Anita Tan

DENTAL HYGIENIST & ORAL HEALTH THERAPIST

Anita is known for her gentle hands, thorough care, and calm, non-judgmental presence. Whether you’ve been coming in regularly or it’s been years since your last clean, Anita’s approach is always the same: she wants you to feel comfortable, informed, and supported without any pressure or guilt.

She works especially well with nervous or hygiene-avoidant patients and takes the time to explain each step so people can feel safe and in control. Many patients leave feeling pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and gentle the appointment was.

At Switch

Anita focuses on preventive care and gum health, including the connection between oral health and overall wellbeing such as heart disease and diabetes. She genuinely enjoys helping people understand the reasons behind their oral health needs and seeing how small changes at home can create noticeable improvements over time.

While hygiene is her main focus, she is also exploring further interest in TMJ disorders and the therapeutic use of Botox, with plans to expand her clinical skills in the future.

Outside Switch

Born and raised in Wellington, Anita enjoys playing volleyball and spending quiet evenings with her partner and their much-loved Samoyed, Appa.
