Portable & Aged Care Dentistry Advocate BDS, Founder – Dentist To Your Door & Dr Mark’s HyGenie®
Speaker's Biography
Dr. Mark Wotherspoon is a respected Australian dental surgeon, educator, and innovator with over 30 years of experience in public, military, and private practice. Based in Wagga Wagga, Mark is the founder of Dentist To Your Door, a pioneering portable dentistry service delivering in-home and aged care dental treatment across New South Wales. His passion for accessible care is rooted in both personal experience and professional observation, particularly the barriers elderly and medically compromised patients face in accessing traditional dental services.
Dr. Wotherspoon’s early career took him from remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia—where he delivered outreach services by air—to service in the Australian Army Dental Corps, where he refined his skills in preventive care and team-based practice. In addition to his clinical work, Mark is the creator of Dr Mark’s HyGenie®, a growing range of oral hygiene products designed to improve the care and maintenance of removable dental appliances like dentures, aligners, and sports mouthguards. His product line emerged from firsthand insights into the gaps in home-based appliance hygiene—and a commitment to making oral care safer, easier, and more effective.
A passionate educator and advocate, Mark regularly presents on topics such as portable dentistry, aged care oral health, preventive hygiene, and clinical innovation. He collaborates with aged care facilities, technical colleges, and dental organisations to improve standards in daily oral care for seniors and vulnerable populations.
Whether he's treating a patient in their favourite recliner or leading a workshop for aged care staff, Dr. Wotherspoon remains grounded in his core philosophy: respect for patients, commitment to innovation, and a belief that everyone deserves access to dignified, high-quality dental care.
