How To Fix A Narrow Jaw In Your Child With An Expansion Device

Posted By Dr. Meenakshi Rajcoomar
Smiling child with backpack, representing pediatric jaw expansion treatment for narrow jaw in children in Sunbury

Dr Meenakshi Rajcoomar has been practising as a dentist for the past 20 years and has developed a keen interest in orthodontics. This stemmed from the fact that, as a child, she had four teeth removed to make room for braces and ended up with beautiful, straight teeth. However, in the last 10 years, due to the loss of space from removing teeth, Dr Meenakshi actually started to suffer from a lot of health issues.  This led her to deepen her knowledge of jaw pain, sleep apnoea, temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders and how these are all linked to extraction orthodontics. … Continue reading

Safe Amalgam Removal Protocol

  • Chlorella drink prior is given prior to treatment and a mouth rinse post-treatment. Chlorella can help bind and prevent mercury absorption.
  • Physical protective barriers - Masks, protective coverings, eyewear, in-mouth non-latex dental dams, and other steps are taken to prevent physical contact with mercury for the patient and staff.
  • Oral evacuation - Generous amounts of water are used to continuously rinse particulate matter from the mouth while suctioning it away. Combined with protective dental dams, this prevents patients from swallowing dental amalgam particles during treatment. Additionally, the rinsing helps lower the temperature of the filling, reducing the amount of mercury vapour released.
  • External air - A continuous supply of non-contaminated air or oxygen is delivered via a mask or similar apparatus, preventing inhalation of mercury vapour or particles.
  • "Chunk it out" method - Rather than using a drill to grind the filling down, it is carefully removed in the largest possible pieces, minimising friction, vaporisation.
  • High Volume Evacuation Suction is used by the dental assistant to remove amalgam particles in the mouth.
  • High Volume Air suction and Air Purifiers are used in the clinical room that is able to remove mercury vapour from the room.
  • Amalgam separator use - This device collects mercury-contaminated waste before it can enter the sewage system, allowing us to dispose of it safely.
