What is Dental Thermography?
Thermography, also called medical thermal imaging, is the study and application of bio-thermal processes in an attempt to assess and diagnose potential health problems and diseases. It is, in effect, the use of thermal imaging to visually evaluate changes that are currently happening in the body.
This is opening up a lot of potential uses in dentistry. It can be used to look for things like infections and inflammation issues in the head and neck areas, TMJ problems and Thyroid Gland function, it can do it without use of radiation. Thermographic diagnoses are non-invasive and don’t rely on ionising radiation. No physical contact has to be made with the patient, so the procedure it painless, and it can all be done within minutes.
Current Dental Applications
Thermography is an effective, non-invasive way to identify problematic areas in the mouth that might get missed by other detection methods (or at least missed for many months until real problems begin to develop). By focusing on this technology, it’s possible to catch those functional and physiological changes before problematic and painful structural changes occur.
Studies have shown that thermography can help in the assessment of various dysfunctions, diseases, and other concerns in the head and neck region. With this technology it is possible to get real qualitative and quantitative diagnoses on your dental situation.
Why consider doing a Breast and Dental Thermography ?
What does periodontal disease have to do with breast cancer? Research is now revealing that your life may depend on your good oral health. The scientific community has now realized a direct link between periodontal disease and nearly all the organs in your body. In October 2010, breast cancer made it on to the list of cancers linked to periodontal disease.
Inflammation in the body is associated with nearly all types of cancers, and periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease by nature. Another truly alarming fact is that periodontal disease affects 8 out of 10 adults and it is contagious, easily transmitted from one person to another.

Cannot recommend Thermography Clinic Ireland highly enough
I would like to take this opportunity to express how grateful I am for Thermography. Without this procedure, I would not have been diagnosed in the early stages of invasive ductal carcinomaThermography is a very painless and valuable procedure in which I would recommend for early detection. My thermography appointment was scheduled for the beginning of May 2014, following this process I was diagnosed with breast cancerI am grateful for Gretta’s knowledge and compassion and cannot recommend Thermography Clinic Ireland highly enough

Wonderful experience
Hi Gretta,
I would like to thank you so much for the wonderful experience I had this past Tuesday at your clinic for a Thermography screening. Your professionalism and easy-going manner made me feel comfortable and at ease, right from the minute I walked through your doorsI have never had a mammogram but have heard from MANY of my friends that have had them done, what a horrible experience it was for them. I will definitely be recommending they come and see you!!

Thermography
I attended Thermography Clinic Ireland recently. My history is, my sibling passed away a year ago from an aggressive form of Breast Cancer. I am aware that I have to be checked regularly because of this. I've attended hospital for a few mammograms, one of which came back with a queryI'm happy to say that my results from Thermography showed me that I'm at a normal range at the moment. This procedure was non-invasive and I felt very comfortable with it. Results were back as quick as a mammogram would be, and there was no radiation involved. l will definitely include Thermography in my yearly assessment of my breast health

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
I attended Gretta Cullen for assistance with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and she treated the whole endocrine system. l was offered testing of adrenal gland function together with full functional analysis of recent blood work and also thyroid fully investigated including antibody screening reverse T3 free T4 and T3 ferritin, Vit D level, B 12All the imbalances were identified & corrected. Gretta explained that no one gland works in isolation so to comprehensively treat PCOS it is important to treat the person as a whole and identify their individual imbalancesI hadn't attended my endocrinologist in over 3 years until just recently and he was extremely happy with my blood test results overall. Needless to say I'm very happy with the treatment I've received and would have no hesitation recommending Gretta and indeed Thermography Clinic lreland to anyone

Working with Gretta… simply empowered me
Working with Gretta shortly after my breast cancer diagnosis simply empowered me to face this journey with a calmness greater than I felt initially. She explained so much to me during my consultations about how our bodies work and the power we have to self heal. Almost one year on Gretta is still a part of this journey with me and I can confidentially say that she pulled me up when I fell down. I will always opt for a thermography scan over mammograms; they are painless, accurate and can detect a problem a lot earlier than other scans. Thank you Gretta for everything.

CHRONIC FATIGUE
Hi Gretta,I would just like to say a very big "Thank You" for your impact on Darragh. His energy began to return in March and has been improving exponentially ever since. The guy who has been practically housebound for years is now climbing Torc Mountain in Killarney. You have literally given me my son back and he can now look forward to going to college and re-joining the human race. You were the last throw of the dice, he was sick of doctors and alternative people as nobody had actually improved his quality of life. His peak flow is now averaging 650. I think I can cancel his next appointment at the Difficult Asthma Clinic in CUH! You have literally delivered a miracle to this household, he turned 20 at the weekend and it was the first birthday in years where he was healthy and able to look forward with confidence to his future. Many thanks,
- Liz
