🦷 Expert Care We Confidently Use Ourselves ✨

Trust is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why every member of our team receives the same professional care we provide to our patients.

Today, our dental assistant had a routine scale and polish, a gentle, thorough treatment that removes plaque and tartar, keeps teeth and gums healthy, and brightens the smile. Regular professional cleaning is key to preventing gum disease and maintaining long-term oral health, proving that prevention is always the best approach.

Our team books these appointments regularly too, because the expert care we confidently use ourselves is the same care we recommend to every patient who walks through our doors. 😁

Wishing you a wonderful birthday and a year overflowing with new opportunities, exciting adventures, and everything your heart desires. 💕

Trigger Points Vs Dental Pain 💪🏻🦷

Have you ever had a persistent "toothache" that multiple dental visits and treatments couldn't fix?

If so, you're not alone, and the reason for your ongoing pain might surprise you. Many patients suffering from chronic facial discomfort fall into a gray area where the source isn't an abscessed tooth or a cavity, but a muscle issue known as a trigger point.

The confusion between the two is incredibly common. Dental pain is typically sharp, localized, and results from a structural problem within the tooth or gums. Trigger point pain, however, is often a dull, aching sensation that can "refer" to other areas, making your brain interpret the pain as coming from a seemingly healthy tooth.

Why Your Toothache Might Not Be From a Tooth:

Sometimes jaw muscles become stressed, tight, or overworked (from clenching, grinding, stress, or long dental treatments).
These tight muscles can send pain to the teeth, ears, jaw, or head, this is called referred pain.
This pain feels exactly like a real toothache, but the tooth is actually healthy.

Common causes:

• Stress or clenching / grinding at night
• Long mouth opening during dental visits
• Poor posture (computer, phone use)
• Poor sleep or jaw tension
• Cracked / chipped back teeth from grinding

Signs it's muscle pain, not tooth decay:

• No pain when drinking hot or cold
• No swelling or decay on x-ray
• Pain changes when you massage jaw/temple
• Pain improves with warm compress or stretching

✨ Continuous Learning in Action! ✨

This past weekend, two of our team members attended the Practice Management Seminar: The Professional, Ethical and Legal Role of the Healthcare Receptionist / Administrator hosted by Adv. Frikkie Marais from Assent Compliance at the beautiful Coastlands Skye Hotel.

The seminar covered essential topics including:
• Compliance legally required under POPIA Regulations & HPCSA Booklet 9
• Being OHSC-ready, featuring the newest inspection compliance standards
• Mastering patient privacy, record management, and handling PAIA requests

They also had the wonderful opportunity to connect with administrators from various healthcare fields, not just dental - all of whom play an invaluable role in their practices.

It was an informative, eye-opening day… and the snacks and lunch were an added treat! 😄🍽️

A big thank you to Mark Mathias for visiting our Umhlanga practice! 😃

The Panda Scanner from OrelPlus has been a total game-changer at our Ballito practice — sleek, wireless, precise, and incredibly accurate, so naturally, we had to bring that innovation to our Umhlanga practice as well. ✨

Here’s to next-level scanning… and of course, the cute little pandas! 🐼
