Dr. Mary Ziomek provides relief to those suffering from jaw pain, tension headaches, and facial pain

Rockville, MD -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/02/2016 -- Rockville residents are praising Dr. Mary Ziomek at All Smiles Dentistry for her effective, non-invasive treatment of bruxism. By prescribing custom night guards, Dr. Ziomek is able to help patients find relief from the jaw pain, tension headaches, and facial pain often associated with teething clenching or grinding.

Bruxism occurs when someone grinds or clenches their jaw, primarily during sleep, and when it's chronic, patients suffer face and jaw pain, headaches, and damage to the teeth and enamel. Because of how common bruxism is, Dr. Ziomek recommends that anyone suffering from symptoms prevent permanent damage by wearing a custom nightguard.

After being diagnosed with bruxism, Dr. Ziomek will take an impression of the bottom and top rows of teeth to create a custom nightguard that is flexible, comfortable, and customized for each patient's mouth. It is a quick and painless process and all that is left is for the patient to wear his or her guard every night.

Although some may find it cumbersome to wear the guard each night, it is a critical step in preventing damage from bruxism. In addition to regularly wearing their night guard, patients should pay attention to what aggravates their symptoms. Triggers may include alcohol, caffeine, tension and/or stress.

While some cases of bruxism are obvious, not everyone is aware they are grinding or clenching their teeth, which is why regular checkups are critical to dental health. By watching for symptoms or triggers and seeking medical help from Dr. Ziomek, patients can trust that they will find relief from their bruxism.

Dr. Ziomek is currently accepting new patients at her Rockville office. In addition to treating bruxism, she offers an array of services including regular cleanings and fillings, bridges, crowns, dentures, and more.

Dr. Mary Ziomek emphasizes the importance of early pediatric dental care for children

Rockville, MD -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/29/2015 -- Dr. Mary Ziomek, family and cosmetic dentist at All Smiles Dentistry in North Bethesda is encouraging parents of young children to begin proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups early on to give their children the best chance at having healthy smiles for life. Not only will early proper oral hygiene habits benefit the health of their child throughout their life, but it will also prevent costly procedures in the future that will otherwise be required if their child's teeth are neglected.

Currently, oral decay is one of the leading chronic diseases in children nationwide, but it is also entirely preventable with the right treatment, care, and direction from parents at home. Oral decay doesn't just lead to cavities that can be unsightly and costly to restore, but severe decay can cause children excruciating pain that can interfere with their daily life at home and at school. Additionally, lack of gum care can put the vitality of permanent teeth at risk as they grow in during the later childhood years.

Dr. Ziomek recommends that parents schedule their child's first dental appointment as soon as their first teeth start appearing, usually around 12 months of age. These first appointments are beneficial for the child to help them get used to a dental office setting and to ensure that their teeth are in healthy condition, but also for the parents who will receive tips and advice about proper brushing and flossing techniques as their child grows.

One of the biggest misconceptions about childhood oral decay is that it will have minimal long-term effect due to the primary teeth falling out once the child reaches a certain age. Dr. Ziomek emphasizes, however, that it's not just tooth health, but also gum health that plays a vital role in the health of a child's mouth as they age and lose their primary teeth. Neglecting tooth and gum health by lack of brushing and flossing at home, as well as avoiding professional dental treatment, can be detrimental to a child's smile even after their permanent teeth have grown in.

According to Dr. Ziomek, the most important thing parents can do with their children for oral health is to ensure that kids are brushing their teeth properly at home. While seeking regular dental checkups is important, the majority of cavity and gum disease prevention begins at home on a day-to-day basis. Many parents may assume that their children are brushing properly each day but in reality, their brushing and flossing habits are severely lacking. Dr. Ziomek recommends that parents take an active role in this daily habit and they actually assist their children in brushing their teeth until they reach a slightly older age when they can be confident that children are able to do it properly on their own.

Dr. Ziomek and her staff regularly treat children at their North Bethesda office and are experienced in helping kids have a comfortable, confidents, and fun visit to the dentist. In addition to pediatric dental care, they offer dental services for patients of all ages, including teens, adults, and seniors as well.

All Smiles Dentistry in Maryland participates in free clinic event that transforms Xfinity Center in College Park into a makeshift dental clinic

Rockville, MD -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/22/2014 -- All Smiles Dentistry in Rockville, Maryland recently put their expertise to charitable use by participating in Catholic Charities' transformation of the Xfinity Centre in College Park into a dental clinic providing the underserved members of the community in need of dental treatments with free services unavailable elsewhere. Normally the University of Maryland's basketball arena would host campus events or Terrapins games, but from September 5-7, it was decked out with a hundred dental chairs awaiting a crowd of thousands eager for the application of basic procedures like root canals, cavity fillings, tooth extractions and basic cleanings.

Many began lining up Thursday night, after experiencing being turned away from earlier free clinics due to late arrival. In a combined effort between the University of Maryland, Catholic Charities and local dental service providers like Dr. Mary Ziomek and her team at All Smiles Dentistry, the temporary free dental clinic is just one of several that operate in pop-up locations throughout the year. Area practitioners wore clinical gowns and came armed with the tools of the trade as the local population entered the arena for important procedures and check-ups. Many folks who are laid-off, impoverished or unable to gain benefits due to the guidelines of the Affordable Care Act depend on these clinics for crucial dental hygiene and emergency procedures.

In 2007, 12-year-old Maryland resident Deamonte Driver died when an easily treatable dental infection went unchecked because dental care was economically unavailable for him. Though the Affordable Care Act provides dental coverage options for many children and pregnant women, there are adults who cannot get regular access to dental care due to lack of insurance or inability to pay co-payment plans. As a result of this, nearly 20% of Maryland residents have not visited a dentist in the past five years, according to a 2012 state health department survey. This year's latest clinic was sponsored by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Maryland State Dental Association, and a group of corporate contributors.

All Smiles Dentistry provides patients the opportunity to choose Invisalign braces for a more advanced, comfortable, cost-effective and comfortable experience

Rockville, MD -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/19/2014 -- All Smiles Dentistry in North Bethesda, Maryland is proud to feature the latest advancements in Invisalign® orthodontics for their patients. The Invisalign system consists of a series of clear plastic aligners molded to perfectly fit the teeth that are replaced over time as teeth are adjusted. These clear, comfortable aligners allow the wearer to efficiently correct their smile without unsightly, painful and labor-intensive traditional metal braces. North Bethesda orthodontics dentist Dr. Mary Ziomek is an Invisalign specialist, providing the easy, removable clear braces system to her patients as an alternative to the outdated metal apparatus.

All Smiles Dentistry begins by providing an initial evaluation for patients who are interested in choosing Invisalign braces. This consultation helps determine whether the system is the right choice for each patient. Once Dr. Ziomek has determined a patient's candidacy, their first series of custom-fit aligners is prepared and applied. The patient receives a series of sequential appliances, each to replace the previous one in a multi-stage pursuit of perfect smile achievement. This gradual approach gently straightens and corrects teeth without the mess or pain of tightening twisting, wire cutting or dental rubber bands. Invisalign also allows more convenience and flexibility for daily life than ever before, with aligners that can be easily removed for meals, tooth brushing and special events or photos.

The Invisalign technology and procedure is straightforward and convenient, and All Smiles Dentistry takes care of each step along the way. First, Dr. Ziomek takes an impression of the patient's teeth, which will form the basis for the aligners. Computer imaging and fabrication is a big part of the advanced technology that makes Invisalign such an easy choice. Once the impressions are done, plaster models are made of the teeth so that aligners fit perfectly every time. Following the imaging and model creation, a ClinCheck® diagnostic sequence is created that shows the movement of the teeth from their first to their final, completely adjusted positioning. Dr. Ziomek can monitor the ClinCheck sequence online from anywhere, making any adjustments needed at any time without having to realign or restructure the entire treatment. Laser scanning is used to create each new set of aligners, ensuring flawless adhesion to the adjustment plan. Following the sequential update of each aligner in the series, an expertly corrected smile emerges.
