How can we prevent Periodontal disease? ... 1) Brush for two to three minutes, at least twice a day, with fluoridated toothpaste 2) Floss daily to remove plaque from places your toothbrush can't reach. 3) Although not a substitute for brushing and flossing, a mouth rinse can reduce plaque up to 20 percent. 4) Eat a healthy diet. 5) Visit the dentist at least twice per year for dental check up. #smile #periodisease #mississaugadentist #bestdentist

What is tooth decay? Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, is a disease that starts just below the surface of the tooth. If left untreated, it can damage the structure of the tooth and eventually lead to a cavity (a hole) in the tooth. A common treatment for a cavity is a dental filling. How can we prevent this?... In most cases, tooth decay can be prevented and even turned around in its early stages with good oral hygiene, a well balanced diet and regular dental visits. #toothdecay #mississaugadentist #bestdentist

TIP#5 Think about a Sports Guard. Before your child goes back to school, we recommend getting them a custom-made sports guard, especially for children who participate in sports on a weekly basis. A custom-made sports guard is better for their teeth, gums and jaw than an over-the-counter one size fits all.Whether participating in organised team sports, or extra-curricular activities, a sports guard should be part of every child’s sports kit. #backtoschool #mississaugadentist #sports

Tip #4 Keeping teeth clean at school! While many dentists would like to see children brush their teeth after each meal to help keep their teeth healthy, this is impractical at school. Instead, you can encourage your child to rinse their mouth with water after each meal. This will help to remove some of the food particles which can contribute to the production of plaque. #Healthyteeth #backtoschool #mississaugadentist

TIP #3. EMBRACE HEALTHY EATING For most of us, we don’t often think of how eating can affect our oral health. Many of the foods we eat that are considered unhealthy for our bodies are also unhealthy for our teeth, and this is especially true for young kids. Sticky, sugary, and starchy foods and drinks often end up getting caught in the small gaps in between the teeth, causing cavity issues and tooth decay. To prevent these dental problems, make sure to only pack healthy snacks like fruits, veggies, whole grain bread, nuts, yogurts, and cheese in their lunch box.

TIP #2 DEVELOP A DENTAL CARE ROUTINE Even before your kids return to school, you should have an established dental care routine. However, for most parents, back-to-school comes with a lot more work to do to ensure the right balance between family work and school work. Despite the busy schedule, parents need to develop a back-to-school dental routine and stick to it. This is one of the most important back-to-school dental tips to ensure your kids don’t neglect brushing and flossing routines.

TIP#1 - Visit the Dentist Regularly . Even though baby teeth are not permanent, they act as placeholders for adult teeth as well as help with speech and chewing. It has been shown that children who suffer tooth decay go on to have more problems with their adult teeth. In some instances, an infected or decayed baby tooth can negatively affect how adult teeth erupt. By visiting your dentist every six months we can help you and your child maintain a healthy smile.

Wishing All of our Clients a Safe and Enjoyable Thanksgiving with Family and Friends
