Dr David Kerr
Dr David Kerr has over twenty years of experience in general dental practice and has completed extensive, advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics and dental implants. He received his Bachelor of Dentistry with Honours from the University of Queensland in 1998, having obtained his Bachelor of Science with Honours in 1992. Dr Kerr is a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for Dentsply Sirona, helping the company develop and test their new and emerging dental technologies.
David was recently awarded a global recognition award by Suresmile for the Outstanding Orthodontic Practice for 2020. He has been invited to teach dental professionals at various global dental events and is the Co-Founder of Dental Health Network, a group devoted to supporting dental professionals through education.
Dr David and his business partner Dr Darryl Marsh own a large dental practice in Brisbane that employs five OHTs. The practice has employed OHTs and Dental Hygienists for over twenty years and was one of the first practices in Brisbane to employ a Dental Hygienist.
He is a firm believer in the OHT model and fully embraces the multi-disciplinary team approach to comprehensive dental care.
Robyn Russell
Robyn Russell is an experienced OHT who writes for several dental publications, including Australasian Dental Practice, the Bulletin and Hygiene Today. Robyn has been invited to partake and present at several international events and really enjoys the live-patient learning experiences these opportunities have offered her. Robyn graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Oral Health in 2005. She was awarded many prizes during her time at the University of Queensland, including the Colgate Oral Health Prize for highest marks in both Therapy and Hygiene clinical Practice.
Robyn has volunteered many times over the years both overseas and domestically for projects such as Colgate Young Smiles (USA), Homeless Connect (Brisbane) and Smile for a Cause. Her favourite volunteering expedition was MLopTopang where she performed much needed dental treatment on hundreds of children living in poverty on the streets of Cambodia.
Robyn has worked with Dr David Kerr for over fifteen years. She is a mentor to many Dental Hygienists and OHTs and provides on-going practical support and advice to both new graduates and experienced clinicians.
