About Dannica Brennan

Flossologie is a Tampa-area dental practice whose restorative work is organized around adhesive, minimally invasive protocols: the natural tooth is used as the template, and each restorative layer is built to replicate the structure it replaces. Because the practice bonds to remaining tooth structure rather than cutting for mechanical retention, onlays and overlays are offered in place of full-coverage crowns, and vital pulp therapy is used where a pulp is irritated or exposed but still viable. Alongside this, the practice runs a biological program grounded in oral-systemic thinking: no mercury amalgam is placed, existing amalgam is removed under protocols intended to limit mercury vapour exposure, restorations are confined to biocompatible resin composite and ceramics, fluoride-free preventive options are available, and ozone and laser therapy are used at hygiene visits to reduce bacterial load.

Common Questions

Why does this practice recommend an onlay or overlay instead of a crown?

The practice states that adhesive bonding lets it remove only unhealthy tooth structure and replace what is missing, rather than cutting a tooth down for mechanical retention. An overlay is described as the biomimetic alternative to a crown when most of the tooth is damaged, delivering comparable compression behaviour without full-coverage preparation. Retained tooth structure is presented as the basis for a stronger remaining tooth.

What are the alternatives to a root canal here?

The practice offers vital pulp therapy, a conservative treatment aimed at preserving pulp vitality in deep-caries or trauma cases where the pulp is exposed or irritated but still viable. Infected or damaged tissue is removed and a medicament, Biodentine, is applied to support healing and protect the remaining pulp. Where a root canal has already been done, restorative need is assessed from how much sound structure remains.

How is existing amalgam handled, and what materials replace it?

The practice does not place mercury amalgam. For patients who want existing amalgam fillings removed, it states that strict protocols are followed to minimise exposure to mercury vapour during removal. Restorations are confined to materials it describes as biocompatible, specifically resin composite and ceramics, which it characterises as less likely to provoke adverse reactions.

What does a hygiene visit involve if I want to avoid fluoride?

Fluoride-free preventive options are offered for patients with sensitivities or a preference for them. Rather than relying on fluoride alone, the practice examines diet, home care habits, breathing and airway patterns, saliva quality and nutritional factors to address the causes of decay. Chairside saliva testing identifies the bacteria present so preventive care and periodontal risk assessment are matched to the individual oral microbiome.

How are ozone and laser therapy used during treatment?

Ozone, described as a naturally occurring form of oxygen, is used during hygiene visits to reduce harmful oral bacteria, support gum health and aid the body's healing response without relying solely on medication. A dental laser is used at the same appointments to reduce bacteria beneath the gumline. Red light therapy may follow an appointment to address gum inflammation and TMJ-related muscle soreness.

What technology is used in the restorative workflow?

The practice reports same-day CEREC restorations, a 3D printer, intraoral cameras and CBCT three-dimensional radiography, together with Guided Biofilm Therapy for cleanings, saliva testing, lasers and red light therapy. It also states that appointments are intentionally longer than at most dental offices so questions can be answered and each step explained, and that scheduling and forms are handled online.
