Our Dentists

How it started

How we met

The two main Dentists are Hing and Terry. Both were in the same year at Dental school at Melbourne University, a long, long time ago, graduating in 1987.

Smart vs. Mature

Hing is a lot smarter than Terry as she went from Year 12 (HSC in those days) at MLC Kew, directly into Dentistry. Whereas Terry went the long route, finishing a science degree, then an honours year at Peter Mac. Cancer Institute, then working as a medical researcher on the kidney function of lab rats at Melbourne Uni before finally entering Dental school. That’s why his fellow students called him the mature age student at the time.

Smile To Go was born

Recently at a Dental exhibition, Hing and Terry bumped into each other and having not seen each other for years had a good chat over coffee. Somehow the idea of working together in the future was brought up. So Terry invited Hing to be a part of a new practice called Smile To Go.
