Krista is married and has a teenage son, 4 year old twins, two dogs and a cat. She enjoys crafts and “cricketing”, cooking, cake decorating, photography and parenting. Her greatest fear is spiders. An interesting fact about Krista is that amblyopia prevented her from pursuing a career as a dentist so she directed her career into dental management and was then blessed with unexpected successful surgery that corrected her vision as an adult.

Her knowledge of all aspects of dentistry is unsurpassed!
