Mouthguard March
We have partnered with the eviDent Foundation to commit to improve the oral and general health of all Australians. We are donating $10 per mouthguard sold during the month of March to the eviDent Foundation. If you are in need of a new mouthguard, contact us to discuss. Evidence proves that a custom made mouthguard offers superior protection for your smile. See our blog on custom made mouthguards to read more about mouthguards. Our dentists at Landale Dental Box Hill will be happy to answer your questions as well.

CMS (Australia)
AIM (Uganda) World Vision
Internationally
We have sponsored CBM (Christian Blind Mission) of which Dr. Stenning has been a director for 12 years and the last two years as chairperson. We have sponsored children from World Vision and one casual staff member has worked in an orphanage in Uganda. We have also sponsored workers in PNG, India & Africa.
The team at Landale Dental in Box Hill are very proud of our Dental Therapist, Debra Harper! Debra has been a part of the Landale Dental team for over ten years now and has been a regular volunteer for numerous oral health projects in third world communities.
Debra has travelled to the Phillipines with a team of healthcare professionals (doctors, dentists, dental/oral health therapists, optometrists) to provide medical attention to those who cannot access the health care they require. This was a successful project and she hopes to participate again once travel is safe again.
Charitable works of the ‘Friends of Landale Dental’
Dr Elizabeth Stenning (founding & past principal dentist)
Graduated from Melbourne University with a bachelor of Dental Science. Elizabeth spent the first 3 years of her working life in rural Victoria in the bright friendly township of Horsham, where she was mentored in a large dental practice after which she spent a year in the UK studying at a bible college in the Lakes district, a time of reflection! She returned home and spent 5 years in suburban practices during which time she married David. Elizabeth then spent a year in India with her family (including her 3 then young children) working in village clinics with local health care groups. This was perhaps where she embraced the importance of good general oral hygiene and how a preventative regime was so very important.
