TMD & Sleep Dentist
Bachelor of Health Science (Dentistry) – Latrobe University
Masters of Dentistry – Latrobe University
Post Graduate Diploma Dental Sleep Medicine – University of Western Australia
Dr Damian Teo is a holistic dentist who has focused his practice to TMD, Bruxism and Dental Sleep Medicine. Since graduating from dentistry at Latrobe University in 2012, Damian dived straight into a TMD and Dental Sleep Medicine clinic in Melbourne.
Damian is passionate about looking “beyond the mouth” and treating the body as a whole. He believes dentists play an important role in being able to recognise airway/breathing issues, sleeping problems, and craniofacial pain (such as headaches, neck pain, and TMD). Damian first gained deeper knowledge and understanding of TMD, craniofacial pain, sleep medicine, and airways by completing the TMD & Sleep mini residency program by Dr. Steven Olmos in 2013.
This led to Damian working in Darwin’s first official TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre in 2014, where he then restricted his practice to treating patients for snoring, sleep apnea, bruxism and TMD. He pursued further education in the field of sleep medicine and achieved his Post Graduate Diploma in Dental Sleep Medicine with the University of Western Australia in 2016.
Over the years, Damian completed various mini-residency programs covering TMD, craniofacial pain, sleep medicine, orofacial myology and orthodontics with Dr Derek Mahony, Dr Jeffrey Okeson, Dr Tony Ancell, Dr Jamison Spencer, and Dr Steve Gallela.
Knowing the value in multidisciplinary treatment, Damian has also completed courses in biochemistry, nutrition, exercise biomechanics, neuro kinetic therapy, Buteyko breathing, mental health and well-being. He also works closely with many different health practitioners ranging from physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists, speech pathologists, sleep respiratory physicians, ENTs, oral surgeons and even personal trainers.
Damian’s passion for TMD and Sleep medicine led to the founding of his own specialised TMD and Sleep clinics: Melbourne Dental Sleep Clinic, consulting with TMJ physiotherapists in the Melbourne TMJ & Facial Pain Centre and Sleep Respiratory Physicians in Lung and Sleep Victoria.

Oral Health Therapist
Cathy is an Oral Health Therapist, Orofacial Myologist and educator, who has enjoyed a long and rewarding career in the dental profession working in many aspects of dentistry in both public and private clinics.
Cathy’s use of silver fluorides began in NSW in the early 1980s, and she quickly adopted the use of silver fluoride materials in both public and private clinical settings when they again became available for use in Australia. Used alone or combined with modern dental materials, silver fluoride became an integral aspect of her approach to caries and sensitivity management challenges in even in the youngest and most anxious of patients. Since 2017 she has educated clinicians across Australia and New Zealand on all aspects of silver fluoride and is a knowledgeable advocate for this minimal intervention approach for active caries management in clients of all ages.
Cathy has developed the ‘ARM-ER approach’ to caries management and sensitivity (using silver fluorides), a clinical pathway and resource centre to help guide fellow clinicians (and their clients) through the option to offer silver fluoride materials within the contemporary clinical setting.

Kirby Smith, a born and bred local, has developed into an extremely passionate, dedicated Financial Adviser with Two Mile Bay Financial Planning in Torquay over the last eleven years.

She was approached to conduct evenings to educate Women with the aim to improve their financial literacy in areas such as the family budget, banking structure, superannuation, debt, insurance and estate planning.
And so, it began… her vision to deliver “Women’s Financial Education”, a six week introduction to core elements of your finances, to as many Women as possible
