🦷 What Does It Mean That Your Dentist Is Pankey Trained?

When choosing a dentist, you’re not just choosing someone to fix teeth—you’re choosing someone to help you make decisions about your health, comfort, and smile.

The Pankey Institute is one of the most respected centers for advanced dental education in the world. Dentists who train through Pankey dedicate hundreds of hours to learning not only the technical aspects of dentistry, but also how to provide care that is thoughtful, individualized, and focused on long-term health.

For our patients, that means:

✨ Taking time to listen to your concerns and goals
✨ Looking at the entire person—not just a single tooth
✨ Seeking the most conservative treatment that achieves the desired outcome
✨ Focusing on comfort, function, aesthetics, and longevity
✨ Building relationships based on trust and education

At our office, we believe dentistry should be about more than fixing problems—it should be about helping people live healthier, more confident lives.

We are proud to bring the principles of The Pankey Institute into every patient interaction and every treatment recommendation we make.

❤️ Science. Compassion. Excellence.

Did you know? 💜

Lilac is recognized as the official color of dentistry — symbolizing compassion, healing, dignity, and care. Dentists even have lilac incorporated on their graduation regalia!

The tradition dates back to the early history of dentistry and remains a subtle symbol of our profession today. From education and prevention to restoring confidence and health, dentistry is about so much more than teeth alone.

Just before Dr. Mooney started her footprint in Batavia, she insisted lilac be used as much as possible because of her practice philosophy aligning so intensely with what the symbol of dentistry stands for.

At Ashley Mooney, DDS, we love celebrating the art, science, and heart behind what we do every day. 💜

So is purple Dr. Mooney’s favorite color? While she has a deep appreciation for lilac and will proudly boast lilac colored items, she actually prefers coastal color palettes, which is why the calming blue is the hue of choice for our office 😊🦷🪥

✨ Invisalign isn’t just about a beautiful smile… it’s about feeling better, too. ✨

Our wonderful patient came to us struggling with more than just alignment—she was dealing with TMJ discomfort, muscle pain, clenching and grinding, tooth sensitivity, fractures, and a misaligned bite.

Instead of focusing on just one issue, we took a step back and looked at the full picture. 🦷💭
Because great dentistry isn’t just about teeth—it’s about the whole person.

Through comprehensive Invisalign treatment, we were able to:
✔️ Improve her bite
✔️ Reduce strain on her muscles and joints
✔️ Help protect her teeth from further damage
✔️ Set her up for long-term oral health

Now she’s not only smiling with confidence—she’s:
💤 Sleeping better
😌 Feeling more comfortable
🍽️ Chewing with ease

And yes… the smile upgrade is a pretty amazing bonus 😉✨

If you’ve been dealing with discomfort, wear, or bite issues—there may be a solution you haven’t considered yet.

Next Topic For National Children’s Dental Health Month:

🦷 Knocked-Out Tooth? Here’s What To Do!

A knocked-out tooth from a fall or sports injury can be scary — but acting quickly can make all the difference, especially if it’s a permanent tooth.

Baby tooth vs. permanent tooth:
✔️ If a baby tooth comes out early, do NOT try to put it back in. Usually, no treatment is needed and the adult tooth will come in naturally.
🚨 If it’s a permanent tooth, this is a dental emergency.

Time matters!
Permanent teeth have the best chance of being saved if placed back in the socket within 15 minutes (and possibly up to 1 hour if handled properly).

It is important to have your dentist’s phone number on speed dial! 📞

What To Do Immediately:

1️⃣ Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the chewing part) — NOT the root.
2️⃣ Gently rinse with milk or saline.
❌ Do NOT scrub it.
❌ Do NOT use tap water.
3️⃣ If possible, gently place the tooth back into the socket and have your child bite down on gauze or cloth to hold it in place.

If You Can’t Reinsert It:

Keep the tooth moist while heading to the dentist or emergency room. Place it in:
• Milk
• Saline/balanced salt solution (like Save-A-Tooth)
• Your child’s saliva

❌ Do NOT store it in tap water.

After taking these steps, go immediately to your child’s dentist or nearest emergency room and let them know you are on the way.
