He's been described as a \"serial inventor and entrepreneur\", who has brought a number of groundbreaking inventions into the field of dentistry. You might be familiar with the V-Ring and the Tri-Clip, but his other notable inventions include the One Visit Crown and the Grip Tab. \n\nSimon studied dentistry in the UK at King's College in London but moved to New Zealand when his first child was still young. He fell in love with the country and set up his own dental practice there. Through the years, he used the spare rooms in his practice to house the dental inventions he’s created across his career. Like many of the guests on this show, Simon never sits still and balances his dental practice alongside other projects. \n\nSimon’s inventions have advanced the way that dentistry approaches oral care. This is Part 1 of Simon’s interview, and this episode will focus on his inventive spirit and discuss the countless hours it takes to realize an invention as a reality.\n\nResources\n\nFollow your curiosity, connect, and join our ever-growing community of extraordinary minds.\nCariFree Website\nCariFree on Instagram\nCariFree on Facebook\nCariFree on Pinterest\nCariFree on Twitter\nDr. Kim Kutsch on LinkedIn\nDr. Simon McDonald on LinkedIn\nRhondium Dental Products Website\n\nWhat's In This Episode\nHow Simon found dentistry.\nWhy Simon loves inventing better dental products.\nA few entrepreneurs that inspire Simon.\nWhat it takes to create a truly groundbreaking dental product.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/7wKEh50BzakNuYC8ZxGL3wvGvYeoc0NrBu_gcYC8q6U/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM4NTg3LzE2NzU5/NjM2NDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
