\"Dentist<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We firmly believe that the body is a holistic\norganism and as a result, the body reacts to how we treat our teeth and gums.\nNew research is constantly emerging regarding the intimate links that seem to\nconnect our entire body and the way it reacts organically to different\npressures. We can say that heart disease in some instances has been seen to be\nlinked with gum disease, but can only offer theories as to why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can understand that through poor oral health,\npoor nutrition can eventuate which can lead to a number of degenerative effects\nupon the body. As we age, we need to be more aware of the health of teeth and\ngums so that we are able to support our bodies nutritionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children in their first few years of life grow at\nan amazing speed. By taking care of their milk teeth in a friendly and\nentertaining way, we hope to establish a strong foundation to build on, so that\nthey can enjoy a healthy relationship with their dentist\nin Mackay<\/a>\nin the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much that we can do for you that you\nmight not have even been aware of. We go beyond filling and drilling. We create\nnew smiles, we restore former ones and we aim to have you keep your teeth for\nlife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What alternative treatments do we provide?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nprofessionals trained in the anatomy and physiology of the face, neck and mouth\nareas, problems relating to these areas can be dealt with by us, not only your\ndoctor. In fact, doctors may refer you to see us regarding some issues that you\nmay have thought best to visit them about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of us snore. It actually can become a serious\nhealth hazard to the snorers and their loved ones as extreme exhaustion, memory\nloss, headaches and other symptoms can often interfere with day to day life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By installing a device in your mouth that you can\nwear comfortably when you go to sleep, we can shift forward the lower jaw\nslightly to allow the over relaxed muscles in the back of the throat to no\nlonger vibrate against one another. This can greatly reduce the instances of\nsnoring and sleep apnea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also provide people who grind their teeth\nin their sleep a chance to relieve the pressure in their jaws by providing them\nwith a similar device. Serious jaw pain, headaches and worn down teeth are a\nsign of this condition which is often related to stress and often the slumberer\ndoesn\u2019t even know they are doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a simple dentist in Mackay<\/strong>, we are a modern day practice that has all the mod cons but still hold true to tried and tested traditions of integrity, honesty and compassion. Your health and well-being is of the utmost importance to us and we welcome you with open arms into our family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
