Céline Higton — Excellence in Dentistry

What started as a simple hashtag has grown into a global community of like-minded dentists who believe great dentistry starts with isolation, intention, and ultimate respect for the details. Started by dentist and educator, Celine Higton, the #rubberdamfam brings together clinicians who refuse to cut corners – championing predictable rubber dam isolation, modern adhesive techniques and uncompromising standards to deliver the best possible care for our patients.

At the heart of the #rubberdamfam is kaizen – the commitment to small, continuous improvements that add up to exceptional dentistry over time. It's not about perfection or comparison; it's about being the best clinician you can be, running your own race, and raising your standards with every case.

We believe in doing right by our patients, refusing to cut corners, and respecting the details that make dentistry predictable and ethical. Just as importantly, the #rubberdamfam is built on kindness – towards patients, colleagues, and ourselves – because great dentistry and a great community go hand in hand.
