Carike Kelbrick

Originally from South Africa, Carike grew up on a game farm before beginning her dental career in England as a Dental Assistant. After 17 years working in dentistry, she returned to university to pursue her long-held goal of becoming an Oral Health Therapist, graduating from the University of Otago.

Carike has lived in five different countries, bringing a wealth of life experience and a genuine appreciation for connecting with people from all walks of life. She is passionate about helping patients feel comfortable and supported while providing high-quality preventative and oral health care.

Fun fact: Carike enjoys cooking and baking, although she will be the first to admit that her baking skills don’t always live up to her enthusiasm!
