Oral Health Therapist
I am Jo – the Oral Health Therapist at Pearly Whites Dental. I moved from the Philippines at a young age and have proudly called it home ever since.
I later moved to Perth and completed a Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy at Curtin University. During university I worked at Pearly Whites Dental as a dental assistant , which sparked my passion for dentistry and community care.
I have practiced in Darwin as an Oral Health Therapist and now excited to be working back in Broome. In a community with limited access to specialist services, I am passionate about preventive care and am dedicated to diagnosing and treating periodontal disease ( gum disease with bone loss ) , and teaching patients how to look after their oral health.
I have a gentle, friendly approach with children and love making dental visits a positive experience for young patients whether it is to get the child used to the Dentist for routine check ups and cleans, setting them up for a positive attitude towards Dentistry , or to treat dental caries in a helpful, non-judgemental and kind way
If you would like:
- Alternative to School dental services (If your child is eligible for the Child Dental Benefit Scheme, we BULK BILL)
- A check-up and clean without the wait
- Teeth whitening
- Treatment and maintenance of periodontal disease
Come and see me!
Jing Qian Pang
Dentist
Jing Qian graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2024 and has spent the past eight years living and studying in Melbourne. She previously worked with Dental Health Services WA gaining broad experience in both metropolitan and rural dental care. Following this, she moved to Broome, excited by the opportunity to live in remote Western Australia, working with her sister in the warm and supportive environment of Pearly Whites Dental.
She enjoys all areas of general dentistry and is particularly passionate about helping patients feel relaxed and supported throughout their treatment, especially those who may feel nervous in the dental chair.
Outside of work, Jing Qian enjoys playing piano, folding origami, and discovering new brunch cafés. As an identical twin, she has shared not only the same educational and professional journey as her sister, but also an unusually aligned set of interests. She values the opportunity to work alongside her twin every day in the same practice.
Jing Qian has quickly become a valued member of the team, contributing a thoughtful, gentle approach and strong rapport with patients.
Jing Ya Pang
Dentist
Jing Ya graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2024 and has spent the past eight years living and studying in Melbourne.

Following this, she moved to Broome, excited by the opportunity to live in remote Western Australia, working with her sister in the warm and supportive environment of Pearly Whites Dental.

Working alongside her at the practice makes the experience all the more special.
Jing Ya has been a wonderful addition to the team, bringing a calm, caring approach and a genuine commitment to patient comfort.
Cathy
Practice Manager
Cathy grew up in Melbourne before moving to Broome in 2016, where she worked as Practice Manager for Broome Medical Clinic and Kimberley Medical Clinic before joining Pearly Whites Dental in July 2019.
Cathy strives to create a peaceful and welcoming environment from the moment you arrive and has a special interest in making sure people feel comfortable whilst visiting the Dentist.
She is also responsible for ensuring the practice runs smoothly.
Our Premises
We have tried our very best to create an inviting, welcoming, and calming space for our patients so everything from the reception/waiting area to the surgeries was designed with this in mind.
Going to the dentist can be one of the worse memories and experiences for many people and because of this, we aim to have your experience to be light and enjoyable and the very best that it can be.
From the time you enter, you will notice that the surgery is not “flashy” and clinical like the trend in many City practices but rather has a modest “Broome” look and feel. We have taken care to choose decor and materials that reflect the Broome lifestyle and where possible, we have used recycled materials from early Broome buildings.
New Dental Room
We have opened a new dental room fitted with the latest modern equipment, enabling the team to deliver even higher quality care and greater comfort for patients. This upgrade strengthens our ability to serve the Broome community with comprehensive, reliable, and advanced dental services.
