Dentists Dr Lisa & Dr Vanessa Creaven on family, life lessons and working with your sister

Dentists and founders of Spotlight Oral Care

Dr Lisa and Dr Vanessa Creaven, Spotlight Oral Care

Vanessa: I am the youngest of four siblings. All of us are dentists, unusually enough. Our parents weren’t dentists — our mum was a special needs assistant and our dad worked as an engineer with HP, but he also ran the farm. Our parents really worked hard and they instilled that hard work ethic in us.

I've always been a hard worker. I am determined, and I'm very competitive. I've always been that way — even when I try not to be.
