  • The Charity Changing Lives: A Look Inside Filling the Gap
    Mar 8 2024
    In this episode, we hear about Filling the Gap, a charity run by The Australian Dental Association NSW, that provides free dental care to people in need. We learn how dentists can volunteer their time and make a difference in the lives of others.

    The charity partners with dentists who donate their time to provide care. There are two ways dentists can get involved:

    • Volunteer at a clinic run by the charity.
    • Volunteer at their practice and see patients referred by the charity.
