#5 - DENTAL VOLUNTEERING with Dr. Adrian Dang & Dr. David Trinh

In EPISODE 5 we are joined by Dr. Adrian Dang and Dr. David Trinh to chat about Volunteering in Dentistry!

David and Adrian lead the Rotary Australia-Vietnam Dental Field Team which provides dental treatment to primary school children in Rural Vietnam who have limited access to oral health services

I was fortunate enough to attend this trip myself led by Adrian and David and I thought it would be a great way to share with the dental community the various opportunities beyond the clinic. We have a few laughs and reflect on how the trip had a real positive impact on ourselves and the team. (If you are watching the podcast on a video platform you'll see some highlights and photos from the trip towards the middle of the episode)

You'll also hear about:

- Adrian and David's initial role as volunteers and how they eventually took over the program

- The challenges (cultural and logistical) of organising a volunteering program on an international scale

- How to provide dental treatment with limited resources and equipment

- The many fun activities David and Adrian plan for the team

Thanks Adrian and David for coming on the show!
