Dr Timothy Smith graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1985 and commenced work as an officer in the Australian Regular Army. His service included several postings around Australia, command of dental units and involvement in a humanitarian relief operation in Northern Iraq following the first Gulf War. Timothy completed his Masters degree in Endodontology at the University of Queensland in 1995, joined the endodontic group in 1999 and has been a registered endodontist for more than eighteen years. A former president of the Queensland Branch of the Australian Society of Endodontology, Timothy regularly lectures and runs continuing education courses for students and graduates in the profession.

Dentistry is very much in Timothy’s DNA, being the third generation of his family in the profession, and he’s married to Dr Kelly Yong, also a dentist. Together, they have two young sons who keep them very much occupied outside of work.
