Team Appreciation & Teddy Bears of Love

At CDSA, we believe in celebrating the amazing people behind the smiles—and giving back to the community that supports us.

This spring, Dr. Camacho treated our team to a wonderful appreciation lunch followed by a meaningful experience: participating in the 11th Annual “Spring For A Teddy Bear Of Love” project — a beautiful initiative started by Dr. Beitchman, founder of Beitchman Orthodontics.

Together, we visited Build-A-Bear Workshop and created “Teddy Bears of Love,” which will be delivered to University Hospital in April. These personalized bears are meant to bring comfort and smiles to children going through challenging times. It was a day full of purpose, joy, and gratitude — and a reminder of the difference compassion can make.

We’re honored to care for our patients while also being part of something greater in our community. Thank you for trusting Dr. Camacho and the team at CDSA with your smiles.

What Is Plaque and Why Should You Care?

Have you ever felt a fuzzy film on your teeth by the end of the day? That’s plaque—a sticky layer of bacteria that forms on your teeth throughout the day. If it’s not removed with daily brushing and flossing, it can lead to bad breath, yellowing teeth, and gum irritation.

Most people don’t think much about plaque, but here’s why it matters:

How Plaque Forms

Plaque starts developing within hours after eating, especially from sugary or starchy foods like bread, pasta, and soda. If left alone, it hardens into tartar, a rough substance that can’t be brushed away at home.

Why It’s a Problem

When plaque and tartar build up, they can cause:

✔ Tooth Discoloration – Teeth can appear dull and yellow
✔ Gum Irritation – Red, swollen gums that bleed when brushing
✔ Bad Breath – Bacteria in plaque create unpleasant odors

Over time, this buildup can lead to more serious gum infections—and even tooth loss if untreated.

How We Can Help

Even with good brushing, some plaque sticks around. That’s where we come in! Our team at CDSA provides gentle, professional cleanings to:

✅ Remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas
✅ Polish your teeth so they feel cleaner and look brighter
✅ Help prevent early signs of gum disease from progressing

Tips to Keep Plaque Away at Home

✔ Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
✔ Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
✔ Use an antibacterial mouthwash
✔ Visit us for regular cleanings to stay on track

Straighten Your Smile Without Braces! Discover Clear Aligner Therapy

Thinking about straighter teeth but don’t want metal braces? Clear Aligner Therapy (like Invisalign) offers a comfortable, nearly invisible solution to align your teeth while maintaining your confidence!

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

✔ Virtually Invisible – No metal brackets or wires
✔ Comfortable Fit – Moves teeth gently with less discomfort
✔ No Food Restrictions – Eat what you love without worry
✔ Easy Maintenance – Remove to brush and floss normally
✔ Fewer Dental Visits – More convenience, fewer appointments

How It Works

Clear aligners use a customized series of trays that gradually move your teeth into place. Aligners are changed every 2 weeks, and most treatments last 12-14 months.

💡 Want faster results? OrthoPulse technology can reduce treatment time by up to 50%—just 10 minutes a day!

Is It Worth It? Absolutely!

Orthodontics isn’t just about appearance. Misaligned teeth can lead to:
🔹 Premature wear of teeth, gums, and bone
🔹 Increased risk of gum disease
🔹 Bite issues and jaw discomfort

Even if you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, it’s never too late! Our oldest patient was in their 70s, proving it’s always a great time to invest in your smile.

Why Choose Dr. Camacho?

Dr. Camacho was one of the first general dentists in the U.S. certified in Invisalign and has treated over 1,000 cases. With 38+ years of experience, he personally designs every case—ensuring the best possible outcome, not just relying on automated designs.

Spring is the Best Time for a Healthy Mouth Cleaning

Spring is a time for fresh starts, making it the perfect season to prioritize your oral health. A Healthy Mouth Cleaning at CDSA removes plaque and tartar buildup, helping to prevent gum disease and cavities before they start.

Why Schedule Now?

Prevent Future Dental Issues – Regular cleanings help reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Keep Your Smile Bright – Professional cleanings remove buildup that brushing alone can’t.
Medications & Oral Health – Many common medications, including allergy medications, blood pressure medications, decongestants, and bronchodilators, can cause dry mouth, which increases the risk of decay and gum disease.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Thorough Cleaning – Removal of plaque and tartar for a healthier smile.
Oral Health Check – We assess your gums and overall oral health. If needed, we may recommend a comprehensive exam or X-rays based on your specific dental needs.
Personalized Oral Health Plan – Recommendations tailored to you.

If it’s been more than six months since your last Healthy Mouth Cleaning, now is the time to schedule.

KöR Whitening

Get ready for Valentine’s Day with a radiant smile! At CDSA, our KöR Whitening treatment delivers stunning, long-lasting results.

For a limited time, enjoy our exclusive bundle. Offer valid until January 31st. Treat yourself or a loved one today!

(Applies to new cases only. Cannot be applied to previous prepaid or started cases.)

How KöR Whitening Works

Unlike other whitening systems, KöR’s sealed trays maintain the gel’s full potency throughout treatment, ensuring it penetrates deeply to remove stubborn stains and discoloration. By working with your body’s natural temperature, the system delivers highly effective and long-lasting results.

How KöR Whitening Compares to Zoom Whitening

Exceptional Results: KöR removes deep, stubborn stains, including medication-related discoloration, while Zoom primarily addresses surface stains.
Comfortable Experience: KöR minimizes sensitivity with advanced desensitization, unlike Zoom, which may cause discomfort for some patients.
Long-Lasting Brightness: KöR offers longer-lasting results, requiring fewer touch-ups compared to Zoom Whitening.
Superior Technology: KöR uses patented gel and sealed trays for consistent, effective results, whereas Zoom relies on light-activated gels that may lose potency during treatment.
Cost-Effective: While KöR may have a higher upfront cost, its durability and effectiveness make it a better value over time.

Your Options at CDSA

Customized Whitening Kits: Tailored trays and professional-grade gel let you whiten at your convenience with gradual, lasting results.
Combination Approach: Use at-home kits as the foundation of your whitening journey, enhanced by in-office treatments for optimal results.
