ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Dr. Venkatesh Bhardwaj. or Ven as he is commonly known, is a specialist Paediatric Dentist. He completed his undergraduate training in dentistry (B.Dent Hons) in 2005 at the University of Sydney. For the next ten years, Ven honed his dental skills working across private practices in Sydney and Canberra. During this time he also worked as a clinical tutor to undergraduate students at both the Sydney Dental Hospital and Westmead Hospital. In 2015, Ven took up a position to commence specialist paediatric dental training at Westmead Hospital and Children’s Hospital, Westmead, which he completed in 2017. Following this, he established Macarthur Paediatric Dentistry in Camden and gives lectures to undergraduate and post graduate dental students.

Apart from teeth, Ven is also passionate about reading and although his lifelong goal of being able to read 50 books in a year is yet to be achieved, his interest in reading has more recently sparked a desire to one day write a book. He is still trying to figure out what he would write about. His love of reading is often combined with his obsession with all things superhero – in fact, if speed-reading books (and minds) were a superhero power, this would definitely be Ven’s first choice!
