Welcome!

Hello and welcome you gorgeous human! I’m Dr. Tiffany Chen, a periodontist and founder of The Cusp Collective.
This space is created for you. For us.

At my core, I believe a simple thing: Life is meant to be enjoyed.

I don’t mean an endless destructive indulgence of “treat yoself”.
I mean a fully lived life, where you can embrace everything that life has to offer- the opportunities, the beauty amongst the darkness, the understated miracles and unapologetic truths. It is the courage to live in bold technicolour instead of shades of beige.

This philosophy has shaped how I move through the world, how I approach dentistry, and ultimately, why The Cusp Collective exists. I truly believe we can shape our careers and lives to be enjoyed, not merely hustling and surviving.

I see how strong women are, how unstoppable, how fierce, how accomplished we can be given the right support. I also see the insidious and pervasive double standards, the invisible labour, the unspoken expectations and self-imposed shackles.

I think we can all do with a little more audacity, don’t you?

You deserve to enjoy the success you worked so hard to achieve.
You deserve to reach greater heights and more ambitious goals if you wish to.
You deserve to be in spaces that hear you, see you, truly understand you. Spaces that are built for you to flourish and thrive.  

This blog is my invitation to you into such a space. Here, I’ll be sharing real-life experiences, reflections, research, and insights drawn from life in dentistry and beyond. Stories that connect, educate, and name the things many of us feel but rarely articulate.

My hope is that something you read here helps you feel more prepared when you come up against challenges in your career, and more supported as you navigate your own version of success.

Because I believe we’re stronger together, and that when women do better, we all do better.

Welcome to The Cusp Collective. I'm so glad you're here.
