TOTAL CARE

Total Care is the future of healthcare. Many years of research have shown that diseases have effects on more than just one body organ. For optimal diagnosis and treatment, diseases need to be treated through a combined approach from a team of Doctors. This team usually incorporates Medical Doctors, Dentists, Physiotherapists and more. The aim of the Total Care concept is to address the complete well-being of the patient in an integrated manner.  

In reality, however, this ideal approach is difficult to achieve. Different Doctors are scattered in various locations. It is often hard for patients to travel to the offices of numerous Doctors, if they are all in different places. It is also difficult for the Doctors to communicate with each other regarding the best treatment approach for their patients, if they are in disparate locations. This usually results in patients being unable to make the appointments they need and receive the care they require.

Here at ABC Dental, we are proud to be your first point of contact for any dental healthcare requirements. In addition to offering complete care dentistry, we are also part of an allied health team. Delivering healthcare in more ways than just dentistry.

In conjunction with ABC Dental, Bondi Healthcare also offers:

• Bondi General Medical Practice
• Compounding Pharmacy
• Fresh Therapeutics
• Traditional Chinese Medicine Australia
• Eternal Health Medical Centre

If your treatment requires care from other Doctors, we can schedule your referrals promptly and easily, all within the one, convenient location. We understand everyone has a busy schedule, and your time is both precious and valuable. You shouldn’t have to travel far to get the treatment that you require.

Many dental diseases can effect overall general health, as several medical ailments and medications cause conditions in the mouth. For example:

• People with long-term gum diseases have a higher incidence of heart conditions and premature births.
• Multiple dental abscesses may indicate a person is affected by diabetes.
• Various medications can cause dry mouth, thereby decreasing a person’s resistance to dental decay and other dental conditions.
• A mother’s poor dental health can be passed onto her child in the early stages in infancy. This decreases the baby’s immunity and increases the chance of contracting dental diseases in the future.

In these cases, and in many others, a patient needs to be seen by both Dentists and Doctors as a team to treat and resolve the problem. It is no good treating only the dental disease, if a Medical Doctor has not addressed the main cause of the problem. At ABC Dental, we are well aware of this need. We have access to a large number of health specialists located within the same center. Therefore, we are proud to put into practice the concept of Total Care, so that you and your family can enjoy the complete well-being you deserve.
