Have you ever wondered if flossing your teeth important? Our answer is YES! Since you are unable to reach all of the bacteria and plaque with your toothbrush alone, flossing is instrumental in a good dental routine. For instance, a toothbrush only covers approximately 2/3 of the surface area of your tooth; therefore, if you don’t floss, you are missing more than 1/3 of your tooth surface Flossing is a vital part of good oral hygiene to help prevent gum disease

Here is a little Wednesday wisdom on how to get rid of bad breath. The single most important thing you can do is brush and floss your teeth on a regular basis. The majority of the time, bad breath is the result of bacteria or left-over food particles in the mouth. Therefore, if your desire is to stop bad breath, the easiest thing you can do is to brush and floss your teeth at least two times a day. In a relatively short period of time, you should start feeling and noticing the difference. Rinsing your mouth after brushing is another very effective way to curb bad breath. You can use plain old water, although mouth wash works great. Depending on how serious your bad breath issue is, both methods should be quite helpful in reducing the frequency of bad breath and helping you feel much fresher in the mouth.

Do you or someone you know suffer from chronic pain in the jaw, face, head, neck or shoulders? This pain may be caused by a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Treatment of TMD may include relaxation techniques, a referral to a physiotherapist, a chiropractor or a behavioural therapist to help you ease muscle pain. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at your next dental visit!
Lets talk Root Canals... Root canal treatment is the process that removes infected or injured pulp and nerves from your tooth. When bacteria (germs) enter your tooth through deep cavities, cracks or flawed fillings, your tooth can become abscessed. To save the tooth, the dentist makes an opening in the tooth to reach the root canal system and the damaged pulp. Then, removes the pulp by cleaning and enlarging the root canal system. After the canal has been cleaned, the dentis...t fills and seals the canal. After a root canal treatment, your tooth has to be restored (fixed) to look, feel and work as much like a natural tooth as possible. The choice of restoration will depend on the strength of the part of the tooth that's left. A back tooth will likely need a crown because chewing puts a great deal of force on back teeth. If there is not enough of the tooth left, posts may be used to help support the crown. If you have any questions, feel free to ask any and all questions at your next visit! https://www.cda-adc.ca//oral_h/talk/procedures/root_canal/

When will my baby's teeth appear? This is a question that we hear often. But in actuality, every child is different. The first primary (or baby) tooth usually comes at about 6 months, but it isn’t unusual for teeth to appear as early as 3 months or late as 12 months.... Most children will have all 20 primary teeth by 3 years. At around 5 or 6 years, your child will start to lose their primary teeth to make room for their permanent teeth. :)
The addition of fluoride in drinking water has generally been a well- accepted public health measure, that helps to protect all members of the public. Fluoride is a natural mineral found in rocks, soil, and water, and helps to strengthen tooth enamel through remineralization which in turn decreases tooth decay!

Brush up on the basics! Brushing your teeth properly at least twice a day helps to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Here are some tips for proper brushing: 1. Brush your teeth for two to three minutes.... 2. Avoid hard scrubbing. 3. Hold your toothbrush at a 45- degree angle and gently brush in short strokes from where the tooth and gum meet to the top of the tooth. 4. Brush all inside and outside surfaces. 5. Clean the pits and crevices on the chewing surface of your teeth wit short sweeping strokes. 6. Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask at your next visit! :)
