We are in lockdown and Oral Health is more important than ever! 1. We know that coronavirus can live in the lungs throat and mouth, but did you know, with poor oral health, your symptoms can be much worse? Having a clean mouth can reduce the symptoms of inflammation throughout the rest of the body! Start preventing your risk of coronavirus today, as well as preventing and treating colds, flus, and post-nasal drip. - Cold And Flu Guard - is a NEW nose and throat spray that c...reates an organic barrier that deactivates 99.9% of viruses on contact, and is now available for purchase at both locations. 2. Almost a year later and dental offices are seeing the effects of less frequent appointments - more cavities, more gum disease, and clients needing more invasive procedures as a result. YOUR DENTAL HEALTH IS ESSENTIAL, and Preventive Dental Hygiene Care may be one of the safest places to ease your concerns about dental care at this time. Enclosed treatment area, extra time between appointments, reduced staff interaction, and adherence to enhanced protocols.

5 Tips to a Healthier Smile!

Great quote to live by!

The kids love Amy! She is so wonderful with them and puts them at ease while working on their teeth.

Some Tooth Truths!

Watch for cavities in your little ones teeth. It isn't just the obvious culprits that cause cavities, like pop and candy, but crackers can be bad too as they stick to the teeth. Hint: Get your child to rinse out their mouth after snack time.

It’s lways important to start with an exam to make sure everything is healthy!

We use essential oils for those who prefer a more natural treatment for teeth. We understand that some don't like the idea of flouride and we will work with you (the patient) to find the best course of treatment for you! Message us for more information about our use of essential oils!

We know you have heard this 1000 times but it seems like no one is really listening - just another friendly reminder because we CARE! Everyone loves treats - just don't leave the sugar on your teeth! If you can't brush them after a treat, rinse your mouth out with water!

A healthy mouth and teeth are a sign of overall wellness! Book your appointment today! (905)664-9443

Happy Canada Day! Sending LOVE to everyone today. A day for all Canadians to celebrate, reflect, and maybe more than most years, ponder what Canada we want to leave for future generations.

Unfortunately, when we can finally go back to having routine Preventive Dental Hygiene Care, we may hear that we have more problem areas in our mouth when we return. What can you do at home to make sure you are controlling cavities and gingivitis? GINGIVITIS - Hydrogen Peroxide has been used before and we are recommending it's use once again. Mixed half water, half hydrogen peroxide right before swishing for minimum 30 seconds. Bubbles will form near the gums and on the tong...ue where bacteria and viruses hide. This is now the recommended pre-rinse before dental treatment as it the only known ingredient to kill coronavirus. CAVITIES - start using xylitol! This is a natural sugar found in many food and health products. Cavity bacteria love this sugar but it does a number on their tummies! Mints, candy, gum, and toothpastes are still on sale and available for PORCH PICK-UP in SMITHVILLE! Check out some of the options at AmyDionRDH.com and start reducing cavity bacteria today! (8-12 grams per day for adults is recommended to have an effect). Can't wait to see you all again! See more

This is a great clip to show how quickly germs can pass to others! Be aware of others 'touches' on surfaces, keep your distance, and wash your hands. Be safe everyone!

Well, it may not have hit you yet but the fact is, we might have to wait a while until our next dental visits. What can you do to reduce the amount of calculus and plaque building on your teeth and reduce your risk of cavities? Follow my page for some great tips and tricks! The first question I'm often asked is, should I purchase an electric toothbrush? Will it really work better? Well, if you seem to get a lot of calculus or thick sticky plaque, or if you tend to have spot...s that bleed, you could see a major improvement! If you have a great technique with a regular brush and your dental visits go pretty easily you may not notice a huge difference. If you tend to brush too hard and have exposed roots you will have to be careful with an electric brush and let it do the work! Whether an electric or regular brush, try holding it with your finger tips instead of in your fist. Rest your brush on the teeth instead of pressing against them. Slowly move your electric brush from tooth to tooth. For a manual brush, make small strokes back and forth only over a few teeth, working the bristles in between like a gentle massage. When you press your brush the bristles can't get between and you can start to expose or even brush into the root areas of teeth. These can be sensitive and may even need to be filled. A favorite analogy I use is that your teeth are like cleaning a non-stick pan. You can scrub, or take the steel wool to it to get rid of those baked on pieces, but you will ruin your pan! The same goes for teeth - slow and steady wins the race. What brush to buy? If you have never used an electric brush and not sure if you will like it, try to stick with something under $50. Some people do not like or CAN'T STAND the vibration! More expensive brushes come with more tech - timer, different settings, an app for your phone. But they are not needed for a good brushing experience! Have a dental question you'd like answered? Send it in! Stay safe and keep that smile healthy! https://youtu.be/SBETJnUwwwc See more
