Root Canal Therapy in Horsham and Philadelphia
February 17, 2016
Everyone’s tolerance for pain is different. Some people can barely stand the thought of pain while others have a very high tolerance.

Moreover, the cause of the pain may actually threaten the integrity of your tooth. Very often a toothache happens because infection sets in deep inside a tooth. In this case, Dr. Henkel may need to perform root canal therapy to remove the infection and preserve your tooth.

Your Horsham Dentist Recommends Bi-annual Dental Checkups
January 11, 2016
If you see your general practitioner, your eye doctor and your OBGYN once a year for a checkup, then why do you need to see your dentist twice a year? Actually, the answer is simple—dentistry is all about prevention. For the most part, medicine is a reactive profession. In other words, you come to your doctor when something is wrong so he or she can help you feel better. Your dentist, on the other hand, works to prevent something from going wrong to begin with, so you don’t have to contend with a dental problem. That’s why Dr. Henkel and his team of dental hygienists and dental assistants want to see you at least twice each year for a dental checkup.

Introducing Invisalign: Clear Braces Horsham Residents Will Love
August 4, 2015
Invisalign treatment is within your grasp, all you need to do is take hold of it. If you’re new to the teeth-straightening world, or have never had to deal with misalignment issues in the past, Invisalign is the latest and greatest in straightening technology. What used to take multiple years to accomplish can now be taken care of in less than half the time. In the past, metal braces have been the dominant procedure when it came to correcting a smile’s alignment issues. Many years and countless hours of research and testing later, Invisalign is the futuristic way to straighten teeth. The best part? It can all be done invisibly to where nobody notices you straightening your teeth. How cool is that? True, braces can offer the same type of treatment, but it’s more painful and you won’t see the final results for an average treatment duration of five years. That’s too long to wait for real results. You’ve got a life to live and that shouldn’t involve sporting metal braces on your teeth. You’re older and need treatment that works. When you visit Horsham Dental Elements in our Philadelphia, PA and Horsham, PA, you’ll see firsthand just how beneficial Invisalign treatment is for your smile. For the best straightening treatment featuring Invisalign, Philadelphia residents are urged to check it out for themselves!

Have A Bad-Breath Problem? Fix It!
July 16, 2015
Bad breath is a serious issue for some people. There are varying degrees of bad breath, especially in the “smell” category. No two cases of bad breath are the same, and some can be flat-out horrible. Bad breath didn’t invade your system on its own – it needed something to get it that way. The United States has a bad breath problem with one in four people suffering from the disease. Most of the problem can be pointed back to poor dental hygiene practices. Are you brushing as well as you think you are or could you use some help in other areas? Our Horsham, PA office wants you to know that bad breath shouldn’t be something you have to deal with forever. It can be fixed with some changes in your dental hygiene as well as what you’re eating.
