Dr Lisa Matriste is a retired, Australian dentist who graduated with Honours from the University of Queensland Dental School in 1986 and is the founder of Laser + Holistic Dental in Melbourne.

Dr Lisa’s interest as a dental practitioner has been, for the last 30 years, embracing advanced technological developments and incorporating these into holistic dentistry, creating “ a unique, science based approach to dentistry.”

Dr Lisa promotes healthy and sustainable practices and has practised mercury-free dentistry for over 30 years. Dr Lisa is also the founder of Say No to Mercury. This organisation is a member of the United Nations Global Mercury Partnership.

Dr Lisa uses her knowledge to lobby Australian and international governments and the World Health Organization to adopt progressive health policies that include accelerating the phase-out of mercury dental amalgam fillings.

Dr Lisa has developed clinical protocols offering health solutions that significantly benefit patients’ general health and well‐being beyond the conventional ‘drill, fill and bill’ approach. Dentistry has been the foundation by which she has helped people to transform their lives. Dr Matriste desires to transfer her knowledge to the next generation and beyond in this new stage of her career.

In this Episode, Dr Lisa and I discuss the difference between conventional and traditional dentistry versus biological and holistic dentistry, we chat about the toxic effects of mercury to human health and our environment, also the importance of safely removing mercury amalgams, we dive into how root canals could be impacting our overall health, Dr Lisa talks about the importance of preconception care from a dental perspective and we also talk about how frequencies and sound therapy could enhance ones dental experience. It was an absolute honour and privilege to have this conversation with Dr Lisa and bring awareness to many unknown dental problems and hidden dental infections that could be contributing to chronic conditions and illness – there is truly so much to take away from this episode, you’ll want to get a pen and paper and take notes for this one!
