Case Discussion with Dental Specialists
I am looking forward to joining my colleagues Dr Alana Smith and Dr Francis Chan as a speaker at the upcoming CPD event “Case discussion session with dental specialists” on 21 July.
This course offers attendees the unique opportunity to bring in difficult cases from their practice and consult the specialists within a small group setting. We will also be sharing interesting cases that we have handled in our own careers, giving you the chance to learn tips and tricks on how to best handle a range of different scenarios.

This year, we are excited to be introducing a new initiative designed to acknowledge the dedication and impact of those involved in the work of the ADAVB’s Committees. The inaugural Annual Committee Dinner will be held on 12 June, and we are looking forward to celebrating the committee members who play a key role in the success of the Branch.
If you have an interest in volunteering for one of our hard-working member committees, we invite you to visit our Committees page and keep an eye out for opportunities as they arise.
Thanks for staying connected - I hope to catch up with you soon!
