Dental & Skin Clinic

06/09/2026

For those who are new here, hi 👋 I’m Dr Rita.

I’m a holistic and low tox dentist, kinesiologist and intuitive.

I’ve been a dentist for 12 years and found kinesiology and spirituality much later in life. I believe in intuition, energy, the spirit world and all things woo woo

I question conventional thinking and I’m completely okay with that.

I’m anti fluoride, but very pro choice. You don’t have to share my views to feel welcome here.

I started Dental + Skin Clinic from scratch. It began as a cosmetic dental clinic, but as I evolved, so did the clinic. Today it reflects my passion for holistic, low tox dentistry, conservative Xray use and looking at oral health as part of the whole person.

The “skin” has evolved too. For me, it now represents spirituality + kinesiology

I’m lucky to have a beautiful team of oral health therapists, dental nurses and an amazing practice manager who bring it all to life 🤍

Above all, I believe in being an advocate for my patients. I’m here to give you information, options and a different perspective so you can make your own informed choices.

You don’t have to believe what I believe to be welcome here.

REALISTIC TEETH WHITENING RESULTS 🦷✨

These photos were taken just 90 minutes apart — immediately before and after an in chair teeth whitening treatment.

When it comes to whitening, we’re not trying to create unnaturally white teeth.

A realistic expectation is around a 10–15% overall improvement in brightness, depending on your starting shade, enamel and the type of staining present.

Some teeth respond more dramatically than others. Some stains are more stubborn. Natural variation between teeth is completely normal.

The goal is simple: your teeth, just brighter and fresher.

No exaggerated expectations. Just realistic whitening results.

Celery juice as a natural mouthwash 🌿🦷

Why I like it as a holistic dentist:

🌿 Naturally occurring mineral salts
Celery juice contains naturally occurring mineral salts that can complement a simple oral care routine.

💧 Supports saliva and hydration
Saliva is one of the mouth’s natural protective mechanisms, helping wash away food debris and maintain the oral environment.

🦠 Supports the oral environment
Within the Medical Medium framework, celery juice is believed to help support a healthy balance in the mouth.

🌱 No alcohol or harsh antiseptic ingredients
A gentle option for those wanting to reduce conventional mouthwash ingredients.

👄 Simple to use
Take a sip of fresh celery juice, swish it around your teeth and gums, then swallow.

Celery juice doesn’t replace brushing, interdental cleaning or professional dental care. I see it as a simple addition to a low tox oral care routine.

PET PEEVE: Seeing X rays included in new patient appointment marketing.

You know the ads.

New patient check up + clean + X rays.

Every time I see one, I cringe a little.

X rays use ionising radiation.

Do we take X rays at Dental + Skin Clinic? Of course we do.

Sometimes we need them. They can show us things we simply cannot see by looking in your mouth and they can be an important part of making the right diagnosis.

But do we like taking them?

No. We hate taking X rays.

That might sound strange coming from a dentist, but I don’t think radiation should be treated like a standard inclusion just because it’s your first appointment at a new clinic.

This is why we ask every new patient to send us their previous dental X rays before they come in.

Even if you are coming to us with a brand new problem, we still want to see them.

Old X rays give us context.

They show us where you’ve come from. We can compare what we’re seeing today with what was happening previously and get a much better picture of your dental history.

Then we meet you.

We listen.

We examine you.

We look at what information we already have and decide what else we actually need.

Sometimes that means we need to take new X rays. If they’re clinically indicated, we’ll take them.

Sometimes we don’t.

What we don’t want to do is take another X ray simply because you’re a new patient and that’s what comes with the appointment.

X rays are an incredibly useful diagnostic tool.

They’re also radiation.

So our approach is pretty simple.

Use the information we already have.
Take new X rays when we actually need them.
Avoid unnecessary radiation where we can.

That’s how we would want to be treated too.

A small filling can make a big difference 🦷✨

This front tooth had an area of decay that was affecting both the health and appearance of the tooth. We carefully removed the decay and restored the tooth with a BPA free tooth coloured filling, blending it naturally with the surrounding enamel.

The goal is always more than simply “filling a hole”.

We want to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while choosing materials that are strong, aesthetic and biocompatible.

The result? A restoration designed to look and feel like part of the natural tooth 🤍

At Dental + Skin Clinic, we believe the materials we place in your mouth matter.

🌿 BPA free
🦷 Natural look and feel
✨ Strong and durable
🤍 Biocompatible material choices

Would you choose a BPA free filling if you knew the option was available?
