Dr David Penn: What Are the Latest in Dentistry and Why It Matters to You

Today we are going to talk about the innovations in Dentistry, and my guest is Dr David Penn. After earning his dentistry degree from Sydney University, Dr David Penn opened a practise in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. He had extensive training from two of the top aesthetic dentists in the world in the United States. He founded Southern Cross Dental Laboratories in 1983, and it has since developed into one of the world’s top-tier, cutting-edge dental laboratories.

In addition to his work as an educator and lecturer, Dr Penn gives a lot of talks on facial and cosmetic orthodontics. He has trained more than 1000 post-graduate students in the use of Invisalign, and in January 2015, he wrote and received accreditation for a distinctive post-graduate certificate in Aesthetic Orthodontics.

A number of innovative dental appliances and equipment, including the Atlas Cabriolet orthodontic retainer, the Penn Composite Stent, and a series of accelerated orthodontic devices, were created by him as well. In 2015, the NSW Department of Innovation awarded one of these devices a significant grant. Dr Penn won the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for the services sector in 2011.

Dr Dave McCarty: Why You Need an Empowered Approach to Sleep and Insomnia

David E McCarty MD FAASM attended medical school at Duke University, and completed an internship and residency in Internal Medicine in Boston, at Massachusetts General Hospital. He began his career practising primary care, but after a handful of years in practice, he followed his own white rabbit into a whole new world called Sleep Medicine.

Dr McCarty learned the art from the great Dr Andrew Chesson (world-class physician, and past president of the AASM). While at LSU, Dr McCarty won some teaching awards, published a few papers, and it’s also where he developed the Five Finger Approach, which has remained the cornerstone of his teaching about patient-centred problem-solving, to this day, and is featured as the pinnacle for orienteering around the Isle.

In addition to patient care and academic endeavours, Dr McCarty has had plenty of experience as a public speaker at regional and national meetings throughout his career.
He retired from the practice of clinical medicine in 2021, to devote his energy to patient education.
