A cavity, or dental caries, is a small hole that forms in your tooth. This happens when bacteria in your mouth produce acids that eat away at the enamel, which is the hard outer protective layer of your teeth. Unfortunately, once the enamel is gone, it can't grow back, meaning cavities cause lasting damage to your teeth. If you think you might have cavities or want to check your dental health, please make an appointment by calling 902-423-3234.

Your oral health plays a vital role in your overall well-being. Neglecting dental care can allow harmful bacteria to enter your bloodstream, potentially leading to heart disease. Maintaining a consistent dental routine isn't just about a bright smile—it's about protecting your heart too. Contact us at 902-423-3234 to schedule your checkup today.

There are different studies as to why gum disease & heart disease are connected. Because of this connection, it makes sense to take good care of your teeth & gums.

Round of applause for saliva! It’s your mouth’s built-in defense system that helps wash away food particles, fights bacteria, and even protects against tooth decay. Hydration is key to keeping saliva flowing, so be sure to drink enough water, especially after eating meals or sugary snacks. Contact us for more information on how to properly care for your teeth by calling us at 902-423-3234.

Here’s today’s challenge: tonight, set a two-minute timer and brush your teeth, gums, and tongue in circular motions. Your mouth will thank you! Contact us at 902-423-3234 for other oral care tips.

Short answer: No. Brushing your teeth removes plaque and bacteria, which can help prevent more damage. However, it can't fix the enamel or fill the hole left by a cavity. If you suspect that you have a cavity, please contact our office at 902-423-3234 to schedule an appointment. We will provide you with the necessary evaluation and treatment options.
