Title: Learning, Unlearning, and Practicing Cultural Safety in Clinical Dentistry
Presenter: Ms. Kim Trottier
Presenter bio: Kim graduated from the National School of Dental Therapy in 2001 and has been practicing for over two decades. Her cultural learnings have profoundly shaped her clinical practice and continue to guide how she supports both patients and providers. Through her teaching and mentorship, Kim brings warmth, humility, and honesty, sharing her own journey of learning and unlearning to encourage others in advancing their own cultural safety practice.
In this session, Kim will share her personal journey of learning, unlearning, and growing in cultural safety, shaped by more than a decade of working in partnership with Indigenous communities. Through story and reflection, she will highlight the pivotal experiences that transformed her approach to patient care, and the clinical insights that continue to influence her practice as a dental therapist.
Participants will be invited to reflect on cultural safety as an ongoing process of humility, self-awareness, and accountability. The session will also explore practical ways oral health professionals can weave these principles into their own practice, contributing to safer and more respectful healthcare experiences for Indigenous patients.
