practitioners in making prevention of disease a priority. She enjoys working to improve oral health through education, treatment and maintenance. Outside of work she loves being a mother and is often found in the kitchen preparing nutritious meals for her family.
