A Perth Dentist's Blog

This year the team from Perth Sedation Dentistry and our sister Churchill Dental Practice participated in the National Dental Foundation’s Dental Rescue Day. (The term ’sister practice’ is quite apt here, literally, as my sister is my partner dentist).

We were fortunate enough to provide dental care to needy patients who were referred to us by various charity organisations. Several patients presented with advanced dental disease and I was proud to see the entire team working their hardest to provide more care than we thought possible in the alloted time! It was great to help all of these patients, many of whom required emergency care. But it was particularly rewarding for the team to stay overtime in order to treat a young lady who left our rooms with a new smile. Having suffered from disadvantage in life which had led to rampant dental decay, she was able to smile for the first time in years and we later heard that her entire demeanour and self esteem had been transformed.

Dental Rescue Day is a great initiative and we hope to be involved again in the future.
