Dr. Helena Mello has always been fascinated by dentistry. At eight years old, she was mesmerized by the materials and equipment in her dentist’s office during her visits. Then, growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, she found a love for science that would further fuel her passion for the profession. Now in her dream career, Dr. Mello finds another reason to love dentistry—taking care of her patients.

Aside from dentistry, Dr. Mello also loves everything about her home country, Brazil. She’s fluent in Portuguese and loves visiting family while on vacation.
