Acupuncture is a time-tested and natural treatment modality that complements our holistic approach to your dental care. It originated in China and has been practiced successfully for more than 2500 years!
At Lumino Smiles, we use acupuncture to help with the following:
- Patient Stress and Anxiety
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Pain Relief and Comfort
- As Part of Natural Healing
Acupuncture can also help in smoking cessation.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture complements modern dental care and can aid in various treatments or help ease anxiety. We’re thrilled to offer this holistic treatment course to our valued patients.
Your Pascoe Vale dentist uses small, sterile needles to penetrate various points on the body. These are not traditional needles that can cause anxiety. They are gentle and small.
By accessing specific points, your dentist can complement your treatment and aid in your relaxation/pain relief.
The Acupuncture Process Explained
- General Consultation: Your dentist has a chat with you to determine your goals and plan your custom acupuncture session.
- Acupuncture Session: Your consultation helps your dentist determine the best placement for the acupuncture needles. We place them based on your goals or what you hope to achieve. For example, bruxism cessation placement may successfully treat this issue or contribute to treatment.
- Time to Unwind: After needle placement, you sit back and relax, allowing the ancient practice to work for you.
- After Your Treatment: The dentist will provide custom aftercare instructions. However, acupuncture is not painful and doesn’t require a recovery. Recommendations might include mindful breathing or hydration.
