Hope in the Deep End Podcast - Let's chat about teeth!

Welcome to our podcast 'Hope in the Deep End', brought to you by the Shared Health Foundation.

In this podcast series we are exploring all the different complexities of working in areas of deprivation, poverty and entrenched health inequalities. From clinicians to youth workers, we want to inspire, challenge and give inspiration to all those that work in the deep end.

This weeks episode focuses on oral hygiene and teeth! Our guests are Dr Ben Atkins, former President of the Oral Health Foundation and ran his own Homeless Dental Practice and Dr Christina Worle, Clinical Lecturer in Restorative Dentistry and is an expert on Trauma informed Dentistry.

Dr Laura Neilson speaks with Ben and Christina about poverty, access to dentistry for deprived areas and if wooden toothbrushes are all they are cracked up to be!
