4 | August 8, 2019 | 22nd century media education Guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com Tech-forward Artistic Dentistry keeps growing This isn’t your grandfather’s — or even your father’s — dentist’s office. At Artistic Dentistry, 14811 S. Founder’s Crossing in Homer Glen, dental work continues to evolve in stride with the technology age, providing patients with more efficient and comfortable service. And now, the newly renovated practice is expanding its services even further with the addition of Botox to treat dental issues. Botox relaxes the muscles and has been proven to ease or halt grinding and clenching of teeth, which can lead to everything from jaw fatigue and soreness to fractured teeth. The treatment also can help those who suffer from sleep apnea, for which grinding of the teeth is a common side ailment. With Botox now onsite, Artistic Dentistry can also expand its cosmetic offerings, which already include teeth whitening (Zoom Whitespeed) and veneers. Dental and facial imperfections can be a strain to a person’s self-esteem, and Artistic Dentistry is proud to work to end that feeling, according to the practice’s manager Jeanette Akroush, who added she wants patients to, “Look the age you feel.” “We can see the joy we are giving [our patients],” she said. “People [are] so happy, and hugging you. We are giving people back that confidence that they need to get through the day.” Since opening, the practice has focused on researching, installing and offering the latest and greatest options for dental treatment. Aside from the newest addition of Botox, Artistic Dentistry uses state-of-theart technology, such as: • The Cone Beam CT Scan, which minimizes radiation exposure by 200 times while producing high-quality, 360-degree images; • Intraoral digital cameras that give high-resolution photos that help both doctor and patient; • Digital x-rays that emit less radiation than conventional x-rays and are available in seconds; • Cinemizer video glasses that allow patients to watch movies or television while they are reclined in a dental chair; • Juvederm injectable dermal fillers, a nonsurgical option for restoring lost volume and softening wrinkles and folds. Juvederm can plump thin lips, build cheeks to help lift jowls, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, remove wrinkles and improve the appearance of recessed scars. Also, unlike many facilities, Dr. Joel Akroush and company can perform a full suite of dental procedures, from cleanings and restorations to root-canal therapy and implants. Dr. Akroush graduated from Loyola University School of Dentistry and has since achieved multiple post-graduate certificates. He has received extra training at The Dawson Academy and is a member of the Illinois State Dental Society, American Academy of Impact Dentistry, American Dental Association, American Academy for Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.

22ndCenturyMedia.com education Guide 22nd century media | August 8, 2019 | 5 TheraCORE helps benefit fitness, overall health and performance Ever look at a child sitting with their hips on their heels playing with a toy and say, “Wow, I wish I can do that.” Do you feel as if the floor is moving away from you, your ability to perform general tasks or moving yourself up and down seems daunting? Well, one reason could be that a fundamental pattern for life and development we refer to as a squat has slipped from our vocabulary. The squat: you can love or hate it, but it is one of the most misunderstood movements in our modern world, as well as in the fitness industry today. With the overwhelming number of chronic orthopedic issues and the rise of obesity, we have to get back to the fundamentals of what our elaborate and resilient bodies were meant to do. Knowing the origin of something is vital to fully understanding how it works and why we need it. If one has lived in America for any number of years, having the luxury of modern chairs, cars and plumbing has allowed for a suboptimal relationship of full range of motion of one’s hips, knees and ankles. In short, we have lost the global definition or the meaning and purpose of the squat. To clarify, the squat is not an exercise. It is a position that a human expresses to live and function through their life. We can take that position and express it more fully with speed, power and strength with a variety of applications, but it should always go back to the root fundamentals, as the maintenance of mobility is vital. We can start with a brief definition: “pelvis between heels.” This expression is seen in a baby as they develop, a person in a developing country waiting for a bus or the strongest Olympic lifter with a barbell overhead. All three expressions are the same, so how do we in America get it wrong? So, where do we start? Well, you could walk to work, do not use modern lavatories or sit on the floor with legs crossed, but that might seem extreme, so lets start with a little positional awareness. Try this: put something on the floor in front of yourself, feet wider than the shoulders, thinking athletic position. Lower yourself down with arms in between your knees and pick up the object. Congratulations, you have performed the task, you picked up an object with your legs, not your back. If you noticed, the instructions did not say squat down and pick it up. A basic test to see how you expresses the back of the body and has much carry over is a simple toe touch. Lock your legs and flex forward. Can you touch your toes, can you palm the floor, can you get your chest to thighs? Your ability to have full range of motion through the backside of the body is essential. One drill one can start with is a lying leg raise with knee pull. Lie on your back and extend one leg up. If you cannot get the leg to 90, bend your opposite leg. Put a shoe or block on the foot, keep the toes pulled toward your knee and pull the knee toward your chest, press the leg back up and repeat. Remember the squat is the test, so if you cannot perform it properly, then you have to break it down to tasks or drills that will help you build up the capacity and then the competency of moving in and out with control. This is what we do at the TheraCORE Fitness Center. Our coaches break down movements and exercises as skills to benefit not only fitness, but overall health and performance. The focus is on tasks, which gives a numerous variety of movements with advancing movement and complexity to build your skill as you train.
