February the love month ! Share the love not the germs! Did you know that periodontal bacteria that is present in our mouth is transferable! ... How? Kissing Sharing spoons Make sure your and your partner’s oral health is in check. Brushing and flossing is great, but the bacteria accumulated underneath the gums(pockets between teeth and gums) needs to be professionally removed. Since the tooth brush and floss can not reach in the deeper pockets, and this is why bacteria grows and thrives in those areas. We’ve got you covered DM us or call/text to book! 780-800-6655 @bound.folio

Today, our hygienists Carla and Anila sit down and discuss some of our current most asked questions! -How do we stay so calm working during this pandemic? -Why are we so passionate about giving dental hygiene services to our patients especially in this time? ... Watch to find out!

How are you taking care of your reusable mask? Here’s some care tips for a reusable mask: Do not share masks.... Fold mask with inside surface folded together. Store it in a clean dry surface in between uses. Wash your mask and use a drier to keep it dry. Change to a clean reusable mask often. Our mouth is a portal of entry for bacteria and viruses to enter in our body and even in our blood stream. Since we are wearing masks for extended periods of time, it is far more critical to keep number of bacteria and oral health in check. Call us today to book your professional dental hygiene and check up visit! During this time your dental hygienist is one of the most important health care professionals you should see! We are following strict guide lines to social distance, sterilization and disinfection between patients: We have no one waiting in our guest area. We recommend to book your family together so you can avoid interaction with other people. Book in advance. 2020 is almost over! Use your insurance benefits for your dental and overall health before the year ends!

As Registered Dental Hygienists here at Clean Smiles Dental Hygiene Clinic, We are capable of taking and interpreting x-rays. We take dental X-ray to provide optimum care for our patients! X- rays allow us to see what we can not see with our naked eye. We use dental x-rays as diagnostic and preventative measures! This small step can save our patients a lot of money and discomfort. Due to early detection, they can help us keep the teeth healthy for many many years ideally our... life time!! X-Rays serves many benefits, here are some: -They help us see the dental decay (cavities) in between the teeth, which happen to be the most common area for cavities. -They also allow us to detect cavities that are hidden underneath the fillings. -Monitor the bone levels. -Helps to see infection (abscess), around or at the tip of the root of our teeth. -Allows us to check for cysts or impacted teeth that can cause trouble.

5 Tips to manage dental anxiety: Start using sensitivity tooth paste few days prior to dental hygiene visit. Book your dental hygiene appointment earlier in the day, so you are not over thinking about it all day. Come prepared, bring head phones, bring your blanket with you or ask for one, basically anything that can give you comfort during appointment.... Come often, come as per your hygienist’s recommendation. To make this visit a routine and to avoid calculus and bacterial build up to be too much- it will take less time and gum will be happier as well. Know we got you covered, have multiple options to manage discomfort and ask us any questions you have. See more

Did you know this about acidic drinks? The acids from these drinks pulls the calcium out of the tooth structure. This mineral is needed to help strengthen the teeth, and losing this mineral can cause your enamel to wear away! ... Our recommendation is to avoid consumption of acidic drinks. If you do decide to continue, rather than continuously sipping, we suggest finishing in one sitting. This reduces the exposure of these acids to our teeth. Each sip is like an acid attack on our teeth Fun fact : Consuming protein rich foods right after the acidic food will help neutralize the acidity levels in your mouth faster! See more

During these crazy times we’re still the same friendly faces, although we may just be covered by a few more layers. Check out some ways our clinic is tackling Covid-19 protocols! If you have any questions regarding our new guidelines, send us a message!

Have you met Nicole? Nicole has been taking care of the Administrative end of things since the beginning of Clean Smiles. She has helped our clinic grow in many ways, and helped shape it into what it is today. Nicole has been so inspired by the amazing work and effort the dental hygienists at Clean Smiles dedicate towards helping their patients reach their oral health goals, that she has decided to start her journey on becoming a dental hygienist herself.... "I've learnt so much working alongside Anila and Carla. After learning more about the profession and witnessing the real difference they make in people's lives in relation to their oral and overall health, I knew this was what I wanted to be doing as well!" We are wishing Nicole all the best in the future! You will be missed! See more

Why flossing is so important? 1. Flossing reaches areas of the tooth that a toothbrush cannot - Brushing alone misses 40% of tooth surfaces! 2. Plaque often accumulates where teeth touch, which can lead to cavities between your teeth 3. Flossing toughens your gums and builds up a barrier against infection - When gums are not tough and bleed, they act as an open portal to your blood stream and can carry bacteria to the rest of your body... 4. Without flossing, food can get caught between teeth and start to ferment or decay inside your mouth It doesn't matter the time of the day, as long as you floss your teeth once a day! See more

#ThankfulThursday to our amazing clients at Clean Smiles who make our work even more enjoyable.

Today, Anila sits down to discuss a frequently asked question we get at Clean Smiles Dental Hygiene Clinic - why should I visit Clean Smiles? 1. We are all about prevention! 2. There are two ways of treating in dentistry: Proactively and Reactively. Dentists treat reactively, they fix dental problems once they have occurred. 3. We act proactively, we try to avoid these dental problems from happening in the first place, OR if you’ve had dental problems in the past, we give ...tools and create customized treatment plans so you don’t experience these problems again in the future. 4. We are able to take our own digital x-rays here in our clinic, we can read them and diagnose cavities, etc., and then guide you in the right direction. 5. Our focus stays prevention, rather than continually fixing dental problems. See more

Did you know we created #YEG’s first affordable program for dental hygiene services, Clean Smiles for Community Program, with a focus on offering reduced prices that patients can afford? We believe in making dental hygiene services and preventative dental care accessible to all members of our city, regardless of circumstances. This is just one way we can show up to help more Edmontonians in maintaining their overall health and wellness.

Anila is the incredible driving force behind @cleansmilesdental. She sat down to share a bit more about her for the first time! 1. On top of owning her own dental hygiene practice, she is also a wife and mother to her two amazing kids, Aleeza and Ariz. 2. She is incredibly passionate about making oral hygiene and prevention available to everyone which is why she created her own clinic, which focuses on accessibility and customized care. 3. The Clean Smiles for Community Pro...gram is her effort to make dental hygiene affordable for all Edmontonians, and it is one of its kind in #YEG! 4. When she isn’t busy with work or family, Anila absolutely loves cooking and enjoying time with friends. See more

Carla is one of our incredible Dental Hygienists here at Clean Smiles. She is energetic, giving, and genuine with everyone she meets. We wanted her to share 5 things you didn't know about her: 1. I played the viola for 18 years! 2. I went to hygiene school in Victoria, BC. It was incredible. 3. I’ve traveled to 13 different countries.... 4. I was a dental assistant before going into dental hygiene 5. I absolutely love to go rock climbing! See more

We are gearing up for back to school excitement and sharing our top 6 tips for getting kids excited to care for their teeth! 1. Let them pick their own toothbrush with a fun character so they feel involved. 2. Get an electric toothbrush that includes an app to play a game while they brush. For example, Mcleans has a great app called Nurdle time (free to download)!... 3. Brush your teeth in front of them or take time to do it together. Children are sponges and are always watching us. 4. Have a few different flavors of toothpastes available so they feel they have some autonomy! 5. Create a reward system to provide them with immediate satisfaction. For example, a gold star sticker chart with a monthly incentive for getting all their brushes in! This could be something fun like a trip to the zoo, or water slides, or a bike ride! 6. Create a schedule and specific time as tooth brushing time. Children thrive off structure so be sure to make a consistent routine and stick to it. See more
