<p>In this episode, we sit down with Imogen to explore the growing field of sports dentistry and why oral health deserves a place in every conversation about athlete performance, health and wellbeing.</p><p>While nutrition, sleep, recovery and physical conditioning are often front of mind for athletes and their support teams, oral health is frequently overlooked. Imogen shares how sports dentistry is helping bridge that gap and why the mouth may play a bigger role in performance than many people realise.</p><p>We discuss the unique oral health challenges faced by different athlete populations, from endurance athletes to contact sport competitors and artistic performers, as well as the barriers that continue to prevent oral health from being fully integrated into athlete care.</p><p>Imogen also reflects on her own professional journey, including her involvement with the UK Sports Dentistry Association and co-founding the South African Sports Dentistry Association, offering valuable insights into what it takes to build a niche area of practice and create impact on a global scale.</p><p>Finally, we look ahead to the future of sports dentistry, discuss emerging opportunities within the profession, and hear more about the upcoming inaugural Australian Sports Dentistry Conference.</p><p>Whether you're a dental professional, student, sports enthusiast or simply curious about this evolving field, this episode provides an inspiring look at the intersection of oral health, performance and innovation.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources and Links:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.byronmedical.com.au/product-category/loupes/ergo/">Ergonomic Loupes from Byron Medical</a></p><p>Sign up for the <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/anz-sda-the-inaugural-sports-dentistry-conference-2026-tickets-1977202662388" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">ANZ SDA: The Inaugural Sports Dentistry Conference 2026</a></p><p>Follow Imogen Johnson <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedentalsportstherapist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> <u>@thedentalsportstherapist</u></a></p><p>Follow Emma Cubis <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emma.cubis/"><u>@emma.cubis</u></a></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talkdental.tome/"><u>Talk Dental to Me </u></a></p><p>Subscribe on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@emmacubis"><u>Youtube</u></a> for VLOGS, Q&A, life as as Oral Health Therapist </p><p>Sign up for the <a href="https://learn.talkdentaltome.online/"><u>Talk Dental to Me CPD Membership</u></a> - use Youtube10 for 10% off!</p><p>#dentalpodcast #sportsdentistry #dentaleducation #oralhealththerapist #dentist #sportsmedicine #athletehealth #dentalcpd #talkdentaltome</p>

<p>In this episode, we sit down with Dr Lora Banicevic to unpack one of the most unspoken realities in dentistry: perfectionism. From the pressure to perform chairside to the fear of complaints, judgement and never feeling “good enough,” this conversation explores the hidden mental and emotional load so many clinicians quietly carry.</p><p>Together, we discuss the difference between high standards and harmful perfectionism, the culture of “pushing through” in healthcare, and what happens when dentistry starts to become your entire identity. Dr Lora also shares honest insights into burnout, wellbeing, self-worth and how clinicians can begin building a more sustainable and fulfilling career - both inside and outside the clinic.</p><p>Whether you’re a dentist, hygienist, therapist, student or healthcare professional, this episode is a reminder that clinical excellence should never come at the expense of your health.</p><p><strong>Resources and Links:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/drlorabanicevic/">Follow Dr Lora </a></p><p>Follow Emma Cubis <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emma.cubis/"><u>@emma.cubis</u></a></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talkdental.tome/"><u>Talk Dental to Me </u></a></p><p>Subscribe on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@emmacubis"><u>Youtube</u></a> for VLOGS, Q&A, life as as Oral Health Therapist </p><p>Sign up for the <a href="https://learn.talkdentaltome.online/"><u>Talk Dental to Me CPD Membership</u></a> - use Youtube10 for 10% off!</p><p><br></p>

<p>In this episode, I sit down with Cassie Cowdroy to talk about one of the most nuanced and underserved spaces in oral health — working with neurodivergent kids and the families navigating it all. Cassie brings a depth of clinical experience and a genuinely refreshing perspective on what it means to deliver care that’s actually useful, not just textbook-perfect.</p><p><br></p><p>We cover:</p><p>✦ Cassie’s clinical background and what drew her to paediatric and neurodivergent-focused care</p><p>✦ How she tailors oral health conversations around diet, brushing, and caries risk without triggering guilt or shame</p><p>✦ The pressure clinicians face to give “ideal” advice - and what to do when that advice just isn’t realistic for a family</p><p>✦ Small, realistic behaviour changes that parents actually stick with at home</p><p>✦ How Cassie’s career goals have evolved and what gave her permission to take a non-traditional path</p><p>✦ What a truly sustainable dental career looks like - and why that question matters more than ever</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you’re a clinician working with complex paediatric cases, a parent trying to navigate your child’s oral health, or someone quietly questioning what longevity in this profession actually looks like for you - this one is for you.</p>
