Mapleview Dental - Newsletter

Please come join us at The Burlington Women's Show on Sunday Feb 21, 2010. We hope to see you there.

Do you have a strong aversion to dental treatment? You aren't alone! Surveys have shown that the number one reason people avoid the dentist is fear. While skipping your dentist trips may be good for your nerves it can have quite a negative effect on your oral health.

Fortunately Maple Dental Office is proud to introduce Nitrous Sedation.

Better known as laughing gas, this type of sedation is administered to relax the patient before dental work is commenced. If you feel anxious about your next trip to the dentist don't! You can just relax in the chair while we take care of your smile!

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are now relaxed, rested and ready to face 2010 head on.

January 17 to 23 is National Non-Smoking Week. If you have been trying to quit now is a great time! Ask us how we may be able to help. Remember all tobacco use affects your overall health as well as your teeth and smile. If you need some help quitting be sure to visit the smoker's helpline for tips and support.

The 2010 Winter Olympics are just around the corner. If you have been looking for a new sport to add to your winter fun the Olympics should provide you with ample ideas.

Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a beginner at your sport of choice, remember to stretch and ease back into any activity slowly. Avoiding injuries will help you enjoy the sport throughout the season. If your sport of choice involves contact, remember to ask us about a properly fitted mouth guard.

Why does your dentist want to schedule another appointment with you so soon - even if today's oral examination was perfect?

Regular dental visits are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. For maximum benefit, a good home care regimen must be supplemented with an examination at least every six months.

Depending on the status of your oral health, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
