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.

I've always been terrified of the dentist but after a few visits to Le Tooth, that's all changed…read more Dr Hieu Le immediately put me at ease (he's very calming) he took my concerns(terror!) on board and was very gentle. I had complete trust in him and he did a terrific job with my root canal. His assistant (also the receptionist) was also very friendly and helpful. I almost looked forward to my follow up visits.

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.
