No difference between holistic and ordinary dentists. Their policy is to drill, fill and bill. Last…read morevisit was horrific and my child couldn't eat for 2 days because she was afraid that her teeth would get rotten. That was huge stress for me as I always fought to gain weight with her (she is still a tiny, fragile girl). Here is the whole story: After we entered the room, I politely asked the dentists if she could use a camera to check my daughter's teeth. She was very surprised and asked me for a reason. I said that, in my opinion, poking teeth with a dental probe could potentially leave microscopic holes and cause the need for more fillings in 6 months' time. The dentist said that it was absolutely impossible. She stated as well that she couldn't do a thorough checkup due to my requirement. I asked her again if she would be so kind as to use the camera (Diagnocam) for early detection of tooth decay only. Diagnocam was the main reason why we came such a long distance to Dent8.Finally, she agreed, but was visibly shaken to the point that her hands were trembling during my daughter's examination. It looked like I touched the deepest secret of dentistry, that caused the dentist's reaction. During the visit my 12 year old heard from the dentist (and her assistant) that her teeth would fall out, that she would have an infection and suffer from toothache if she left her teeth untreated.I realise that my daughter has decay in her 2 molars and they must be sorted out, sooner or later. However, this is my child, and as her mother, I would like to decide how and when she needs that treatment. Of course, I always take advice from the experts, professional and qualified staff and I'm very grateful for all tips. My daughter was threatened with losing her teeth and traumatised by comments from the dentist and her assistant. At the end of the visit, I apologised to both ladies for any inconvenience that my request caused. The dentist stated that in her 42 years' career had never had a client like me. I thought to myself that a person with such a huge amount of experience should have examined and diagnosed teeth even without looking (I'm joking now). To be honest, it was never my intention to offend anyone. I'm an easy going person with a big dose of tolerance and understanding of others` views (or attitudes, behaviours etc.), but sometimes certain things must be said. If you're a caring parent, avoid this place called Dent8. They don't care about patients at all, but money. If you want to save your child from stress try "no drill dentistry" (not the best option for those who avoid fluoride) in Sunshine Coast practice, Diagnocam is also available there. They are kind and make no fuss about parents' requirements. Also, look for information about "arrested cavity" and you will know that cavities or decay can be healed and teeth have the ability to regrow and rebuild themselves (not just coconut or sesame seed oil pulling can do that but many other remedies). In the end, Weston price book is highly recommended too. PS: I wrote twice about the whole incident to the owner of the practice but was totally ignored. Ewelina W.

I recently thought about changing dentist for better convenience. I'm pretty glad I chose this one…read more Everything in the clinic is very new. They have a toilet and magazines that aren't torn. A fish tank. A TV is on the ceiling of the clinic I was in. But what I mainly noticed was what was done during my scale and clean. It's one of the best ones I've had and i was thankful for the fluoride foam on the tooth tray which was at the end. My old dentist uses a blue gel which is fairly gummy and it's kinda gross seeing as you're not to rinse it out for half an hour. They smear it on with a cotton wad and it gets all over my lips and tongue. X-rays are instant. They show up on a computer monitor also mounted up high so that you, the patient, can it straight away. They also took some photos using a tube camera of the tops of my teeth which were also displayed instantly. I got a care pack on leaving, containing a toothbrush, two mini toothpaste, a stick flosser and magnet. Should you be too early there is also a cafe just two shops away.

There's a spacious brand-new waiting room with a TV (blah) and a lot of magazines, including awesome trashy mags for women (When did Madonna's daughter become that tall? And why do I care? Well, anything to distract me from the upcoming dental drill, surely the most commonly-used torture instrument still in use throughout Australia). Shockingly, my appointment was on time. I was the third patient of the day, so that might be something to do with it - but still you get the feeling of a well-run ship here. There was only one counter staff member, but she can call on her mother if she needs help (her mother is a dental assistant who also works here). I hate the dentist. But if you have to go, here's a good place.

So well, in fact, that I managed to avoid going to the dentist for almost five years. And as anyone who has ever had a long lay off time between dental examinations can attest to - an impending visit is an unpleasant prospect. Although, I am of the opinion that it's more the thought of going to the dentist that's troubling rather than the half an hour actually in the chair. That was certainly the case when I visited Doctor Leanne Leung at Ashgrove Dental. My understanding is that most people base their choice of dentist on recommendations and a long association with a particular practice. I chose Ashgrove Dental based entirely on convenience of location and the fact I am incredibly lazy. But at no stage was I given reason to regret my choice. The receptionist was relaxed and informal which allowed me to relax a bit. I didn't wait long for Doctor Leung to usher me into the chair and it seemed like no time at all before i was bounding out of it. Gentle and professional the whole way through Doctor Leung finished the consultation by explaining exactly what was going on in mouth. The bad news, I would be needing a hole filled. The good, I would be getting it done at Ashgrove Dental.

I'm going to conform to mass thinking here and say I hate the dentist. HATE. About three years ago…read moreI had a dreadful experience where I was told my teeth were enormous, after which the dentist started an onslaught of unusually brutal needle pricks into my mouth and gums. I walked away from that fairly traumatised to say the least. So when I got toothache earlier this month I was simply cringing at the thought of letting another one of those devils brandish their needle swords within my mouth. I have a very negative relationship with drills of any sort as a result. Thank goodness my mum was on the ball. She recommended her Dentist, Everton Hills Dental Clinic and now I'm never looking back! Their chief Dentist, Tina, is warm and humorous and really took the edge off my steely demeanour when I first walked in. And they TELL you what's going on. Tina is very open about why she's doing exactly what she's doing and made sure I was up to speed with all her in-my-mouth activities. I'm a person who needs to know everything that's happening and why and she indulged me completely. I was never taken by surprise and I felt completely at ease considering I was in a dentist chair. She even obliged my childish request to have tooth mousse that was strawberry flavoured. How nice. I can safely say that I'll now only avoid the dentist like a cold rather than the plague, like before. Such nice staff in the type of positive atmosphere that I really appreciate. Everton Hills Dental Clinic is nestled amongst other shops next to the IGA at the Watergarden.

She's very keen to do cosmetic work. They did a quote for some cosmetic work and were dearer than some specialists dentists I got quotes from and they recommended a lot more than needed to be done. I wouldn't have gone through them even though they were cheaper than the place I went to as the owner is not highly trained in cosmetic dentistry. Go to a prosthodontist if you want veneers, crowns or implants, especially if you're needing a few of them. I think this is extremely important when you are working on people's teeth in a cosmetic way as the work can effect your bite pattern, tooth durability and aesthetic outcome. This practice is OK for cleans and normal dentistry but nothing fancy.
