Dr. Roul & staff are wishing everyone a very Happy Easter! We hope you all remember to brush and floss after eating all those tasty treats the Easter bunny left behind! A friendly reminder that our office is OPEN with regular hours tomorrow, April 5, 2021.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

A special Happy Birthday greeting going out today to our awesome receptionist Jessica! Thanks for all you do for our patients and to make our office run smoothly each and everyday. We hope you have the best day!

Happy Dental Assistants Week!!! A special shout-out to our valued dental assistants (Michelle, Deanne & Whitney) here at Grand Bank Dental. They work hard everyday to keep our office running safely and efficiently, all while keeping our patients comfortable and well cared for. A big THANK YOU for making our office AWESOME. We would not be able to do it without you!

It’s November 30th and we are so excited that Flossy will be back at the office tomorrow. He has been in quarantine for 14 days and is ready to have some fun at the office again! Luckily, we have a non-contact thermometer to be able to check his temperature twice a day! As a reminder, our office IS open and has returned to regular care. Any appointments that were cancelled due to the recent COVID cases in our community will be rescheduled as soon as possible. All recall/...cleaning appointments cancelled previously due to COVID have been rescheduled, but as we have been very busy on the phones trying to book and rebook appointments, not everyone has been contacted yet with a rescheduled appointment time. If you have not received a call for your recall appointment, feel free to call our office at 832-0550 to check with our receptionists regarding your appointment. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during this unprecedented time. We can only hope we continue to do our best to stick together and keep our families and communities safe! See more

Update November 23, 2020 As Public Health has completed all contact tracing in relation to the current cases in our community, we have decided to reopen tomorrow on a limited basis, doing emergent care only at this time. We are monitoring the government updates and recommendations and will reassess the situation in 7 days. All appointments for non-emergent care will be rescheduled as soon as possible. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this time. ...For any questions or concerns please call 832-0550 or email [email protected]. Post from Sunday November 22: Due to the recent number of COVID-19 cases in our small community, our office has elected to reschedule dental appointments out of an abundance of caution until all contact tracing and testing has been completed by Public Health in our town and associated communities. There is absolutely no risk to our office at this time and we are strictly putting the safety of our staff, patients and communities first. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we will be rescheduling appointments as soon as possible. We thank you in advance for your understanding. We continue to encourage everyone to stay safe and we wish a speedy recovery for those affected. If you experience a dental emergency or have any questions or concerns, please call 832-0550 or email [email protected]

A note to our patients that our office will be closed tomorrow, November 19, due to flushing of the water lines in the town. We plan to reopen Friday at 8:30 am. We thank you for your understanding.

TIPS TO AVOID MASK MOUTH Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Floss between your teeth every day. Don’t forget to brush your tongue too.... Swish your mouth with mouthwash before putting on a mask. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol, smoking, marijuana, and vaping because they can cause dry mouth, inflammation, enamel damage, teeth staining, and even oral cancer. Avoid sugary foods and acidic drinks. Chew sugar-free gum to increase saliva flow. Regularly wash your reusable face mask or replace disposable masks. Eat a balanced and nutritious diet. See more

A friendly reminder that our office will be closed tomorrow, November 11, in honour of Remembrance Day. We will reopen Thursday, November 12 at 8:30 am.

Halloween is just around the corner and we all know that for children (and family members too ), Halloween means candy and lots of it! It’s important to remember to limit snacking and to brush your teeth after doing so! It’s also very important to floss as snacks like sticky candy can get in between the teeth and cause tooth decay! This is the perfect time of year for the family to enjoy their sugary treats together and to get into a good oral hygiene routine! Dr. Roul & staff would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Halloween! Happy Trick-or-treating!

Happy Thanksgiving from Dr. Roul & staff! We are thankful each and everyday for all of our wonderful patients! A reminder that our office is OPEN tomorrow, Monday, October 12.

For our tooth-tastic patients A friendly reminder that our clinic is OPEN! We still have to dress a little different, are still working at a reduced capacity, and have many changes within our clinic due to the new COVID-19 regulations, but we are working hard and are happy to be providing safe dental care to get you healthy and smiling confidently again - even if it is under a mask! Our staff have been working diligently to reschedule all appointments that were cancell...ed since our closure in March due to COVID-19 and we are working in sequence to ensure everyone is contacted and rescheduled based on their original appointment date. We thank you so much for your patience and cooperation during this time and look forward to seeing you soon. If you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 832-0550 or email [email protected] See more

Back to School Dr. Roul and staff would like to wish everyone headed back to school a safe, successful and wonderful school year! Here are some oral health tips to help start the new school year off right! ... 1. Schedule a dental check up! 2. Make brushing and flossing in the morning and before bed a fun thing to do! Perhaps using a new electric toothbrush and some colorful floss picks may help? 3. Prepare a healthy lunch! Salty snacks may seem healthy because they dont contain sugar, but simple starches can be just as bad. These snacks break down into a sticky goo, coating teeth and promoting decay. Avoid candies, chips, crackers and granola bars, while offering crunchy snacks like celery sticks, apples, baby carrots and cubes of cheddar cheese instead!

Even with all the new changes due to COVID-19, we are so happy to be back in the office and seeing patients again (Yes, we are still smiling as always underneath all that PPE! ). As a friendly reminder to our patients, since we have been back we have been dealing with emergent and urgent care, while working to reschedule appointments cancelled or patients placed on the waitlist during the clinic closure. With the new guidelines implemented by our dental board and associatio...n at this time, we are not able to see as many patients per day as we did before, and are therefore working at a significantly reduced capacity. Any patients with appointments that were cancelled during the clinic closure will be contacted as we make our way through the list. Any patients with upcoming hygiene appointments will also be contacted to reschedule at a later date, as we need to reschedule those already cancelled during the clinic closure first. We have certainly not forgotten about anyone and we value your patience and understanding as we work through this unprecedented time. Our office hours have also changed to accommodate the changes in scheduling protocols, and are for the time being, Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. If you have any questions regarding appointments or are experiencing a dental emergency, you can contact us by phone at (709) 832-0550, by email at [email protected] or on our Facebook page. Please see our previous COVID-19 update for the new clinic guidelines and protocols implemented to provide dental treatment during this time while keeping our staff, patients and community safe. The oral and overall health of our patients is and has always been our number one priority, and we look forward to seeing everyone as soon as possible! Dr. Roul & Staff (missing from photo, our hygienist, Boyd! He will be back with us soon )

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE Amid the closure of all dental offices in the province since March 17, 2020 due to COVID-19, we have been triaging and handlin...g dental emergencies only, which has been limited to uncontrollable pain, swelling, bleeding and trauma. Our team has been working hard to prepare our office based on the new guidelines and proper personal protective equipment required to be able to see our patients safely in office during this unprecedented time. We have quite an extensive list of patients requiring immediate care, however, we are working through our list and will be in touch with everyone as soon as possible to schedule appointments accordingly. As the government has mentioned, we are planning to reopen our offices for more procedures beginning on June 8th, and patients will again be contacted for an appointment based upon the guidelines provided by our governing bodies. With the many in-office restrictions in place, we must book our appointments accordingly and will be unable to accommodate as many patients as we did before throughout each work day, so we ask for your patience and understanding during this time and know that we will be in contact to book you an appointment as soon as possible. At our office, the health and safety of our staff and patients is and has always been our primary concern. We take pride in our infection control, which strictly follows the recommendations from our provincial regulatory body and the Canadian Dental Association. Our office has always practiced standard and universal precautions when treating our patients, meaning we assume any patient can have an infectious disease and treat everyone the same. However, given the novelty of COVID-19 and the precautions taken worldwide to avoid its spread, our governing bodies have provided us with appropriate guidelines to ensure safety to our staff, patients and community when providing dental treatment while we get through this COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the changes you may notice when you return to our office include: - When confirming your appointment, you will asked mandatory pre-screening questions for COVID-19 symptoms (see photo). These questions will be asked again upon arrival to the office for your appointment. - As our door will be locked at all times to limit traffic in our clinic, we ask that our patients remain in their vehicles upon arrival to the clinic, until we are ready to see you in which you will then be contacted to come into the office. This is to ensure social distancing in our waiting room. - At this time, we ask that you are not accompanied by anyone to your appointment, unless a child or a patient that requires physical assistance is booked. A parent/legal guardian/caregiver accompanying the patient will also have to be screened and contact information provided. - We also ask that you please wear a mask to your appointment, as we will have you leave it on until you see the dentist or hygienist. - Upon arrival, you will be given hand sanitizer and gloves to use, and your temperature will be taken and recorded. If you have a temperature above 38 degrees celsius, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment to a later date. You will be required to sign a consent form for dental treatment to be completed during the COVID-19 pandemic. - You may also notice that our clinic will look a little different, as plexi-glass has been put up on the front desk, waiting room chairs and magazines have been removed, and many items throughout our clinic have been packed away. Our staff members are looking a little different as well, as we have to ensure we are being cautious and vigilant in wearing all the required personal protective equipment to keep everyone safe and to prevent spreading of the virus. But rest assured, we are all smiling underneath our masks and we will be very happy to see all of our wonderful patients again! With the many changes in protocol at our office, we understand that you may have some questions or concerns, so please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. You can call (709) 832-0550/0551, email [email protected], or contact us on our Facebook page. We are taking all these steps very seriously to ensure the safety and health of our staff, patients and community as a whole. We take great pride in maintaining very high standards of infection control and safety in our clinic, and we are so very thankful for your understanding and continued support during this time. We will continue to do our part and we will get through this time together!

Dentinal hypersensitivity, more commonly described by patients as "sensitive teeth", can occur when gums pull away from your teeth at the gumline exposing the dentin layer of your tooth. Dentin is the softer, yellow-coloured tooth layer that lies beneath the hard enamel, or outer white surface of your tooth. Below the gumline, dentin is not protected by enamel and once that dentin layer becomes exposed, the microscopic pores called tubules that lead to the tooth nerve are le...Continue reading

Temporomandibular dysfunction, more commonly known as TMD, is a term used to describe a group of conditions causing pain and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint and/or surrounding muscles. TMJ problems can affect a persons ability to speak, eat, chew, swallow, make facial expressions, sleep, and even breathe. So what are the symptoms of TMJ disorders? - Pain, often described as a dull ache in the jaw joint and nearby areas, including the ear. - Pain in the neck and ...shoulders - Migraine and/or chronic headache - Jaw muscle stiffness - Limited movement or locking of the jaw - Clicking, popping or grating in the jaw joint when opening or closing the mouth, that may or may not be painful - A change in your bite or a bite that feels "off" - Ear pain, pressure and/or ringing in the ears - Diminished hearing - Dizziness and vision problems - Tooth sensitivity There are a multitude of factors that can lead to TMD. A very common cause is clenching and/or grinding your teeth, often while sleeping at night. This puts additional strain on the muscles of the jaw causing inflammation and subsequent pain and the symptoms described above. Clenching and grinding may be a functional habit, however, can be aggravated by stress. Other possible causes include injuries to the jaw area, various forms of arthritis, some dental treatments, your genes and/or hormones, an infection, and certain autoimmune diseases. How to treat TMJ disorder? Since most common jaw joint and muscle problems are temporary, lasting only weeks or months, simple care, such as hot or cold compresses and over-the-counter medications, is all that is usually needed to relieve the discomfort. However, if signs/symptoms persist, other non-invasive treatments include: - Use of prescription medications for pain and/or muscle relaxation - Gentle jaw stretching and relaxation exercises - Massage and/or chiropractic therapy - Wearing a custom fit biteplate (nightguard) as prescribed by your dentist **NOTE: It is NOT advised to use night guards bought in the store as these are not custom fit to your teeth/mouth and could lead to further problems If signs/symptoms continue to persist, treatment involves: - Adjustment of the bite by grinding the teeth or other extensive dental work - Use of a mandibular repositioning splint which changes the bite and repositions the jaw - Orthodontic treatment - Botox injections - Various surgical procedures depending on the cause Keep in mind that occasional discomfort in the jaw joint or chewing muscles is common and is not a cause for concern. Many people with TMJ problems get better without treatment. Often the problem goes away on its own in several weeks to months. However, if the problem persists or gets worse over time, you should consult your dentist for further investigation and treatment as needed.

Oral Care Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - Keep teeth and gums clean and healthy by brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing daily - Be sure to use a soft toothbrush and floss gently to prevent injury to delicate gum tissues - Rinse with an alcohol-free fluoride containing mouthwash to increase plaque control and for added fluoride protection - Rinse your mouth after a bout of morning sickness to keep acids from affecting your teeth and gums... - If you suffer from severe morning sickness, it may be beneficial to use a high fluoride content toothpaste such as Prevident to provide added protection, as the stomach acid can cause significant decay and loss of enamel - Follow a healthy diet including plenty of calcium, phosphorus, protein, and vitamins A, C and D - Dont skip regular check-ups at your dental office A common concern of pregnant patients is bleeding of their gums, which is often due to pregnancy gingivitis. This clinical concern occurs in 60-70% of pregnant patients and is caused by a rise in the hormone progesterone which can contribute to an increase in the flow of blood to gum tissues making them sensitive, swollen and more likely to bleed when you brush and floss. These hormonal changes can make it easier for certain gingivitis-causing bacteria to grow and can make gum tissues more tender. While pregnancy gingivitis can occur anytime between the second and eighth month, its usually most severe during the second trimester. Occasionally a red lump or overgrowth develops on the gums usually near the upper front teeth. These are called pregnancy tumors and they are not cancerous or contagious. They are sometimes caused by increased plaque accumulation in the area, causing the tissue to react. Therefore, its very important to have excellent oral hygiene before, during and after pregnancy. If you do notice a pregnancy tumor you should contact your dentist, but most of these lumps disappear after the baby is born. So how can you prevent pregnancy gingivitis? Controlling plaque is the most important thing you can do to prevent problems with pregnancy gingivitis. A strict home care routine of proper and meticulous plaque removal should start even before you are pregnant. Not all oral care products are the same, so be sure to choose a toothpaste and mouthwash designed to treat plaque and gingivitis. Also try a soft power brush to make plaque removal easier. Your overall health, as well as the health of your baby, can be affected by your oral health. Some research has even shown a connection between poor gum health and premature delivery. Thus, it is very important to keep your teeth and gums healthy before, during and after pregnancy. This involves having an excellent oral hygiene regime and making regular visits to your dentist.

Are you self conscious about the color of your teeth? When dental professionals ask patients what they would like to change most about their smile, the most common response is "I want whiter teeth". So why might your teeth be discolored and how can you get them whiter? First, it is important to note that there are two basic types of "stains" that affect the color of teeth. Determining the cause of discoloration will determine how to fix it. ...Continue reading

Third molars, more commonly known as WISDOM TEETH, are the last 4 teeth in the mouth to develop and erupt, typically between the age of 16 and 20 years old. Not everyone has 4 wisdom teeth; some have 1, or 2, or 3, or none! If you do have wisdom teeth and it is not anticipated that they will cause any problems in your mouth, they are left to fully develop, erupt and function as normal teeth. However, since they are the last teeth to "come in", there is often not enough ro...om left in your mouth to accommodate them. This can lead to wisdom teeth that are either partially or fully impacted, meaning the teeth are trapped beneath the gum tissue by other teeth, soft tissue and/or bone. If teeth are impacted and not removed, swelling, tenderness, infection, gum disease, and other complications can occur. As shown in the picture, some wisdom teeth erupt into the adjacent tooth causing severe decay that if not treated in time, can lead to loss of both teeth. Thus, it is highly recommended that people between age 16 and 19 have their wisdom teeth evaluated to see if they need to be removed. By getting them removed early, they are less developed and the patient is usually healthier, therefore, there is less risk of complications occurring from their removal. How are Wisdom Teeth Removed A tooth extraction is a relatively routine procedure. Your regular dentist may be able to remove your wisdom teeth using just local anesthetic, the same procedure to remove any other tooth in the mouth. However, if your wisdom teeth are severely impacted and it requires removal of soft tissue or bone, your dentist may recommend you "go to sleep" using IV sedation or general anesthesia, and you will be referred to an oral surgeon. After the teeth are removed, you will be asked to bite down softly on a piece of gauze for 30 to 45 minutes, to limit any bleeding that may occur. Some pain and swelling may occur but it will normally go away after a few days. If you have been sedated, you will also be required to have someone accompany you home as you may feel groggy for up to 24 hours after the appointment. More Tips for a Speedy Recovery Use ice packs on the cheek for swelling, putting the pack on for 20 minutes and leaving it off for 20 minutes Bite on clean gauze to stop the bleeding Eat soft foods and drink extra liquids Follow the instructions for taking any medications your dentist recommends Dont use drinking straws as the suction can dislodge the blood clot in the tooth socket Dont drink hot liquids Your dentist may tell you to use a prescription mouthrinse starting 24 hours after surgery for 2 weeks to help keep the areas clean Do not smoke for 48 hours Avoid strenuous physical activity and get lots of rest You should call your dentist if you experience prolonged or severe pain, swelling, bleeding or fever. It will take several weeks to months for the mouth to completely heal after the wisdom teeth have been removed.

During Oral Health Month, our focus should be to develop an excellent oral hygiene routine that we can carry out each and every day to help to maintain and/or improve the health of our teeth and gums. Most problems in the mouth are caused by PLAQUE, that sticky layer of bacteria, food particles and other "icky" stuff that forms on the surfaces of your teeth. Bacteria in plaque produce acids that cause cavities, and can also lead to periodontal (gum) disease, which is a poten...Continue reading
