Have a happy, safe, fun, and most importantly, CAVITY-FREE Halloween everyone! 👻🦷
Limit or simply skip the sticky, sour and hard candies, but chocolate? Go for it. Just be sure to brush and floss after ~20-30 min of enjoying them to allow your saliva to neutralize and remineralize 🎃

You are complete right now. You are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.

Why do I encourage my team, friends and loved ones to feel the fear, and do it anyway?
Because it builds our resiliency muscle.
Subsequently, we can create a fulfilling life when we accept that loss, change, mistakes and challenges are a part of it.
We can decide, “I can handle it!” Which leads to loving and trusting ourselves more when faced with tough challenges in the future.
Feel the fear, everyone. You’ll be thankful for it later.

Fall is when the Earth sheds itself of the old and leaves only the essentials—bare bones and branches.
Mother Nature’s detox.
So why not our own body’s? Our own mind’s? Sometimes we need to detox our lives from old ways and habits, and rejuvenate the routine.
Isn’t it amazing what we can learn simply by honoring Earth’s natural cycles around us?
I love Fall...🍁🍂

QUESTION: Who can spot the wear marks on these teeth?!
Swipe 👉🏼 to see if you found them all.
These cupped-out areas on the teeth are called “wear facets”. They are caused by “bruxism”, or chronic clenching and grinding. Usually this damaging habit is exasperated by stress and occurs at nighttime when you have no idea you’re doing it!
Continued bruxism can cause TMJ pain, cavities, teeth sensitivity and tooth breakage 😰
Luckily, there’s a solution to prevent you from continuous wear—it’s called a Night-gaurd!
NO, I do not mean the OTC ones (they tend to make your bruxism even worse, because they are not professionally customized to your teeth and mouth and made from non-medical grade materials!)

What Is Hydroxyapatite? 🦷
Hydroxyapatite is a biocompatible material naturally occurring in our bones, teeth, and saliva. It is used by our saliva to REMINERALIZE our teeth!
What does this mean for us?
It means that there is a Fluoride ALTERNATIVE that actually works! Hydroxyapatite has been scientifically proven to remineralize teeth just as effectively (if not BETTER) than Fluoride!
Best of all? It is completely NON-TOXIC.
Who can say no to that 😉

When I was a little girl, my father would advise—
“The threads and fabric of our destiny, our fate, is already written and assigned, based on factors such as our parental upbringing, childhood environment growing up, the cultural landscape we’re raised in, our unique genetic combination, our socioeconomic status, etc etc.
BUT, we can slightly tug and pull these threads towards a particular direction through extreme hard work, determination, and will, and perhaps slightly change the direction of our destiny towards something better”
What do you think? Is destiny assigned or written?👇🏼

This year…my goodness! 🫠
It has challenged me in every possible way. Businesses are still being haunted by COVID’s ghost.
But you know what? People can be so inspiring sometimes! I few months ago, after coming home from work completely EXHAUSTED and mentally BURNT-OUT, I read a post from a chiropractic business owner that said —
“You can knock me down 7 times and I'll get up 8. I'll show up Every. Damn. Day. and do what I can to move my businesses forward. It might be an hour of work or it might be ten. But there is no way Im letting a little thing like two months of chaos throw me off my path. My vision is so much bigger than that.”
WOW 🤩 gave me goosebumps! What a powerful individual. She has since inspired me to do the same!
This is all temporary. My vision is NOT. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ANYONE ELSE FEEL ME?

“I want a more bright-eyed look, and less tension headaches!”
The key to a great brow-lift is to administer just enough BOTOX in just the right locations to achieve a naturally lifted look without compromising expression 👌🏽
🚨 HEADS UP! If you’re asking and paying for , make sure you’re getting BOTOX (and not some other less-than alternative). Ask to see the bottle before getting anything administered 😉

My lead hygienist and I ALWAYS get asked what is our favorite electric toothbrush?
This is a no-brainer for us—the electric toothbrush and water-flosser hands down are the best pair out on the market (believe me, I’ve tried them ALL, for you 😉).
The toothbrush head is small to reach tight back molar spaces, it’s soft bristles and automated circular motion and vibration are easy on the gums and enamel, and it even lets you know when you are brushing too aggressively!
We LOVE it! And we know you will too 🤗

☀️ QUESTION: Are you loading up on that (very cold) Vit D3 this week? YES or NO, Let me know👇🏼
☀️Portland is so dang BEAUTIFUL when the sun comes out. Despite the freezing cold mornings, the rays sure do bring many smiles to people’s faces (mine included!)
☀️I cannot emphasize this enough—if you are not REGULARLY out in the sun, you NEED to be supplementing with Vit D3!
☀️It is even more effective than Vit C in regards to improving your immune function!
2023 motto?
BACK TO THE BASICS.
What is your purpose? What is your mission? Why do you do what you do? What belongs and what doesn’t? Stand up strong against antagonizing winds—you know who you are and why you are doing it. Now BE it.
Happy New Year, friends. May you find your deepest self this year ✨

My patients and the people who know me best know how crazy passionate I am about my career and holistic dentistry (yes, I’m a total nerd 🤓, okay?). STILL, I often times find myself completely burnt out and overwhelmed—we are all human after all and I am no exception.
The unfortunate consequence however is that I lose sight of the greater picture at times. The sight of GRATITUDE.
But growing up my father always taught me the importance of stepping back and looking at your life from outside your everyday box. Having gratitude for the opportunities given, for the experiences gained, for the impact you are allowed to make, and for the support you are being offered...is a MUST.
Don’t lose sight of the positives in your life! Having gratitude for the things (even the smallest of things!) you have can not only enhance your outlook on life in general, but it can actually SHAPE your future.
Who or what do you have gratitude for today? ☺️

Last week was an incredibly frustrating and disappointing week as a business owner.
COVID has challenged me in every possible way, and some days you’re just intensely saddened by the state and ethics of humanity.
My core team and I came together and gave each other the warmth, support and love we so badly needed…
The next day I woke up to an email announcing Brio Dental as the 2022 Best of Portland Awards in the category of Dentist.
Even though my heart is tired, it is indeed still full. Good karma will always find you, and get passed along to everyone around you who have contributed to it—my core team. As I am forever grateful for those who’ve stuck with me throughout the tumultuous waves of COVID AND as a startup business.
And as it goes…“I plan to eat only with the people who starved with me”
Cheers to us 🧡

One of the greatest reasons why I LOVE what I do is because it’s never routine and ignites all my creativity to solve my patients’ oral conditions!
This particular case challenged me in all the right ways due to the location of the cavity!
Lucky for her, I love challenges 😉 and was able to place the tallest filling I’ve ever placed (or seen!) in order to access the cavity properly! Patient left happy and fulfilled 👌🏽
What a fascinating day 🤗
My Story
Hi! My name is Karaneh [karen-ay] and I’m the founder of Brio Dental.
I believe it is our duty to care for people, not just their teeth.
To make a difference in patients lives requires that care gives see them fully — as distinct individuals, leading uncommon lives, with unique stories to share.
The idea that as a dentist, I can care for the whole human being is a radical one and I’m excited to embrace it — from self care to oral care and beyond.
