Tam Nguyen

Dental Hygienist

Tam is a dedicated dental hygienist passionate about making a positive and lasting impact on her patients' oral health. She strives to help patients develop better habits and feel comfortable discussing their dental concerns for themselves and their families. Tam is known for her approachable nature, always ready to assist with questions and provide guidance toward healthier smiles.

Tam earned her Bachelor of Applied Health Science (Oral Health) from the University of Queensland. While initially studying microbiology at QUT, she found her true calling in oral health. Before becoming a dental hygienist, she worked as a dental assistant, giving her invaluable experience in the field. Since graduating in 2006, Tam has worked in private practice, spending 11 years at her previous clinic before joining our team.

Her favourite aspect of her job is building lasting relationships with her patients. She finds great satisfaction in catching up with them during their visits, not just about dental matters but about life in general. Tam's warm rapport with patients has even led to her being affectionately called Tammi or Tim Tam. 

Outside of work, Tam enjoys spending quality time with her husband Nori, daughter Quinn and their toy poodle Mochi. When she isn't catching up on her favourite drama series or enjoying a good book with a cup of tea, Tam has taken up sketching and drawing—a newfound hobby inspired by her daughter's love of drawing princesses and mermaids. A fun fact about Tam is that she's ambidextrous!
