Samantha Forde

After graduating from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Oral Health in 2016, Samantha returned to Christchurch and has since worked full time in private practice.

She has a strong focus on prevention and long-term outcomes, helping patients build simple, effective habits that support their oral health beyond the clinic.

Samantha brings an encouraging and motivating approach to every appointment. She takes the time to guide patients through what they can do at home, offering clear, practical advice that feels achievable and easy to follow. Her goal is for every patient to leave feeling more confident about maintaining their oral health day to day.

Outside of work, she enjoys going to the gym, exploring new places to eat, and spending time with family and friends.
