Brisbane Smiles has been part of Brisbane's Inner West community for many years, and we believe being a local dental practice means contributing beyond the care we provide within our practice.
Our team supports a number of community initiatives focused on oral health, food security and helping people experiencing disadvantage.
Our team visits childcare and kindergarten centres throughout Brisbane's Inner West to introduce young children to the importance of looking after their teeth and developing healthy oral health habits from an early age.
Brisbane Smiles supports Street Care, a volunteer-run Brisbane charity helping people experiencing hardship through food support, community programs and homeless outreach.
Through this support, we help Street Care provide food and practical assistance to people experiencing homelessness and hardship in the Brisbane community.
Our Brisbane Smiles team also comes together to prepare sandwiches for local school children who may otherwise go without lunch during the school day.
It's a simple, practical way for our team to contribute together and help provide nourishment to children within our local community.
Brisbane Smiles also participates in the ADA Dental Health Foundation's Rebuilding Smiles® program, which helps people affected by domestic and family violence access dental treatment that may otherwise be beyond their reach. Referrals to the program are made through charities and not-for-profit organisations, with eligible patients connected with volunteer dental practitioners.
Through our involvement, Dr Paul McKay and the Brisbane Smiles team provide pro bono dental care to patients referred through the program.
For Brisbane Smiles, community involvement is about more than financial contributions. It's about our team contributing time, skills and practical support where it can make a difference.
From sharing oral-health education with young children, to preparing school lunches, supporting food programs and providing pro bono dental treatment, we're proud to play an active role in the community around us.
We look forward to seeing you! Book online or call us on 3870 3333
