TIP #112 – The Broadening Scope of the OHT with William Carlson-Jones

The Dental Head Start Podcast

Welcome to What I Wish I Knew by Dental Head Start. This is a podcast where we learn from people that have been there, made the mistakes, learnt the lessons and have developed into the accomplished dental professionals they are today.

It’s your weekly mentoring session.

Hosted by Haydyn Bathurst

In the ever evolving field of dentistry the role of the oral health therapist has morphed and changed. Different age ranges different types of treatment and all varied across different states. This gets pretty confusing. With me here today is the Vice President of ADOHTA, Lecturer at USYD and a fellow Colgate advocate for oral health which shout out we’re both apart of. I thought CJ would be an excellent start to dive into all things OHT and get into topics such as the role of oral health promotion and trying to reduce disparities in oral health, and what are other opportunities that being in the dental health space offers?
Stay tuned.
