September's Dental Rescue Day

Dental Rescue Day was a huge success, with a particularly high attendance rate. In all, 34 patients had the opportunity to be assessed and treated by Dr Tracey Gold’s team of OHT 3rd Year Students and volunteer dentists: Dr Lida Sayadelmi, Dr Jonathan Lo, Dr Andrew Chan, Dr Ashlee Bence, Dr Amit Gurbuxani, Dr Vuk Paripovic, Dr Hyun Mun and Dr Emrik Graff. It was a combined team effort with TAFE DCA students, who volunteered as chairside assistants, and TAFE Supervisor, Valerie, as well as Curtin OHT Supervisors, Tracey L and Sylvia, OHT Clinic DA Tash, and Curtin Admin Assistant, Makayla. Many patients had complex dental issues and were in need of urgent dental care. Thank you to all for your compassion and working so tirelessly to assist the vulnerable and disadvantaged in our community. Special thanks go to ADHF’s Andrea Paterson, for her wonderful, tireless, efficient organisation. Without you, these days could never happen. Some of the referring organisations were: Uniting WA, Centrecare, The Salvation Army, MercyCare , St Barts, Street Doctor and Homeless Healthcare.

Volunteer Profile

Jane Bartley – Dental Assistant

For dental assistant Jane Bartley, volunteering at Homeless Connect Rockingham recently was an opportunity to give back to the community. “I volunteered with other organisations prior to becoming a mum,” Jane says. “I jumped at the chance to get back out there, doing the work.” Jane says she loved the fast pace with the highly skilled dental team. “Twenty-one patients in five hours with two chairs, in a caravan run on a generator – what an achievement!” To other dental assistants considering volunteering, Jane says there is excellent leadership, support and organisation at every level. “It is a very inclusive environment,” she says. “You will be out of your comfort zone in a good way. You will meet wonderful people and have fun.” Dr Adam Hamilton

Turn the goodwill of a practice today, into a loan for tomorrow

Our extensive experience lending to dentists means we understand the value of your profession – and we’re able to lend up to 100% of the purchase price of an existing practice, using goodwill as security rather than your home.* Like you, we recognise the time it takes to build that goodwill. That’s why we take into account the sustainability of the practice and the value of intangible assets such as people, patients and intellectual property. At BOQ Specialist, we back you and your business, giving you flexibility and support over the long term.
