Our Inception

Endeavour Group formed during the pandemic lockdown in 2020. Incredibly, several pediatric members reached out to one another to come together.

Understanding that treating children requires collaborative care, and that most kids are seen by general practitioners, Endeavour attracted an international, diverse group of field leaders, meeting weekly since its inception.

Members include:

General Dentists, Pediatric Dentists, Orthodontists, Speech Pathologists, Registered Dental Hygienists, Research and PhD Sleep Specialists.
