The solution has to come from within dentistry
Kate Miranda, Filling The Gap
We get into healthcare to help. Yet it is all too easy to find ourselves busy with work, family and other objectives and neglect our potential to give back.
I, unfortunately, fall into this space now.
But it is not as hard as we think, Filling the Gap, an ADA NSW charity, supports dentists in their efforts to volunteer their time. In combination with the Australian Dental Health Foundation, Filling The Gap makes Volunteering easy.
Adopt A Patient – help on patient through a course of care, in your clinic however often suits you. Or
Rescue days – run a relief of pain clinic in your office.
Two key ways to give back. And they need dentists, with the skills you have, NOW.
Go to www.fillingthegap.org.au to register your interest and find out more. If we all do a little, we can change a lot.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Kate Miranda from Filling The Gap. Kate is an asset to ADA NSW and Filling The Gap as a Journalist with years of experience in media and politics. She has quite the vision and I hope as a profession we can make it happen.

RIPE Academy
In this exceptionally difficult time for our profession, we need to look at the silver lining. With time, we can work on ourselves and work on our dentistry. And what better way then the RIPE Academy by Restoring Excellence.
In an attempt to make it affordable for all around the world, it is just $29USD per month for some of the most valuable online content anywhere in the world.
My crown prep workflow is modelled on Lincoln’s video from the academy 3 years ago!

Invisalign Australia
We’re proud to have Invisalign Australia supporting the podcast and as an (early stage) Invisalign provider, I genuinely think providing aligners and educating yourself on orthodontic alignment will revolutionise your treatment and patient outcomes.
