First Regional Pediatric Dental Clinic | Adelaide News

Dr. Gabrielle Smart defied odds and opened Australia’s first pediatric dental clinic outside the city—right in Hahndorf—just six months after giving birth to her second child, fueled by personal resilience and a mission to fix a broken system. Facing burnout, pandemic hurdles, and personal loss, she turned her passion into action, launching a bulk-billing clinic that accepts Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule, making private care affordable for kids up to 17. She even sacrificed her salary in Year One. Now, the clinic exceeds its goals by 40%, earned her a “40 Under 40 Game Changer” award, and is set to expand within 12 months—bringing vital dental care to regional kids, one smile at a time.
