Founding Holistic Practioner

Dr. David Cowhig of Queensland Holistic Dental, is an Anglo-Irish dentist, trained at Kings College Dental School in London. He was Resident for oral surgery and restorative dentistry. Though trained in orthodox dentistry, David discovered holistic dentistry early in his career, and immediately was convinced he could serve patients more effectively with this whole-body approach.

While striving to increase his knowledge about the effects of poor nutrition and environmental toxins, he gained a fellowship with the A.C.N.E.M. (Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine) in 1998, and also became a member of ASOMAT (Australasian Society of Oral Medicine and Toxicology) in 1998. In an effort to bridge the gap between standard and progressive alternative dentistry, David has known and worked alongside many dedicated professionals in both fields and has already built up a succesful network of like-minded health providers.

David moved to Australia in 1998 and set up Queensland Holistic Dental in Brisbane City.

In August 2008, Queensland Holistic Dental rebranded to dental wellness, and moved the surgery to a purpose-designed clinic in The Gap, in Brisbane' western suburbs, where he serves regular patients from as far away as Papua New Guinea.
