Someone once told us that there is no good weather, there is no bad weather, there is only weather. Our advice is to dress appropriately, grab an umbrella and enjoy the summer months. The warm weather outside is great for staying active and the rainy days that move you indoors can be used to practice your colder month activities.

Are you heading off to school?
Many post secondary institutions offer health plans that include dental coverage. If you are enrolled in a post secondary program, remember to look into the coverage offered to you.

We'd love to see your smile!
Summer vacations will be winding down in the upcoming weeks. School supplies, carpools and daily routine are just around the corner for many households. Even if there are no children around your home, many of our patients find that the summer months are more flexible when it comes to time. Whether you are heading back to school, back to work, or have been at your desk all summer, now is a great time to come in for a check up and cleaning.

Is it a perfect ten?
A seven, or perhaps even lower?
Does your smile make you look younger, sexier, and smarter?

It can.

When you look at pictures do you ever wish your teeth were straighter, whiter, more aligned? Cosmetic dentistry allows dentists to perform porcelain veneer 'smile makeovers' which can address all of these issues. We are delighted to be able to offer this revolutionary technique to our patients.

It is critical to teach your child the importance of taking good care of their teeth, but you need to keep an eye out for the development of bad dental habits and try to stop them before they start.

Sending your child to bed with anything other than water in their bottle can be asking for trouble by increasing the chance of tooth decay. If you do send your child to bed with a bottle, you should gradually dilute the liquid until it is all water.

Thumb sucking is another habit that can have negative oral consequences in the form of 'buck' or crooked teeth. The good news is most children will stop on their own between the ages of 2 and 4 but it is much easier to break any habit early.

It is important to teach your child to brush their teeth everyday. Remember, take care to show your child that they only require a pea sized drop of toothpaste. Show them how to properly brush, rinse and spit. This will help to prevent your child from swallowing their toothpaste when they brush.

With your guidance you can help to prevent future dental problems before they start. Be sure to discuss any concerns you might have with your child's oral health and habits next time you are in to see us.
