Wisdom teeth and stem cells, their potential could be great! Read more here.

Wisdom teeth, often seen as useless and problematic, may actually be tiny vaults of "medical gold." Inside their dental pulp lie mesenchymal stem cells — versatile building blocks capable of transforming into bone, cartilage, nerve, muscle, and even fat cells. These cells carry immense potential for regenerative medicine, offering hope in repairing tissues that were once thought to be beyond healing.

What makes them special is accessibility and quality. Since wisdom teeth are commonly removed at a young age, the stem cells harvested are fresh, healthy, and more potent. Unlike invasive bone marrow extraction, collecting them is simple, non-invasive, and they can even be cryopreserved — stored for future use when needed.

Research is already exploring their role in treating fractures, jaw bone loss, spinal cord injuries, heart damage, diabetes, and even eye disorders. Though most applications are still under study, one thing is clear: that little tooth often thrown away after extraction might just hold the key to life-changing therapies.

Concerned about a new mole or other skin change? Get checked!

It's important for you to pay attention to your moles and skin regularly so you can talk to a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. It's also important to note that you can't see all the areas where skin cancer can lurk AND you may not have the expertise to know if something SHOULD be concerning.

Our clinic offers full-body skin cancer screenings in the convenience of your home or our office. If we find any concerning spots, we can take a sample of it and send it to the lab to be tested. We can also refer you to a dermatologist if a specialist is warranted.

Today is World Breathing Day 2024!

“The way you breathe affects every system, organ, and cell in your body. It boosts or reduces your immunity, supports the movement of your joints right from your core, and can help regulate conditions from high blood pressure to back pain, and PMS to chronic fatigue.

The breath provides a powerful and direct gateway to your nervous system. It impacts diabetes control and seizures in epilepsy.”

Access Dental Hygiene is signed on to be a provider for the Canadian Dental Care Program. Do you qualify?

Do you think you might qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan? Here is the schedule for getting your application in this year.

The plan is fairly decent as far as preventive care goes (in some cases it may cover most of your dental hygiene care and in some cases it will be a “helping hand” style of program)

Do you know someone that has questions about this program? Happy to share the info I currently know!

DM or comment below.

Why might a person like to book an in-home medical housecall?

Never Feel Rushed

We don’t limit the number of issues addressed per house call. That is because your conditions are often related to one another and affect how you're feeling as a whole.

Flexibilty

Although our office operates during regular business hours, we do our best to accomodate your needs. Saying that, please book your house call as soon as possible so we can offer an appointment that fits into your schedule.

A Consistent Provider

Given that we are a small team of practitioners, we can arrange your house calls with consistent providers for your comfort.

Being Thorough

Our favourite part about making a house call is the time we get to dedicate to one patient at a time. Even more, we can see how your environment and can modify our treatment plan based on your unique needs.
