STRESS & YOUR TEETH We have all been under a lot of stress in the past year Do you know the effect that stress has on your teeth? When we feel overly stressed, we may begin to clench or grind our teeth unconsciously. While this can happen during the day, it often happens at night, leaving us waking up with a sore jaw and potential longer term complications like worn down or misaligned teeth ... While there are steps you can take at home to help with teeth grinding and clenching, it’s important to talk with your dentist or doctor who can recommend the best treatment in your specific situation! . . . #kits #kitsilano #yvr #VancouverBC #BCdentist #DailyDental #CanadianDentist #DentistCanada #endo #endodontist #smile #teeth #RootCanal #SaveYourTeeth #Stress #Sleep #WednesdayWisdom

5 STARS "As someone who is terrified of even a dental cleaning, Dr. Abbey and his team were very understanding of my nerves. They were calming and genuinely cared to make me as comfortable as possible. I appreciated that they treated me like a person and not just another patient and the follow up call to check in the day after my appointment solidifies that they care. Root canals are never fun, but if you have to get one, I do recommend the team and Dr. Abbey at Kits En...do."

The tooth fairy Does your child look forward to a visit from the tooth fairy every time they lose a tooth? Here are three ways to make the moment even sweeter: Get a special dish or box to keep their teeth safe until the tooth fairy arrives... Ask the tooth fairy to leave behind a smile calendar (a fun way for your child to track their brushing, flossing, and dentist visits) Create a keepsake notebook or scrapbook of your child's smile changes and milestones . . . #kits #kitsilano #endo #endodontist #teeth #tooth #smile #RootCanal #Dentist #BCDentist #DailyDentist #DentalAssistant #DentalHygienist #yvr #VancouverBC #MondayMotivation #ToothFairy #BabyTeeth #Family See more

Procrastination Who doesn't procrastinate once in a while? It's okay to push some things off until later, especially when we are dealing with a lot at once (hello, global pandemic). But one thing you shouldn't procrastinate on is maintaining your teeth and gums! Constantly delaying dental checkups (especially when you are in pain) can prove harmful to your oral and overall health. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can reduce discomfort and expose conditions before they... become problematic later on - so make this the one thing you don't procrastinate on! . . . #kits #kitsilano #yvr #VancouverBC #BCdentist #smile #endo #endodontics #RootCanal #RootCanalTherapy #teeth #cavity #DailyDentist #CanadianDentist #Canada #procrastination #procrastinator #StayHome #StaySafe See more

Let's talk brushing Are you making sure that you brush all of the surfaces of your mouth? This simple move can cut down on how many bacteria you have floating around your mouth at any given moment, which can help reduce the chance of cavities & gum disease This should include the insides of your cheeks, the inside and outside of your gums, and the roof of your mouth. The more of these surfaces that you miss, the more bacteria get left in your mouth to cause trouble!... . . . #kits #kitsilano #endo #endodontics #yvr #VancouverBC #Vancity #BCdentist #DailyDental #DentistDaily #toothbrush #Teeth #Smile #RootCanal #DentalAssistant #BrushYourTeeth #TeethTips See more

Crowns! No, not that type of crown The crown is the part of the tooth that you can see above the gumline. When the tooth becomes decayed, worn down, or broken, an artificial crown can be placed on the tooth to protect it from further damage!...

Do you feel like there's something missing during those virtual calls with friends or coworkers? If you are constantly conference calling with the camera off you are missing out on a ton of cues (like smiles and nods).

This is why we do it folks! Our patient was a 50 year old male with an infection and abscess from a previous root canal on the lower right molar. While we should have called it quits and extracted the tooth, the patient was reluctant to lose it and was willing to take a chance on an alternative treatment to an extraction. Chance of success was likely less than 50%. ... We removed the tooth, cleaned and sealed it outside of the mouth and reimplanted it. When done carefully and safely, the ligament holding the tooth can heal! 4 months after the extraction/reimplant, you can see that the bone is growing back! . . . #Kits #kitsilano #endo #endodontics #RootCanal #RootCanalTherapy #XRay #BeforeAndAfter #Smile #Teeth #SaveYourTeeth #yvr #Dentist #BCDentist #VancouverBC #MondayMotivation

Floss, but make it a water floss Is a water flosser part of your daily routine? Water flossing is a great way to reduce bacteria buildup along the gum line, and it gives your mouth that fresh & clean feeling If you decide to give it a try, remember that water flossing does NOT replace regular brushing & flossing! Those are still very much needed to keep your teeth & gums healthy. ... . . . #kits #kitsilano #endo #endodontics #smile #teeth #BCdentist #yvr #VancouverBC #Waterflosser #brush #floss #RootCanal #DentalAssistant #DentalHygienist #DailyDentist #Weekend #Saturday See more

Let's talk confidence Do you know how much your smile affects your self confidence? After having an orthodontic, endodontic, or cosmetic dental procedure, you may begin to notice how much your self-consciousness has been holding you back. Many patients comment on how much more confident they feel doing regular, day-to-day things like laughing, having their pictures taken, eating, or talking now that they have a new smile.... Patients who didn't ever feel comfortable eating around others now do so with ease. Those who never smiled or laughed in photos no longer give it a second thought. Some even feel more confident when speaking and offering up their opinions at work since they’re no longer concerned about what others will think of their teeth. A great smile = a great big confidence boost! . . . #kits #kitsilano #vancouverBC #yvr #BCdentist #dental #teeth #ortho #endo #rootcanal #rootcanaltherapy #newsmile #confidence #confidenceboost #compliments #happy #friday #friyay #selfie #fabulous

"I came in a couple years ago to have an infected tooth with a root canal redone while I was on a student exchange from abroad. The dentist and staff were very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I still remember the positive experience I had here even after 8 years. I now live back in Europe but would even consider flying back for any other endo treatment I need to have done in the future. A good dentist is priceless!!" -Marie B. Thanks to Marie for remembering us all these... years later!

If you asked us 'is my infected natural tooth worth saving?' our answer would almost always be YES! Why? Keeping your natural tooth helps to keep your other teeth in line & preserve the shape of your mouth It is easier to speak & chew naturally with natural teeth Root canal treatments are often virtually painless, while extraction can cause greater discomfort during & after the procedure... The cost of an extraction PLUS a new denture, bridge, or implant is often more expensive than an Endodontic procedure Do you have a tooth that is infected and may need to be extracted?

Any guesses for what the success rate for root canal therapy is? . Drum roll please... . It's about 97%! The increase in success rate is due to multiple improvements in root canal treatment techniques, such as better file materials for cleaning canals, more effective disinfectants, and incorporation of microscopes allowing better visualization of the root canal system ... . . . #kits #kitsilano #endo #endodontics #BCdentist #vancouverBC #vancouverdentist #teeth #smile #rootcanal #rootcanaltherapy #success #successrate #newsmile #confidence See more

Computer Digital Radiography (CDR) is cool! Dental x-rays can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image directly into a computer monitor What are the benefits of this? Larger images help the patient understand the doctor's explanations more easily ... Enables the doctor to "zoom in" on a specific area of the tooth Reduces radiation exposure Faster x-ray process (only takes a few seconds!)

The source of tooth pain may be dental decay, a cracked tooth, or an infection. Regardless of the cause, if you have ongoing pain it’s time to see a dentist or endodontist for treatment In the meantime, do some research for information on common pain symptoms, possible causes and some steps you can take to ease the discomfort - the American Association of Endodontists is a great resource! . .... . #kits #kitsilano #endo #endodontics #rootcanal #rootcanaltreatment #BCdentist #VancouverBC #yvr #smile #toothache #toothpain #frontline #dentist See more
