Dr Natsumi Iwashima

Dentist

I grew up in Nagano and Yamagata, Japan before moving to Sydney in my primary school years. I went on to study at the University of Sydney, completing a Bachelor of Science, followed by a Bachelor of Dentistry, graduating with honours. Whilst at university I also worked full and part time as a dental assistant.

Since graduation, I have been working in private practice in Sydney. I joined the team at Blue House Dental in 2012, since then I have also been utilising my language skills in Japanese to serve the local Japanese community.

Prevention is my biggest concern and I regard regular check-ups as an integral part of prevention and early detection. I am conservative in my approach to treatment and try to know and stay within my limits as a practitioner so as to provide you with the utmost in care. I endeavour to present you treatment options that I would consider for my own mouth and will try my best to look after you in a way that I would like to be taken care of.

Outside of dentistry, I have always been quite active. These days I enjoy playing tennis and basketball on the weekends. In summer I enjoy boogie boarding and attempting to surf. Having grown up in the mountainous areas of Japan, I also enjoy skiing in winter when the opportunity presents itself. Other than that, I like to play board games, computer games and devouring tasty morsels of food which was greatly influenced by my husband. I also love going back to Japan for the food, shopping and most of all, my family.

I look forward to meeting and taking care of you and your family.
