Hello to our wonderful family of patients,

Our team wants you to know we’re thinking of you.  We hope this email finds you and your family safe and in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have evolved, one thing at Aesthetic Family Dentistry has remained the same: our constant commitment to your safety and health.

As you have surely seen during your visits to our office, infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. Our strict processes have consistently made the care you receive with us both safe and comfortable.  In addition to our already strict infection control protocols we would like to share the additional measures we have been working on that you will see at your next office visit.  For example:

  • Upon entering the office, we will take a temperature reading and ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked to use hand sanitizer which we will provide.
  • You may see that our reception area will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and other items which cannot be properly disinfected. You are encouraged to bring your own iPad, reading materials, etc.
  • Partitions will be up where treatment recommendations are reviewed, appointments made and business transactions occur.
  • We are installing medical grade air purifiers in each treatment room and the reception area.
  • You may notice different mask/shields for certain procedures.
  • Should you choose, you may wait in your vehicle and be texted when we are ready to bring you directly to the treatment area.
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients.
  • We will do our best to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the office at any one time.

We want to assure you we have the best sterilization protocols in place and are closely following recommendations by the CDC, ADA, and OSHA.  We will also continue to monitor these entities for any updated guidelines which may occur.  We are committed to keeping you safe while you are in our hands.  We look forward to seeing you soon and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice.

If you are having a dental issue or have been putting off one now is the time to make an appointment, please call our office at 480-515-0404.  Unresolved dental concerns only get worse and lead to more problems.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to continuing to improve the health of our patients, neighbors and friends in the safest way possible.

Sincerely,

Dr Russell W Roderick and TEAM

Relieve Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Cave Creek

If you haven’t had an anatomy class, you may not know that your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to your skull. You’ll certainly know if they’ve become painful and inflamed, though, because you use them for everyday activities like eating and laughing. Fortunately, we can relieve your pain with TMJ treatment in Cave Creek.

Our treatment will:

  • Use a drug-free method to relieve pressure on your jaw so it can heal
  • Assess your bite and other factors that may contribute to your pain
  • Relieve symptoms like headaches and earaches
  • Prevent pain from spreading from your jaw to your neck, shoulders, and other areas

If you’re experiencing TMJ pain or other symptoms, call us at 480-420-9562.

Ease Pressure on Your Jaw With a Custom Night Guard

During every dental exam, Dr. Russell Roderick will look for signs of TMJ trouble, like a teeth grinding habit that can not only irritate your TMJ but also damage your teeth. If he finds any, he will likely recommend a custom-made night guard or other oral appliance. A night guard will prevent you from clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth. It also relieves pressure on your jaw, so your inflamed joints can heal.

He’ll fit you for a custom night guard by making impressions of your teeth. Unlike a store-bought night guard, it will fit you perfectly. With a custom fit, you won’t be tempted to leave it on your nightstand instead of wearing it.

Dr. Roderick will also determine whether there are any contributing factors that may need treatment. For example, we may be able to fix a bite problem with Invisalign orthodontics.

Seek Help for These TMJ Symptoms

While jaw pain is the primary symptom of a TMJ disorder, or TMD, it isn’t the only one. See us for help if you experience these symptoms along with jaw pain:

  • Swollen face, especially around your jaw
  • Lockjaw, or difficulty opening your mouth
  • Frequent unexplained headaches or earaches
  • Pain in your neck and shoulders

For TMJ treatment in Cave Creek, call 480-420-9562.

The whole office is really nice and Dr. Roderick was so good at explaining the process and reasoning for any procedure. All my questions were answered and my mind was put at ease. From the moment I walked through the door I was treated like I’ve been a patient there for years. They really know how to make you feel comfortable.

Everyone is very friendly and pleasant. I think the most surprising thing from my first visit was how much I actually learned about my mouth and what's going on. Got a good sense that they cared about my health and came up with a good dental plan moving forward.

I moved to the area about 4 years ago now and I’ve been to several different dentist offices to find my favorite one, and this one is absolutely it. Every single employee there is extremely kind and actually cares about you rather than just your wallet. Also, earlier this year I had to get a cavity filled (which is my nightmare situation since I absolutely freak out with needles and shots) and I simply told Dr. Roderick about my fears which was all he needed to ensure my experience was as pleasant as humanly possible. My dental hygienist (I sadly can’t remember her name) is absolutely the best and she’s very very gentle but also super thorough with whatever I’m getting done. I will never change dentist offices!!
