The Rebuilding Smiles Program 💙 Dr Karuna Khatri is honoured to contribute to the Rebuilding Smiles Program, an initiative by the @ADADentalHealthFoundation that provides vital dental care to patients affected by domestic and/or family violence.
Reflecting on her involvement, Dr Karuna shares: "Giving back through the Rebuilding Smiles Program is incredibly important to me. It`s a meaningful way to support members of our community who may not otherwise have access to the dental care they need. Restoring a smile can truly be life-changing, it can give someone the confidence to speak, to smile, and to regain essential function. That renewed confidence often flows into other areas of their life, whether it`s applying for a job, building relationships, or simply engaging more fully with the world around them."
At Brisbane Smiles, we are proud to support initiatives that create a lasting, positive impact on the community. Thank you, Dr Karuna, for your contribution to making a real difference!
