A crown is a covering that sits over the top of the tooth. Crowns protect, cover, seal and strengthen your tooth. When a filling just won't do the job, we often turn to the crown.

When large old fillings break down, or get decay around them, the tooth often needs to be crowned. It is important to crown a tooth that has been structurally weakened to prevent further damage such as cracking or breaking.

Groundhogs, also called Woodchucks are part of the rodent family. As such their teeth grow continuously back toward the roof of their mouths creating a risk of becoming embedded. This creates a need to constantly gnawing on wood or hard objects to keep their teeth sharp and at a manageable length.

Across Canada there are other groundhogs whose predictions have become part of this tradition of prognostication. They include Nova Scotia's Schubenacadie Sam, Ontario's Gary the Groundhog, Brandon Bob of Manitoba and Alberta's Balzac Billy.
