Merri Health championed public dental care as a key participant in the Dental Health Services Victoria Public Oral Health Conference.
More than 400 dental health professionals came together for the conference, which was packed with expert speakers, interactive activities, and breakout sessions.
Our Smile 4 Miles program took the stage to celebrate its 20th anniversary! Over the past two decades, this initiative has successfully supported children to learn essential habits for strong and healthy teeth, making a lasting impact on oral health in early childhood.
Merri Health’s Dental Manager Dr Jonathan Teoh joined a panel discussion where he emphasised the importance of value-based healthcare, which focuses on meeting the needs of patients.
Here’s another fact to make you smile: in the past year alone, 2,500+ kids across 17 schools have received free dental care through Merri Health’s Smile Squad.
