The Smile Revolution Podcast, in association with Dentsply Sirona, is an all-new dentistry podcast series conceived and presented by Dental Therapist Victoria Wilson. Primarily aimed at dental hygienists and therapists, but with content that should be of interest to all dental professionals, Smile Revolution is an informative, entertaining podcast that talks about all things concerning oral health promotion and career development.

Thanks to the increasing popularity of podcasts on all manner of topics for people to listen to on the go, anywhere and at any time, Victoria spotted the opportunity for hygienists and therapists to listen, learn and interact with their fellow dental professionals and to take that knowledge forward to incorporate into their own career paths.

Here Victoria explains more about what inspired her to launch Smile Revolution, the support she received from Dentsply Sirona to get her idea off the ground, and her vision for the future.

“My inspiration behind Smile Revolution was to amalgamate my two real passions – working within dentistry and being able to interact with colleagues in a new way to help prioritise oral health, patient care and career progression.

Our profession has so many individuals doing incredible things, yet most of the time others are unaware of what they’re doing. The idea of the podcast is for me to have an open, honest conversation to tap into people’s careers, the choices they’ve made and what they have learnt from their experiences to really inspire others.

It’s my great pleasure to talk in depth to dental professionals from around the world who’ve made an impact on my career and on furthering oral health promotion in general. It gives a genuine and honest insight into what other colleagues have done well; what they’ve tried to do and maybe not been so successful in; and whether they’ve made the decision to change their career path for the better.

It’s not always easy working in practice and dealing with the daily challenges and I think it’s fair to say that people don’t generally love coming to the dentist! I want to change those perceptions as well as bring inspiration to those who may feel stuck in limbo and wondering which way to turn next. By interacting with colleagues on the podcast we can learn how they’ve overcome such obstacles and really moved on in their career.

My thanks to Dentsply Sirona

The Smile Revolution podcast series would not exist without my colleagues, my amazing guests and of course the fantastic support of Dentsply Sirona for which I am so grateful. They not only had real faith in my initial concept but they then did everything they could to help bring the podcast dream to life. Dentsply Sirona’s philosophy in continuing professional education and bringing together like-minded clinicians to help bring about change and help develop their skills, knowledge and influence is so important.

Charlotte Sale, Clinical Affairs Manager (East Region) at Dentsply Sirona said, “Throughout the Smile Revolution podcast series, the passion for oral health and enhancing smiles is clearly evident from all the contributors and this is something we very much have in common here at Dentsply Sirona.”

Come and join the Smile Revolution!

I’m so excited to be a part of Smile Revolution. I’m learning so much from it and I want all my fellow dental professionals to do so as well. I want to encourage anyone inspired by the podcast or who have things they want to hear more about to contact me – I would love to hear from them or to put them in touch with anyone I’ve interviewed.”
