Getting a check-up while pregnant is safe and essential for your dental well-being.

Not only can you take care of cleanings and procedures like cavity fillings before your baby comes out, but your dentist can help you with any pregnancy-related dental symptoms you might have.

Most people know that not brushing your teeth daily can lead to cavities, bad breath and tooth decay.

But recent studies find that poor dental hygiene can also have unexpected health consequences, such as increased risks for Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease.

Cavities are permanently damaged portions in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings.
They are caused by a combination of factors, including bacteria, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks and not cleaning your teeth well.

Yes! Our dental practice provides dental care to children and young adults.

Children’s dentistry has a wide range of approaches to help a child complete needed dental treatment.

A pediatric dentist makes a recommendation of behaviour guidance methods for the child based upon health history, special health care needs, dental needs, type of treatment required, the consequences of no treatment, emotional and intellectual development, and parental preferences.

Implant dentistry offers a great option for tooth replacements – dental implants!
Dental implants are metal posts, usually made of titanium, surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw as a replacement of the missing tooth root. The implants become sturdy anchors for one or more replacement teeth.

Another option is dentures. Dentures are custom-made appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and oral functions.

There are two kinds of dentures – full and partial dentures. A full denture is used when all of the person’s teeth are gone, and a partial denture is used when there are still teeth left.

Good oral hygiene can help you prevent cavities. Here are some tips to help you avoid developing cavities. Ask your dentist which tips are best for you.

• Brush with fluoride toothpaste soon after eating or drinking
• Rinse your mouth
• Visit your dentist regularly
• Consider dental sealants
• Drink some tap water
• Avoid frequent snacking and sipping
• Eat tooth-healthy foods
• Consider fluoride treatments
• Ask about antibacterial treatments
• Combined treatments

We firmly discourage using denture repair kits. If you see breakage on your dentures, no matter how small, call and go to your dentist.
Denture repair needs the skills and knowledge of a dentist. Fixing the damage yourself by using denture repair kits can only cause further damage, which may make it more difficult for your dentist to fix.
