A Special Message from Dr Lisa Matriste
As you read this, I want you to understand that just like you are now, many years ago I was also searching for answers.
Are you wondering:
- “How can I improve my oral health and will my general health also improve?”
- “Is the infection in my mouth causing problems elsewhere in my body?”
- “Am I reacting to the materials in my teeth?”
- “What can I do to make sure my children have better mouths than me?”
It was the premature death of my parents – my mother dying of cancer, and my father suffering a sudden fatal heart attack, my diagnosis of mercury poisoning plus my children’s damaged and crooked teeth that were the main drivers in motivating me on my quest for knowledge. In pursuit of solutions, I was guided to learn from many Masters in many countries who collectively confirmed the profound relationship between your mouth, your quality of life and longevity. The lessons learned allowed me to redefine myself as a dental clinician by developing protocols that offered significant health benefits beyond the conventional ‘drill, fill and bill’ dental approach.
More than forty years has passed since I started my dental career. With time, the knowledge, experiences and insights gained throughout this period have been embedded into the manifestation of Laser+Holistic Dental. I founded Laser + Holistic Dental to become a centre of excellence by investing in innovative technology and acquiring expertise to deliver the services that supported my health philosophy, knowing that I can help others obtain optimal health.
My Triad Health Philosophy
My triad health philosophy is simple:
- Eliminate your exposure to toxins both personally and environmentally
- Provide optimal nutrition and oxygenation for your cells
- Enrich your mind and body with restorative sleep
To integrate these fundamentals into your life, it is critical to detoxify from mercury exposure and decrease the impact of oxidative stress caused by sleep breathing disorders such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. Addressing chronic gum and bone infections is imperative in restoring a balanced, sustainable oral microbiome.
The science is now overwhelmingly in support with compelling evidence linking the oral biofilm/plaque with serious medical conditions1.
On reflecting my life path, I realize that creating Laser + Holistic is one of my life purposes. Dentistry has been the conduit for me to be an instrument of healing, helping people positively transform their lives. My legacy continues within the new generation of carers at Laser + Holistic Dental. They have impressed me with their dedication and empathy. I am confident they will empower you along your health journey.
With Blessings for an abundant and happy life,
Dr Lisa
