Common dental myth: Whiter teeth are healthier teeth. Fact is your teeth may be white but this does not mean there are no infections and cavities between your teeth. Pure white teeth do not always mean healthier teeth. #teethwhitening https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

The average person only brushes for 45 to 70 seconds, while the recommended amount of time is 120-180 seconds. don't skip out on brushing properly twice a day! #dentaltip https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

They say ignore your teeth and they will go away. That's why regular check-ups with your dentist are important. #dentalhealth https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Did you know that two-thirds of your tooth is underneath your gums? That means only one-third of your tooth's length is visible! #dentalfact https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

If you don't floss your teeth, you miss properly cleaning 35% to 40% of your teeth! So don't forget to floss. #floss https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Vitamin C is essential in keeping your gums strong. Lack of vitamin C causes gum tissue to weaken and loosen teeth. You can increase your vitamin C intake by adding a vitamin C supplement to your diet. #dentaltip https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Don't forget to smile. Smiling boosts your immune system and relieves stress by releasing endorphins :) #dentaltip https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

How harmful are gummy bears for your teeth? Gummy bears are not only sticky, causing them to linger around in your teeth for a long time, they are also high in acidity which is damaging to your teeth and wears down tooth enamel over time. #candy https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Does bad breath mean you are a bad brusher? Not necessarily. Bad breath can be caused by several factors, only one of which is poor dental hygiene. A stomach full of garlic and onions is bound to give your breath a foul odor, and certain illnesses can give you bad breath as well. #dentalmyth https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Did you know the amount of sugar you eat is not the deciding factor in tooth decay? It is about how long the sugar is in contact with your teeth. This means that eating three candy bars, then immediately brushing your teeth, is less harmful to your dental health than eating one candy bar without brushing. #dentalmyth https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Did you know? Not too long ago, dentures were common wedding gifts in the British Isles. At that time, many people expected to lose all their teeth and had their teeth extracted at an early age. #extractions #dentures https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Did you know? A dental impression is a negative imprint of hard (teeth) and soft tissues in the mouth from which a positive reproduction (cast or model) can be formed. It is made by placing an appropriate material in a stock or custom dental impression tray which is designed to roughly fit over the dental arches. #dental #impressions https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

There used to be a myth that an aspirin directly on your tooth will relieve pain. There is no such thing! You should never put aspirin directly on or near an aching tooth. After all, you wouldn't put aspirin on your forehead if you had a headache, would you? The only safe and effective way to take an aspirin tablet is to swallow it. Call your dentist if you have tooth pain, and let a professional help! #toothache https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Here’s what it looks like day 1 back at the office how do you like it ?

My team and I are excited to announce a return to the profession we love on Monday May 25. Things will be somewhat different during this transition but we have been busy working in the background to ensure safe and comfortable setting for you to come back to. On that note I wanted to share one more tune I did with my brother during this "covid crisis" and hope that it makes you smile. See some of you in a week. Have a safe and wonderful balance of your long weekend !

Braces will not set off metal detectors. It is not possible to lock braces while kissing. Braces do not interfere with radio signals. Wearing braces will not increase your odds of being struck by lightning. You can still safely and effectively play instruments and participate in sports while wearing braces. #braces https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Office update: we are pleased to announce the office will be resuming regular services and office hours beginning Monday May 25th. We have made all necessary changes to office protocols and PPE to keep clients and staff safe and healthy. Please call on Tuesday May 19 to speak to Sandy and book your appointment. We look forward to seeing you all again!

Thirty-five percent of the population is born without wisdom teeth. Researchers debate whether this is evolution or culture. Modern humans no longer need these teeth for survival. Some researchers have looked into the link between how different cultures use their jaws. In parts of East Asia, for example, it is common to find people without wisdom teeth. #wisdomteeth https://drbrentmacdonald.ca #dentistcalgary #dentist #dental #dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #dentistnearme

Amazingly global news CHQR radio Calgary has now invited me to speak with hosts Sue and Andrew at 8:19 am tomorrow (Thursday) for anyone interested.

I am very thankful to have been afforded the opportunity to be interviewed on Global TV Calgary by host Dallas Flexhaug regarding Dentists transitioning back to work and whats changed since the initial mandated closure.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have regarding what was discussed or anything else dental related. I will be starting back the last week of May and possibly sooner.Some of this depends on Alberta Dental Association guidelines going forward. I would be happy to speak to any of you with any queries.

I hope all of you my patients and friends are doing well in these challenging time’s. Since I can’t be at work I thought I’d let you know I’m doing something to pass the time while social distancing with my brother and his wife. Hope to see you all soon ! Brent
