When you’re in our office, you’ll probably notice dental assistants and dental hygienists working around you. What do these important people do?

The dental assistant works with the dentist while you’re in the chair. Assistants keep you comfortable and help the dentist with your treatment. They also take care of “behind the scenes” tasks such as processing X-rays and making sure the dentist has the right information.

The dental hygienist helps keep your teeth safe from decay and periodontal disease. Their main job is to clean your teeth to remove decay-causing plaque and tartar. Hygienists provide fluoride treatment and give you pointers and advice on your oral health care.

At Dentistry on Brant, our friendly dental assistants and hygienists are dedicated to your dental health! Call us today to make an appointment.

To soothe your teething baby, gently rub their gums with a clean finger, cold spoon, or a moist gauze pad. Avoid using numbing gels as they may be hazardous to your baby's health. Letting your baby chew on a solid rubber soother can help to ease their pain as well. Call us with any questions or to arrange your baby’s first dental visit by the age of 1 (or within 6 months of their first tooth).

Dry mouth (or “xerostomia”) is a common side effect of 15 of the top 20 prescribed medications. Dry mouth can lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. Depending on the medication, there are a few strategies that can help. Reach out to us or your doctor to develop a plan.

There are three basic types of dental implants. Single tooth implants are topped with a crown to complete the restoration. Fixed implant bridges replace two or more missing teeth. Implant-supported dentures hold dentures securely in place. If you have questions about dental implant options, please call us at (905) 633-7373.

Many people find water flossers useful if they have braces or bridges. They can spray away bits of food between teeth and remove plaque — which can cause tooth decay.

Night guards can protect your teeth while you're sleeping. Jaw pain, clicking noises or headaches in the morning might mean that you are grinding your teeth during the night. This can cause excessive wear and tear, including chipping or cracking. Ask us about a custom night guard to protect your teeth. (905) 633-7373

When a tooth is missing, the bone surrounding the tooth can be lost. Bone loss can change the appearance of the face to give the mouth a “sunken” look.

Dental implants are a popular replacement for missing teeth, but they also have another benefit: they can prevent bone loss. The implant stimulates the surrounding bone, keeping it strong and healthy. For best results, the implant should be placed as soon as possible after losing a tooth. Call us to learn more.

Gum disease can be a scary topic, but not when you know the facts! Red or swollen gums, bleeding gums, bad breath, or sensitive teeth may indicate the early stages of gum disease (gingivitis). Left untreated, gum disease can lead to shrinking gums, and tooth loss. Caught early, gum disease can be reversed with periodontal treatment and at-home care.

Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing before bed, plus regular dental check-ups with professional teeth cleanings are essential in preventing gum disease. Call (905) 633-7373 to book an appointment today!
