Important change within our dental team at Dentistry By Design.

After much consideration, Dr Chris Traut, our principal dentist, has decided to cut back on his clinical hours to free up the time needed to pursue new professional, teaching and academic opportunities. His last day of full-time clinical practice at Dentistry By Design will be 16 December 2025. Thereafter he will continue to render services at the practice on a sessional basis to his existing patients.

Dr Traut will not be taking on any new patients going forward, with exceptions being made for clients who have recently received, but not initiated, their treatment plans. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Dr Traut for his years of dedication, professionalism, and commitment to providing high-quality dental care. His contribution to the growth and reputation of our practice has been immense; we wish him all of the best as he embarks into this new phase of his career.

We are also very pleased to announce that the leadership of the practice will continue under the capable hands of Dr Nikita Morar, who will be joining Dentistry By Design as our new resident Dentist. Dr Morar brings with her a wealth of excellent clinical skills, experience, and a warm, patient-centered approach to dentistry. We are confident that she will integrate seamlessly into our practice and continue our commitment to delivering the highest standard of care.

As we transition between clinicians, please be assured that our priority remains your comfort, satisfaction, and oral health. Your existing treatment plans, records, and appointments will remain secure, and we will make every effort to ensure a smooth and seamless transition of care between Dr Traut and Dr Morar.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, or if you would like to schedule an appointment with Dr Morar or discuss your ongoing treatment with us, please do not hesitate to contact the practice. Our team is here to support you and address any queries you may have.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dr Nikita Morar and continuing to serve your dental needs with excellence.

Myth: All wisdom teeth must be removed.
Fact: If they’re healthy, functional, and symptom-free, they can often stay.

Have yours checked if you notice:
🦷 pain, swelling, or repeated gum infections around the back teeth
🦷 food trapping, bad breath, or difficulty cleaning
🦷 decay or damage to the neighbouring molar
🦷 cysts on X-ray, or teeth stuck/angled under the gums
🦷 you’re planning orthodontic treatment

😬 Feeling stressed? Your mouth might be feeling it too.

Stress hormones don’t just crank up your heart rate; they also disrupt the delicate balance in your oral cavity. Here’s how:

What stress can do to your smile:
• Jaw tension & teeth grinding (bruxism) ➡️ headaches, cracked enamel
• Lowered immunity ➡️ more frequent cold sores, mouth ulcers
• Inflammation spikes ➡️ gums bleed or swell more easily, raising gum-disease risk
• Dry mouth ➡️ less protective saliva, faster plaque build-up & decay
• Routine slide ➡️ skipping floss or late-night brushing when you’re exhausted

Simple stress-smart habits:
1️⃣ Breathe & move - mini walks or breathing techniques to calm cortisol levels.
2️⃣ Wear a night guard if you clench or grind.
3️⃣ Sip water often
4️⃣ Keep a travel brush/floss set at your desk for busy days.
5️⃣ Book regular cleanings - catch early signs before they snowball.

Remember: managing stress is self-care from head to tooth. Need help with bruxism, dry mouth, or a stress-check on your gums?

The Dentistry By Design team is here for you. 💬

Consistency is the secret ingredient to a straighter smile ✨

Keep your clear aligners in 20–22 hours a day; remove only for meals, piping hot coffee or tea and brushing. The closer you stick to the schedule, the better the results 🚀

Pro tips:
✔️ Pop them back in right after eating.
✔️ Use chewies for a snug fit.
✔️ Log your wear time in a tracking app.

Little daily habits → big smile transformation. Ready to stay on track?

Healthy smile checklist ✅

• Brush for 2 minutes, twice a day using small circles, it’s gentler on gums and cleans more effectively.
• Pea-sized fluoride toothpaste is enough; more foam ≠ cleaner.
• Light pressure only. Pressing hard can wear enamel and irritate gums.
• Swap your brush every 3 months (or sooner if the bristles fray).
• Floss daily to clean where your brush can’t.
• Wait ~30 minutes after eating/drinking, especially with acidic foods, before brushing to protect enamel.
• Book regular professional cleanings to remove tartar and catch problems early.

Save this for your routine and tag someone who needs a nudge!
