Whittier, CA dentist Dr. Ramsey Ezaki helps patients protect their smiles during sports with custom protective mouth guards

Whittier, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/30/2016 -- Since the mid-1990s, the American Dental Association has recommended orofacial protectors with proper fit, including mouth guards for all sports activities, regardless of age. According to the International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, up to 39 percent of all child dental injuries that occur each year are sports-related. Whittier dentist Dr. Ramsey Ezaki is helping local patients prevent these types of dental injuries during sports by offering custom-fitted protective mouth guards. Mouth guards can be worn by athletes of all ages to prevent damage that can occur during sports such as teeth becoming loose or knocked out, or lacerations to the cheeks, tongue, and lips.

While mouth guards are recommended for contact sports like football, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, baseball, and soccer, both adults and children should also consider protective mouth guards for other sports that can result in dental injuries due to force, such as skiing, surfing, skateboarding, gymnastics, mountain biking, and more. Mouth guards are made from materials designed to absorb energy from impact on the jaw and skull, preventing fracturing of the teeth and jaw as well as jaw dislocation. In addition, mouth guards have even shown to help prevent concussions from minor injuries such as those listed above.

Although generic mouth guards are available at most sporting stores, these often don't provide athletes with the level of protection they need to prevent the most extreme forms of dental injuries during sports. Additionally, these generic mouth guards are usually uncomfortable and ill-fitting due to the absence of individual sizing. Dr. Ezaki offers custom mouth guards that are designed specifically for the patient's mouth. He uses a special kind of thin plastic that is hardened to protect the patient's teeth. While these offer maximum protection, these mouth guards are still thin to allow for easy breathing and communication.

In addition to custom protective mouth guards for sports and physical activity, Dr. Ezaki also offers custom night guards for patients who struggle with clenching or grinding their teeth at night. This condition, called bruxism, can not only damage and wear down the teeth, but can lead to the patient experiencing chronic headaches, jaw pain, and neck tension. Furthermore, Dr. Ezaki offers geriatric care as well as an array of general care options such as general cleanings and exams, dentures, crowns, bridges, and teeth whitening.

Dr. Ramsey Ezaki of Ezaki Dentistry offers latest solutions for patients struggling with pain from TMD

Whittier, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/11/2016 -- Dr. Ramsey Ezaki in Whittier, CA is helping his patients at Ezaki Dentistry find simple, non-invasive solutions for minimizing the pain and discomfort they are struggling with as a result of temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as TMD. This condition is surprisingly common, with some reports showing that TMD affects more than 10 million Americans and is more common in women than men.

The temporomandibular joint controls most of the jaw's function and movements that are used for speaking and chewing. TMD occurs when patients start experiencing pain in this joint, which can be caused by factors like stress, teeth grinding, or the continual clenching of the jaw muscles. Some of the symptoms patients with TMD may experience include trouble chewing, headaches or ear pain, teeth grinding, pain when opening or closing the mouth, the jaw becoming stuck open or shut, or clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth.

Patients who are experiencing any of these symptoms should seek the advice of a medical professional to avoid long-term adverse health risks that can come as a result of TMD. Prolonged teeth grinding, also called bruxism, can cause severe damage to the teeth as it wears away the enamel and exposes the teeth's dentin which is much more susceptible to decay.

As an experienced dental professional, Dr. Ezaki can help patients properly diagnose TMD and find a non-invasive solution to minimize symptoms and correct the root cause. In many instances, this involves creating a custom night guard for the patient that is designed in a special way to prevent the jaw muscles from engaging throughout the night. Dr. Ezaki may also suggest other behavioral treatments that can alter the use of jaw muscles in a way that provides relief for the patient.

In addition to providing solutions for TMD, Dr. Ezaki provides a full range of general and cosmetic dental services at his Whittier, CA office. These include services such as cleanings and fillings, bridges, crowns, dentures, inlays and onlays, periodontal treatments, and more.

About Dr. Ezaki
With more than 35 years of experience, Dr. Ezaki has become known as one of the most qualified dental professionals in the Whittier, CA area. He has been named a Fellow in both the Academy of General Dentistry as well as the Academy of International Studies.

Dr. Ramsey Ezaki of Ezaki Dentistry offers revolutionary dental services for the entire family

Whittier, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/24/2015 -- Dr. Ramsey Ezaki is offering the latest technology at Ezaki Dentistry to cater to the needs of Whittier, CA patients of all ages, including those with special needs. Using a number of advanced devices and technology, Dr. Ezaki is able to provide the whole family with comfortable, pain free dental care and ultimately help them achieve their best smiles.

Some of the technology Dr. Ezaki employs at his Whittier, CA dental office includes WaterLase dentistry, Panorex imaging, digital X-rays and intraoral cameras. Each of these services allows Dr. Ezaki to provide better, more efficient care for his family dental patients.

WaterLase is a patented technology that combines high powered laser energy and water spray to essentially replace the need for a dental hand piece, often known by patients as the dental drill. Unlike a traditional hand piece, WaterLase does not create heat from friction of the drill bit, so patients do not experience pain or discomfort while Dr. Ezaki is removing the decayed portions of teeth. This also eliminates the need for anesthetic injections that many patients—both young and old—are often hesitant about.

With Panorex 360-imaging and digital X-rays, Dr. Ramsey is able to better detect signs of oral decay or dental ailments in their earlier stages, which allows him to treat the issues with less invasive procedures. The use of wand-like intraoral cameras not only helps Dr. Ramsey and his staff have a better view of the patient's mouth prior, during, and after a procedure, but it also gives patients the chance to see their own mouth on the screen in real-time so they can feel confident about the procedures that are being completed. With in-office oral cancer screenings, Dr. Ezaki is able to administer what can often be a life-saving, painless exam using ultraviolet light to detect any instances of oral cancer.

For patients who have special needs or who are not mobile enough to visit the Ezaki Dentistry office, Dr. Ezaki and his staff provide mobile dental services with portable dental equipment, reclining wheel chairs, dental instruments, and all other necessary ancillary equipment. This allows patients to get much needed care in an environment that is best for them.

About Dr. Ezaki
Dr. Ramsey Ezaki is a graduate of USC Dental School and longtime resident of Whittier, CA. He has been a member of the dental profession for nearly 40 years and throughout his time in practice, has become known for his contributions to and involvement with the local community.

Dr. Ramsey Ezaki helps all patients get access to dental care with mobile dental services

Whittier, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/09/2015 -- Dr. Ramsey Ezaki, D.D.S. of Ezaki Dentistry in Whittier, CA is helping a larger number of patients in the Whittier area get access to quality, comprehensive dental care through his mobile dental services. With Ezaki Mobile Dentistry, special needs or geriatric patients who have trouble getting to a traditional dental office can now be treated properly at their facility with all the necessary equipment.

Dr. Ezaki is a strong believer of helping improve the quality of life of his patients through dental care. But seeing as dental care is a subspecialty of medicine in general, it's important to treat the patient as a whole, understanding the medical, pharmacological, psychological, social, familial, and financial concerns of that patient. Ezaki Mobile Dentistry allows Dr. Ezaki and his team to work closely with other healthcare professionals and auxiliary care providers at their facilities to give the patient the best care possible.

"We partner with the patient, their family, and their physicians to achieve the quality of lifestyle they desire and deserve," said Dr. Ezaki.

Ezaki Mobile Dentistry was created as Dr. Ezaki noticed that a major limitation of access to dental care for special needs and geriatric patients was simply the transporting of the patient to the dental office. Ezaki Mobile Dentistry comes directly to the patient's facility, such as an assisted living residence, to provide routine dental services with portable dental equipment, reclining wheel chairs, dental instruments, and all other necessary ancillary equipment. This allows all patients to get the access to quality, caring dental care they want and deserve. Not only does this improve the oral health of patients, but it also helps improve their overall health condition as there is a strong link between oral and systematic health.

At Ezaki Dentistry, Dr. Ezaki and his team provide general dentistry with an emphasis of care for children and seniors. Their mission is to provide a full range of quality dental care with a commitment to excellence and patient education through communication in a caring environment. They offer a wide variety of services such as cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, bonding, and other specialty services like implants, teeth whitening, Lumineers, veneers, Invisalign, and treatments for periodontal health.
