Here's a quick tip for people with braces - don’t chew on things that aren’t food!

We all do it sometimes, mindlessly chewing on a pen or crunching on ice. It’s a common habit, but one that can cause damage to your braces and your teeth. If you’re finding it hard to break the habit, try leaving yourself a reminder on your phone or computer monitor!

Brushing at least twice a day is great, but flossing is important too! Flossing not only gets the little bits of food stuck between the teeth, but it also removes plaque from areas that toothbrushes can’t reach. Keep your teeth healthy by flossing every day!

It’s tricky to reach your back teeth when brushing. Even though it’s a bit more effort, it’s so important to brush your back teeth properly.

Make sure that you are using the correct size brush for your mouth. Try closing your mouth, and shifting your jaw to the side, to reach the cheek side of those back molars. That will give you a bit more room. You can also tilt the brush at a 45-degree angle to reach the very back surface of your last tooth.

You may find that an electric toothbrush helps you reach those difficult areas more easily.

It takes a bit of trial and error to find a method that works best for you.

One simple way to check if you’ve done a good job brushing and flossing is the tongue test! Run your tongue across the surface of your teeth, especially at the gum line. If you find any areas that don’t feel smooth and slick, you may need to give those areas some extra attention!

Children laugh before they can talk. Smiles and laughter are some of the earliest ways babies try to communicate with the world around them. And as children get older, they still smile and laugh hundreds of times every day. That’s why it’s so important to keep their teeth healthy!

Contact us today to make an appointment for your child. We promise we’ll make them laugh. ;-)

A bridge is a great way to replace one or more missing teeth by literally “bridging the gap” between your remaining teeth.

Using the teeth on either side of the gap as supports, we secure a fixed bridge made up of realistic-looking artificial crowns that will need to be brushed and flossed, just like natural teeth.

Curious if a fixed bridge would be a good long-term solution for your missing teeth? Call (250) 336-2006 to learn more.

Plaque is the sticky, germy mixture that forms on your teeth every day (especially where your teeth and gums meet).

If you fail to clean off plaque, it hardens into tartar — plaque and tartar can cause an infection called gingivitis. Yikes!

Don’t worry, though, because the most effective way to stop plaque in its tracks is by brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. You’ve got this!

When should you start brushing your baby’s teeth?

You can start cleaning your baby’s mouth with a soft, damp cloth even before their first tooth emerges. This will help them get used to having their mouth cleaned. Once their first tooth emerges, you can begin gently brushing their teeth with a baby toothbrush and a smear of children’s toothpaste. Clean their mouth and brush their teeth at least twice a day.

While brushing and flossing help to remove plaque — and regular hygiene visits are important, too — fluoride is a secret weapon that helps in a different way.

This mineral not only has the power to prevent tooth decay, but it can also repair your teeth when they’re in the earliest stages of tooth decay.

When was your last in-office fluoride treatment? Call (250) 336-2006 today to schedule your next hygiene visit, and be sure to ask us if a fluoride treatment would be right for you.

Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar that’s often found in chewing gum and mints.

But unlike regular sugar (sucrose, glucose, and fructose), Xylitol actually has the power to reduce tooth decay, dry mouth, and gum disease. It’s also been proven to increase bone density and improve a person’s overall oral health.

While Xylitol is toxic to dogs, it’s perfectly safe for humans and has been recognized by Health Canada for its oral care benefits. So feel free to pop a Xylitol mint or stick of Xylitol chewing gum, knowing it’s helping to reduce oral bacteria and protect your tooth enamel.

Children’s baby teeth are very important. They help children speak, chew, and smile. They also hold space for their adult teeth that are still growing. If a baby tooth is lost too soon, it can affect the alignment of the adult teeth later. That’s why babies should go for their first dental exam after they get their first tooth.
