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

We are pleased to introduce Dr Karen Huang as part of our clinical team at Dentistry by Design 🦷

Hi, I’m Dr. Karen Huang

I’m a general dentist, graduated with various distinctions from the University of Pretoria, and currently pursuing an Endodontic Diploma. Passionate about biomimetic dentistry, root canal treatments, and minimally invasive aesthetics.

Beyond the clinic, I love exploring new cuisines, scenic walks, sketching, and painting - always fueled by good coffee and great friends. I believe in creating a gentle, comfortable dental experience while continuously growing through learning and case discussions. Always curious, always evolving – and always excited to share a smile.

😬 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!

⏰ Tooth problems

What starts as a tiny stain can snowball from a quick polish ($) ➜ small filling ($$) ➜ root-canal crown ($$$) ➜ full implant ($$$$)

Every stage of decay means more time in the chair, more anaesthetic, and yes, more money.

Your move:

Book a six-month check-up & scale-and-polish to stop decay before it starts.

Treat tiny cavities early - modern fillings are quick, painless, and budget-friendly.

Don’t ignore twinges or sensitivity; they’re whispers before a shout. Preventive visits are the cheapest, healthiest investment you’ll ever make in your smile.

🦷 Did you know?

Tooth enamel contains no living cells, so once it’s damaged by decay or trauma, it can’t repair itself. That’s why preventive habits (like brushing & flossing ✨), regular check‑ups, and early‑stage treatments like fillings are so important - small fixes today stop big problems tomorrow!

Keep your smile thriving with smart snacking, fluoride‑rich products, and routine dental visits at Dentistry By Design. Your future self will thank you!
