Double the Rachel's, double the care 🦷✨

Today we gave our patients a little extra TLC in clinic, with Rachel & Rachel on hand to keep those Smiles happy.

Because one just wasn't enough! 😂

🦷 Trauma-informed dental care is about so much more than teeth — it’s about understanding the person in the dental chair. 💚

This weekend, we came together with an incredible group of volunteers and dentists from across Perth to learn from the inspiring Dr Sharonne Zaks at her Trauma-Informed Dental Care Workshop.

We were so grateful to see such a wonderful turnout of people passionate about making a difference and committed to creating safer, more supportive dental experiences for every patient.

Gaining valuable tools and practical strategies to incorporate into our day-to-day care, helping us better understand the impact of trauma and how we can create more empowering experiences for the people we support.

And just as importantly, we were reminded of the importance of caring for ourselves, recognising that supporting others starts with looking after our own wellbeing, too. 🤍

We are incredibly grateful to Dr Sharonne Zaks for sharing her knowledge, experience and passion with us. Thank you for being such an inspiring woman who is helping change the way dental care is understood and delivered. ✨

🦷 WE NEED YOU! 💚
HELP US CHANGE LIVES, ONE SMILE AT A TIME.

✨ What if your skills could do more than restore a smile? What if they could help restore confidence, dignity and hope, a life-changing impact?

We’re looking for passionate dental professionals who are willing to give back by providing pro bono dental care to women rebuilding their lives after FDV.

💫 A little of your time could mean a lifetime of smiles. Because everyone deserves to smile without shame.

Could you or someone you know help?

📩 Get in touch with us to become a Healing Smiles volunteer. Together, we can help more women access the care, support and confidence they deserve.

💛 For R U OK? Day, last week, our wonderful volunteer Dr. Zena joined forces with the amazing Dr. Parul for an interactive discussion with the UDSS.

The conversation explored the pressures faced within the dental profession, the importance of protecting your wellbeing, and practical tools to help create a safe, supportive, and fulfilling career in dentistry.

An important conversation to continue having everyday. 💛

More than just dental procedures 📝

Dr. Louise has been conducting interviews with women who have completed treatment through our program.

Their courage in sharing their experiences and perspectives are an invaluable contribution to our research and helps shape the programs future and the support we provide.

Together, we're creating knowledge, driving change and giving women a stronger voice. Advocating for the ongoing support women need to rebuild their health, confidence and well-being.

💚✨Thank you every woman who has trusted us with her story.
