Kushla is originally from New Zealand and joined Josh and the team in 2017.  A visit to the dentist with a toothache ended up with a job offer, so that’s how she got into the dental industry. Kushla has a Cert III in Dental Assisting and has been dental assisting for over 25 years. The thing that she likes the most about her job is that no two days are the same so it certainly doesn’t get boring.

Kushla loves to help people get back their confidence by helping give them beautiful smiles.

When she is not at work she plays “Mum’s taxi” to her 2 teenage boys.  Also, enjoys baking, reading, catching up with friends and family and loves a good Nth Qld Cowboys game!!

Alex started dental assisting with us in 2015, she loves the variety and the staff she gets to work with. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband and dog, not necessarily in that order….. mostly the dog.
