TRUTH: When it comes to brushing, there can be too much of a good thing. Brushing too often or too hard can cause your gums to recede leading to tooth sensitivity and issues down the road. Follow a regular oral health care routine and brush your teeth twice per day for two minutes to keep your gums happy and healthy. #PatientFirst #MythBusted #DentalHygiene #OralHealthTips #StayHealthy #HealthySmile #Healthcare #DentalCare #OralHealth #Smile

TRUTH: When tooth decay begins, there typically aren’t sensations of pain. Pain is an indicator of more serious dental issues. Visit your dentist regularly for your routine dental hygiene appointments and prevent issues before they start. #PatientFirst #MythBusted #DentalHygiene #OralHealthTips #StayHealthy #HealthySmile #Healthcare #DentalCare #OralHealth #Smile

2020 has been a stressful year for many of us. Have you been suffering from headaches, toothaches or jaw soreness? It's possible that you have started grinding your teeth as a result of the extra stress.

Your dental team can identify the problem and let you know if a nightguard is the right option for you. #PatientFirst #stress #headache #toothache #soreness #teethgrinding #COVID19 #COVIDknowhow #healthysmile #healthcare #dentalcare #oralhealth #smile

Have you heard of mask mouth? With all the mask wearing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, some people have noticed that they have not been pleased with what they are smelling while sporting a mask. When you wear a mask you may notice you are breathing through your mouth a lot more and this can cause you to have a dry mouth, hence the odour. ... What can you do? Wash your reusable mask regularly! Stay hydrated! Practice good daily oral hygiene at home! Brush your teeth twice daily and floss once a day. See your dentist regularly! Use a mouth rinse! Cut down the sugary snacks! Breathe through your nose! #COVIDKnowHow #wearamask #maskmouth #avoidmaskmouth #drymouth #hydrate #oralhygiene #healthcare #dentalcare #oralhealth #smile

Did you know that your jawbone needs the stimulation from your teeth connecting with each other, like when you chew, in order to maintain its mass? When you have missing teeth and that stimulation is not present, it is common to lose bone mass in your jaw as a result. Dental Implants are the only tooth replacement treatment that generally helps maintain bone volume in the area of the missing teeth being replaced. #dentalimplantawarenessmonth #smilesforlife #dentalimplants #restore #dentalrestoration #didyouknow #healthysmile #healthcare #dentalcare #oralhealth #smile

Did you know, when you have missing teeth, you lose the natural support to your facial structure that your teeth provide. Over time, this can change the shape of your face and can make you appear older. Dental Implants can help restore the shape of your face and mouth and provide that missing support if your natural teeth are no longer there. #dentalimplantawarenessmonth #smilesforlife #dentalimplants #restore #dentalrestoration #didyouknow #healthysmile #healthcare #dentalcare #oralhealth #smile
