A Camera That Lets You Be a Part of Your Dental Decisions
You will be pleased how Dr. Ionescu works together with each patient to make sure your decisions are fully informed. The technology that makes this possible is the intra-oral camera. This miniature video camera displays an accurate and close-up image of the interior of your mouth. It lets you see what problems need attention and what teeth are in good shape. Patients love how this works! Dentistry by Design Horia T. Ionescu, DDS 9381 E. Stockton Blvd., Suite 100 Elk Grove, CA 95624 (916) 685-4662 ElkGroveDentistry.com
The habit: Your teeth were made for eating, not to stand in as a pair of scissors or hold things when your hands are full. When you do this, you put yourself at a higher risk of cracking your teeth, injuring your jaw or accidentally swallowing something you shouldn’t. The solution: Stop and find something or someone to give you a hand. Your mouth will thank you. To read the entire article please visit MouthHealthy.org
KöR® Whitening – Whitening When Other Methods Fail
We are pleased to offer a very effective whitening treatment for severely stained teeth. KöR Whitening is a professional method that will produce brilliant white teeth when other procedures have failed on severe staining, such as that from the antibiotic tetracycline.
We also offer another method with custom whitening trays that are made in our own lab. We provide the instructions and supplies you need to finish the treatment at home. Within 1 – 14 days, you will see amazing results for a brilliant white smile. Dentistry by Design Horia T. Ionescu, DDS 9381 E.

The habit: This nervous habit can chip teeth and impact your jaw. “Placing your jaw for long periods of time in a protruding position can place pressure on it, which is associated with jaw dysfunction,” says Dr. Ruchi Sahota. The solution: Bitter-tasting nail polishes, stress reduction and setting small, realistic goals can help. If certain situations are triggers, hold something to keep your fingers busy.

The habit: Brushing for two minutes twice a day is one of the best habits you can get into. Just make sure you’re not trying too hard. “Brushing with a hard toothbrush, or brushing too hard, can damage teeth and irritate gums,” says Dr. Matthew Messina. The solution: Use a soft toothbrush with the ADA Seal of Acceptance at the proper pressure. “Don’t think ‘scrub.’ Think ‘massage,’” he says. “Save the hard toothbrush for cleaning the grout in the bathroom tile.” To read the entire article please visit MouthHealthy.org
