MYTOOTHDOCTOR Bushland Beach

MYTOOTHDOCTOR is a paediatric and special-needs-focused dental practice operating from the Bushland Beach Medical Centre at 367 Mount Low Parkway. Founded by Dr Garret Robles, the practice has a particular focus on children, patients with special healthcare needs, and Indigenous oral health, and runs Project Outback Dental as a mobile rural and remote outreach program across north-west Queensland alongside its fixed clinic. The clinic does not present itself as a general adult family practice.

What this clinic offers

Listed services centre on paediatric dentistry — check-ups and cleans, fissure sealants, fillings, simple extractions, and emergency paediatric trauma care — with sedation options available where needed, including nitrous oxide (“happy gas”) relative analgesia and dental general anaesthesia for complex cases. The practice is set up to accept GP and dental-professional referrals for children’s complex treatment needs and trauma cases on a same-day basis. A second site at the Townsville Aboriginal and Islander Health Service (TAIHS) on Gorden Street, Garbutt, supports Indigenous oral health programs.

Who it suits

Children, anxious paediatric patients, and patients with disability or complex healthcare needs who require sedation, accessible equipment, or a longer, more accommodating appointment than a standard general practice can provide. Bushland Beach, Mount Low, Burdell, Bohle Plains, and Deeragun families with young children are within easy reach. Adult patients seeking general or cosmetic dentistry are likely better served by an adult-focused practice.

Practical access

The website lists daily 8:00am–6:00pm operating hours, including weekends, reflecting the clinic’s emergency and referral focus. Wheelchair access and free parking are available at the medical-centre site, which carries accessible special-care equipment. Transport assistance can be arranged on request. The practice notes all dental nursing staff are Australian Dental Association certified.

Health funds and payment

The clinic accepts HICAPS for on-the-spot claiming, the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) for eligible children, and Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) arrangements. Smile.com.au, Denticare, and Supercare payment programs are also accepted. Specific preferred-provider arrangements with private health funds should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
