Bleeding gums might be the first warning sign of an inflammatory cascade throughout the body. Gram-negative bacteria in the mouth release lipopolysaccharides (LPS), potent endotoxins that trigger inflammatory responses, disrupt gut lining and contribute to numerous chronic conditions. This oral-gut connection may represent a crucial missing link for many people suffering from leaky gut syndrome, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory diseases. Click below to discover how addressing oral health could be the key to resolving seemingly unrelated health issues.
Many people are unaware that the health issues they experience might originate from an unexpected source - their mouth. The connection between oral health and systemic conditions is increasingly recognised in medical research yet remains often overlooked in conventional healthcare approaches.

Set in The Gap, just fifteen minutes out of Brisbane’s city centre, we have custom built the dental wellness experience with your health and the environment in mind.
At our practice we strive to find biocompatible materials to reduce toxicity for everyone, especially the chemically sensitive. Amalgam use is avoided in holistic dentistry – “mercury free” due to concern about possible toxicity problems. We give advice on nutritional supplements prior to amalgam removal and detoxification, especially of residual mercury deposits in body tissues.
We continue to enhance our holistic dental offering by using the most advanced techniques from around the world within our inviting, purpose-designed practice. The issues of safe amalgam removal, safe disposal of mercury, and effective air filtration have all played a part in our practice design, and we have provided links below to some of the solutions we have implemented.
Patient Protection: We safely remove mercury fillings rigourously following the protocols recommended by the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology)
Environment Protection: Our CMA Ecocycle mercury filter stops 99.5% amalgam and Mercury going into our waterways. Just one gram of mercury will contaminate one BILLION litres of water to an unsafe level.
Air filtration: Our Iqair Perfect 16 and Iqair dental series air filters are Swiss made total building filtration systems designed especially for dental clinics. The filters not only clean the air to within 0.003 microns, but also removes all mercury vapour and other dental fumes at the time of your consultation.
Healthy Water: Dental Wellness strives to have the healthiest water available to our clients bringing in water from Mount Tamborine and offering water filtration systems for your whole house.
Surgery lighting: we use full spectrum lighting that emulates natural sunlight. Full spectrum lighting has proven beneficial in the treatment of seasonal affective disorder.
Non-toxic paints: the issue of out-gassing from volatile organic compounds (VOC) in paints has been frequently identified as a cause of environmental toxicity. Dental Wellness has been completely painted in Wattly Id– a low VOC paint.
Digital x rays imaging: the very latest system by Schick, allowing instant digital images with minimal radiation exposure.
Digital photography for comprehensive patient education and visual input on informed choice.
As one of Brisbane’s most celebrated holistic dental practices, we invite you to experience our holistic philosophy.
