Dr. Meriting Thokoane-Prosthodontist, Traditional Healer

Dr. Meriting Thokoane is a prosthsodontist, lecturer and traditional healer. She is currently doing an MA in Maxillofacial Prosthetics Rehabilitation through Kings College in London.

We chatted about her path into dentistry. We touched on some of the technical and psychological aspects of her work. Many of her patients have terrible head and neck damage that require her specialised technical support, but who are also in deep psychological distress due to the nature of their injuries.

We chatted about the joy and fulfilment she gets from her patients and students alike.

Meriting also speaks about her journey to becoming a traditional healer and the strength she gets from that.
