We just had our practice involved on this Dental Rescue Day – so we could get Kellie ( our new coordinator) to "cut her teeth" on the organisation with Helene's help. She did really well....she even did a little hygiene work for a couple of patients. We did over 10000 dollars of work...on about 22 patients.
Dr Henry Gilkes

Dental rescue days will be held in May, August and November

In 2011 the National Dental Foundation in South Australia plans to hold 3 Dental Rescue “weeks”. The first will be in early April, the next will be held in July and the last will be in early November. There is some flexibility around these dates to accommodate those practices and individuals who wish to participate.
