Listen Later

What happens if you want to go to the dentist but the treatment you need can't be done at your local dental practice because your body weight is too high? Dr Zanab Malik is a specialist dentist with advanced training in treating people with Special Needs. She is also a visiting specialist at Campbelltown Hospital and in private practice on the Central Coast. Zanab is also in the final year of her PhD research at The University of Newcastle investigating weight stigma in the dental setting. We are going to talk about what happens to people's dental health when they have severe and complex obesity and need to be treated by a specialist like Dr Zanab Malik.
