We can prevent tooth decay and if it is present, slow down the growth of the decay by simply brushing our teeth each day.

Just gave a "virtual" lecture last Tuesday at Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry on "Caries: The Disease You Will Treat for the Rest of Your Professional Career". Part of the lecture involved presenting the students with the need to ask WHY. The critical question for determining what caused a particular problem and how to solve and improve the patient's oral health.

Just finished reviewing a paper for JDR Clinical & Translational Research. I have been doing reviews for a number of journals for the last 10 years but so pleased to be part of the editorial board for this journal.

Honoured to be one of Dentistry Today's Leaders in Continuing Education. Currently, I am involved in looking at the linkages between adverse childhood events and enamel malformation. I am also involved with a group of colleagues looking at the design and implementation of Canada's National Dental Program.

it's not simply a cracked tooth but an indication of stress. If we find one cracked tooth there are typically other teeth that have cracks due to clenching / grinding and bruxism. The Canary System is the accurate diagnostic tool for detecting cracks and treating them before the tooth fractures. We need to look beyond the tooth and assess the health of the patient and help them to understand what stress is doing to their body.

In June 2020, Dr. Stephen Abrams got a call from a patient saying that she cracked a tooth. But when he started asking questions, Abrams realized something more was going on. Learn how he helped in this episode of What's on My Chair.

Cracked teeth are a sign of a greater problem in patients. Research shows that the added stress of the pandemic is leading patients to clench and grind their teeth at higher rates. I spent the time discussing with my patients to see how they’re coping with COVID-19. We also used The Canary System to detect the cracks that X-Rays and visual exams are missing. When a tooth is cracked, the teeth surrounding it are impacted as well, which can cause major problems. For more information check out the interview here:

Today is World Oral Health Day. Tooth Decay is Preventable and if Found Early in the Disease Process it can be reversed. The Canary System provides the accurate diagnostic tool for detecting and monitoring tooth decay.

The Canary System is included in the new text book "Microinvasive Dentistry Clinical Strategies & Tools". We need to move caries management into the 21st century. This involves accurate diagnostics that can detect, measure and monitor lesions on all tooth surfaces and around restorations. The Canary System provides the solution

The Canary System is able to detect, measure, monitor and record changes in tooth structure. Our latest presentation outlines some of our latest findings: https://www.facebook.com/1276647161/videos/10223991326592451/?extid=qdBMr541N78HzwjV

The stress of dealing with COVID has really had an impact on dental patients. A large number of people are seeking treatment for cracked teeth or cusps caused by clenching and grinding. Grinding and clenching does not affect only one tooth. The Canary System can find cracks on neighbouring teeth that require treatment. If found early, one can avoid a disaster. Other caries systems (including x-rays) find this a challenge as they are not detecting & measuring defects below the tooth surface.

Dr. Stephen Abrams is a dentist in Toronto, he is also the creator of The Canary System a revolutionary system to detect changes in the crystalline structure of dental enamel. This allows us to detect early decay, enamel dysplasia and even early fractures which are undetectable using conventional di...

I was very surprised by the number of patients we have seen in the last few weeks with fractured teeth. As part of my examination, I use The Canary System to examine the teeth adjacent to and opposing the fractured tooth. This helps us provide a very comprehensive treatment. We also consider placing bite splints to help deal with the clenching and grinding.
