Dental vouchers for flood victims

Ivoclar Vivadent has donated $100,000 to Variety Australia to provide dental treatment to Queensland and Victorian flood victims. Variety Queensland and Victoria will implement the relief program and identify those in need of dental care that they currently cannot afford.

This assistance will take the form of 400 dental assistance vouchers each valued at $250, redeemable though any dental clinic. Vouchers for dental work will be allocated by Variety with dentists billing the charity.

The Managing Director of Ivoclar Vivadent Pty Ltd, Mr Phil Jolly, says the scheme allows the company to help those affected by the floods and in turn, also help the professionals of our industry.

The company will write to all Queensland and Victorian dentists informing of the program.

Other dental manufacturers and suppliers have been helping flood victims – including dentists – in a number of ways.
