Closure of Smile In Style due to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Posted By: | Published On: | Blog Article

Due to the escalation of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we received a directive from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) and the Australian Dental Association (ADA) on Thursday the 26th of March 2020 to restrict our dental services.  Sadly, as a result of these restrictions, and in order to protect our patients, our staff and the community, we have decided to close our dental practice from Friday 27th of March 2020.

We will be following the advice of the AHPPC and ADA and we will be in contact once they have advised us that it is safe to resume our dental services.

The government has also opened new lines of communication with smartphone users, launching a WhatsApp message group and the Coronavirus Australia app, which will offer features such as       up-to-date COVID-19 information, a symptoms checker, advice, news and media, resources and you can even register your isolation.

We kindly ask that as members of our Smile In Style community, that you follow the State and Federal Government guidelines to restrict the spread of COVID-19, so that we can flatten the curve and enable vital access to health services in Victoria those that need it.

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.
