The Tom Bereznicki Charitable Educational Foundation started in the summer of 2023 using Tom’s own funds. The charity was established primarily because he noticed a gradual decline in the clinical experience of both dental students and qualified dentists over the last two decades. The aim of the charity is to inspire early career dental professionals to reach their maximum clinical potential.
To support this aim, Tom has organised a series of clinical competitions and symposia, in conjunction with the College of General Dentistry and other organisations, which offer fully funded or reduced-cost, high-quality training to practitioners in the early career stages of their career.
CGDent and GC Award for Foundation Trainees
This clinical skills award for dentists and dental therapists in their first year of qualification, offers 18 winners a fully funded place each on a two day hands-on composite layering course at GC’s Education Campus in Belgium.
The Tom Bereznicki Award for Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry
Open to dentists qualified between two to five years, this award recognises aesthetic dentistry skills and patient care. Successful candidates each receive a fully funded place on a two-day hands-on digital dentistry course which leads participants step-by-step through the complete process of creating a digitally produced crown.
Introduction to Occlusion Symposium for Early Careers, London
Led by six renowned speakers, including Tom, the aim of the symposium is to introduce delegates to the five basic principles of occlusion and how they can support the success and longevity of restorative treatments.
Perio-Occlusion Symposium for Early Careers, London
This symposium covers the aesthetic aspects of perio and functional occlusal aspects post orthodontic treatment and is led by expert speakers Dr Reena Wadia and Dr Raman Aulakh.
In addition, Tom now has available on his website a unique collection of educational videos and recorded webinars which students and qualified dental professionals can access free of charge covering a wide range of topics with a focus on Restorative Dentistry.
