Polishing your teeth removes surface stains, leaving your teeth shiny and smooth and less likely to collect stains and calculus as quickly in the future. Think of it like the finishing touch on a protective dental treatment, designed to help your teeth look and feel their best.

Babies have a natural sucking reflex. They often suck on their fingers and thumbs because it makes them feel safe and secure. Some babies will also suck their thumbs to soothe themselves, especially when they are going to sleep.

Thumbsucking can cause changes to a baby’s jaws and skeletal structure before their permanent teeth start to erupt. Most children stop sucking their thumbs between the ages of two and four with minimal impact on their permanent teeth. If children continue sucking their thumb after their permanent teeth begin to erupt, their teeth may become misaligned and they may need braces or orthodontic treatment.

We can help parents encourage and guide their children to stop sucking on their own so they can enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.

A frozen puck or stray elbow to the mouth can end a game fast. A custom sports guard from North Street Dental is the best protection against injuries. Call us at (902) 543-4488 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!

People who floss regularly benefit from healthier teeth and gums, fewer cavities, and fresher breath. It’s easy to make flossing a regular habit and it doesn’t always have to be done at bedtime, just once per day. Floss while watching TV or listening to music, or even in the shower!

Men are more likely than women to experience periodontal disease, and it may also impact other areas of men's health.

Studies have shown that prostate health, cardiovascular disease, impotence, and even cancer may be associated with a man’s periodontal health.

That’s why it’s especially important that men come in for hygiene visits twice a year and monitor potential symptoms of periodontal disease, including swollen or tender gums and bleeding while brushing.

Tap water is the best beverage for your child’s teeth. It’s sugar-free, and it washes away leftover food and the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. Fluoridated water also strengthens tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay. So skip the juice and encourage your child to reach for water the next time they are thirsty!

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. Book an appointment with us today!

No two smiles are exactly alike, so we work with our patients to come up with a dental exam and hygiene visit schedule based on their individual needs. Our goal is to see you regularly, but only as often as your personal oral health needs indicate. An appointment takes only 30-60 minutes to complete, and you’ll leave our office with gleaming teeth and that fresh-from-the-dentist feeling.

Ready for your close-up? Our patients often express interest in whitening their teeth for a special event, like a wedding, reunion, graduation, milestone birthday, or special vacation.

Depending on the whitening treatment you choose, you may want to start as early as three months prior to your special event. Then the majority of the whitening will take place ahead of time, and you can have a “booster” treatment right before you really need it.

If you have a special event coming up and you’re curious about your teeth whitening options, please reach out to us and we can discuss it further.

Got a toothache? Here are a few things you can try to get some relief from the pain while you wait to see your dentist.

Try rinsing your mouth with warm water and flossing between your teeth to dislodge any food particles that may be causing the discomfort. If the tooth has been injured, try applying a cold compress on your face near the area. You may also get relief with over-the-counter pain medications taken as directed. Do NOT place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum as it will cause a chemical burn and will not help your toothache.

Call us right away at (902) 543-4488 if you develop any of these symptoms: the toothache becomes more severe, there are signs of infection such as inflammation, swelling, and redness in the area, you develop a fever, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing.

07/03/2025

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!
