Dr Liam White BDS (JCU)

29 June 2023

Dr Liam White is a Queenslander going back six generations on his mother’s side. Another Rockhampton local, Liam grew up in the Beef Capital until attending James Cook University to complete his Bachelor of Dentist Surgery.

He went on to train under specialists in paediatric surgery, oral surgery and endodontistry, undertaking placements across the state at Townsville, Cairns and Rockhampton, before working for a year and a half at the Gold Coast. He has now come home to Rockhampton, where he hopes to stay for the foreseeable future at Frenchville Dentists.

Liam’s path into dentistry comes from personal experiences, as someone who self-described as having “pretty bad” teeth growing up. When Liam’s family first moved to Rockhampton and he was around 4 years of age, there was an 8 month wait to see a dentist. After undergoing tooth pain and extractions at a young age, Liam is all too familiar with how important dental health is for one’s physical and mental wellbeing. Dr White says dentistry is often overlooked, despite the fact that people have only one set of teeth to last them from childhood to their golden years.

Dr White says his passion for helping people through dentistry is the most rewarding when everything runs smoothly for his patients, even if they were apprehensive about visiting in the first place.
