We are back!

Posted By: | Published On: | Blog Article

Last month, Smile In Style Dental Practice had to restrict our Dental Services due to the rapid enforcement of the Coronavirus Level 3 restrictions.  During this time, we continued to monitor our phones and we treated emergency patients who were in pain and needed our care.  All other routine dental treatment had to be deferred.  Our staff followed the government recommendations and stayed at home, practiced social distancing and careful hand washing.  Our dentists used their time wisely and were busy studying many dental online webinars on offer, in between cooking, gardening and tidying the house.

Resuming Our Regular Dental Practices in Moonee Ponds Area

Now, Smile In Style is back open again!  Our Dentists and hygienists have resumed all dental care for our patients. If you have an upcoming appointment, our reception staff will contact you to ask you to complete a COVID-19 form which can be found on our website under the Patient Information tab. This form helps us to screen patients for COVID-19 risk factors as required by the Australian Dental Association. We also ask that you practice social distancing when you come in and use our hand sanitiser on arrival.

We are very grateful to all of you in the community who also followed the government recommendations which has put us in an enviable position in Australia and allowed us to flatten the Coronavirus curve. This effort has saved many lives and kept our hospitals from being over run. Together, we have made a huge difference in working through this Coronavirus Crisis.

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.
