Dr Natasha Mahiepala B.D.S (Qld)
Principal Dentist
After working at the practice for over six years, Dr Natasha is the proud owner of the newly refurbished Blue Gum Dental Clinic.
After growing up in North-West Australia, Dr Natasha graduated locally from Rossmoyne Senior High and then followed a career opportunity across the country to sunny far North Queensland to pursue her interest in dental science. She graduated from James Cook University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery.
Her training allowed her to work across different environments, from rural and remote locations such as Darwin/Tiwi Islands and the Cairns/Tablelands region to leading metropolitan practices. While studying, she was also fortunate enough to be sponsored for an enriching 4-week international placement at the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka, which focused on oral medicine, oral surgery and oral pathology.
Her passion and interest in paediatrics allowed her team research project surrounding Paediatric Dental Anxiety to be recognised and published in the European Paediatric Dental Journal. She was also invited to present the findings at a global conference on education and psychological sciences hosted in Taiwan.
With a true passion for pediatric dentistry, Dr Natasha volunteered her time to help a children’s orphanage in Cambodia with all their dental needs. Dr Natasha enjoys practising all aspects of dentistry and is pleased to offer the latest treatment in orthodontics through ClearCorrect to her patients. Outside of work, Dr Natasha enjoys event planning, travelling (although not so much lately), baking and is a bit of a Marvel fangirl.
