Holistic and Biological Dentistry in Toowoomba
Our Approach to Dental Care
We have a biological approach to all areas of dentistry from managing root canal-treated teeth to amalgam restorations. Many of our patients come to us concerned about the impact that dental treatments could or will have on their general wellbeing, and it is important to be treated by a dentist that shares their concerns.
We consider these precautions a very important factor in preserving everyone’s general health inside and outside the treatment room. We have tailored our dental treatments to the individual’s concerns and understand the link between general wellbeing and dental health.
Holistic and Biological Treatment Protocols
We follow the SMART protocol for amalgam removal recommended by the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology).
Ozone Treatment
Ozone therapy is a revolutionary approach to dental care, known for its natural properties and high biocompatibility. Ozone has many uses for treating dental conditions and promoting better overall health and wellness in the mouth.
When it comes to oral wellness, ozone therapy is widely used to help with infections and decontamination processes. Ozone can safely kill bacteria, viruses and microorganisms that live in the mouth, as well as fight infections to prevent new ones from developing. It can also be used in periodontal therapy, endodontic (root canal) treatments, restorative procedures and more.
One of the great things about ozone therapy is that it is extremely safe. With no negative effects, the decontamination benefits are also used for various medical purposes.
Our practice was the first in Australia to be certified by the Eco Dentistry Association, and as such we don’t place any dental amalgams.
Eco Approved Dentistry
Dental amalgams have been banned or restricted in some countries, and in Australia, there is still an extensive debate about the safety of dental amalgam fillings.
At the moment the decision of whether or not to use amalgam fillings is still a decision between the patient and their dentist. We follow stringent rules for amalgam removal and waste disposal to prevent mercury contamination for our patients, our team and the environment. We have researched and acquired the technology and the protective equipment to perform these procedures as safely as possible.
Catering Care to the Individual’s Needs
We are mindful of the effect certain treatments can have on our patients and want to be able to give patients who request this holistic approach to their treatment the best possible care. Our practice has been purpose-built and designed to care for our patients using advanced technologies, techniques and equipment.
