Chew on These…

Have you ever used a phrase and someone did not know what you are talking about. For example, I was describing a person who was about to lose their job and said he “is on thin ice”. What does losing a job in July have to do with thin ice? The phrases (Colloquialism) are part of everyday conversations and we use them to better describe or emphasize the point you are making. Did you ever wonder where those expressions came from? Here are the origins of six of the top tooth sayings:

1. By The Skin Of One’s Teeth-Found in the Book Of Job. Refers to the trials that he was put through and escaped “...with the skin of my teeth.” Which we use today to describe a -close call-.
2. Long In The Tooth- This term originates with a reference to horses. Teeth of horses continue to grow with age and some claim to estimate how old a horse is by examining its teeth. The longer the teeth the older the horse, and we use that analogy when describing someone or something that is older.

Harvest a Healthy Smile

Fall brings harvest fairs, farmer’s markets and fruit and vegetable stands loaded with tasty and healthy treats. Here are some great snacks to eat that are doubly good because they’re also great for your smile!
• Make a great crunchy veggie platter. The markets are bursting with farm fresh carrots, celery, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. Crunchy, firm foods that contain lots of water (and require lots of chewing) are good for oral health because they stimulate the flow of saliva and can actually scrub tooth surfaces. Organic yogurt and fresh herbs create a heart healthy dip too!
• Find some strawberries and some dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. Dark chocolate has been shown to be beneficial to teeth and makes a wonderful dip for a variety of berries.

Healthy delicious autumn treats to help you smile. Read more at:

A Strong Foundation

Teeth age with us and we sometimes overlook that older teeth may need different maintenance, just like with the rest of our health. Older teeth do not wrinkle, but can dis-color, lose enamel and weaken. The good news is the more proactive care we take of our teeth the fewer issues. Our teeth not only support us so that we can chew, bite, talk, and breathe, but also help open a bag of chips (not recommended).

Keep Your Teeth
A Strong Foundation

• Brush, floss and see your dentist regularly
• Eat a variety of healthy foods and drink plenty of water
• Deal with dental issues as soon as possible. They may get worse if not dealt with.

Don’t Labour at Tooth Brushing
The last long weekend of summer is done, kids are heading back to school and it seems like there are a million things to get done. Here are the top 5 reasons to electify your dental hygiene routine:
1, It’s easier to brush for longer. Some electric toothbrushes have timers included that even tell you when to switch quandrants of your mouth.
2. Your teeth will be brushed more evenly. Manual toothbrushing will use different pressure in certain areas depending on whether you’re right or left handed.
3. Your breath will be fresher! Brushing your tongue with toothpaste, combined with the very thorough job of an electric toothbrush zaps away bad breath!

Brushing Your Teeth Can Help You Feel Your Best

3:00pm is a time for mid-day slump. The work day is nearly done, and your energy level is low. You can go for some iced coffee or energy drink to get you through the afternoon, but you’re trying to cut back on the caffeine.

Some people feel that they perk up when they smell peppermint and to really get a boost they brush their teeth. After brushing, that fresh cool sensation when you take a deep breath can be revitalizing.

When you need an afternoon boost, instead of grabbing another cup of coffee, reach for your toothbrush. Brush and then go for a brisk walk.

Don’t Eclipse Mouth Safety Either

With all this talk about eye protection with the solar eclipse, it should remind us that sometimes we neglect protecting our teeth.Unlike looking at the sun during a solar eclipse that can cause permanent damage, most dental accidents can be repaired. But why take the risk and go through the expense.

For sports oral protection there are three common mouth protectors;

1.Ready-made and chew and go. These are the least expensive and do provide some protection, However, they can be big and bulky making it more difficult to breathe. The fit it may not be comfortable and you may not want to wear it.

Brush Camping

A lot of preparation goes into making a camping trip a great experience for the whole family. Something that’s overlooked is tooth brushing and flossing, especially without running water and a sink.

RV Camping – If you’re camping in an RV with running water tooth brushing should be fairly simple. Just remember that water from an onboard tank may be limited, so don’t leave it running.
Tent Camping – In a tent, space can be scarce, be sure to have a toothbrush case to store it safely and you can purchase the travel size toothpaste or some dentists give them away.

Back to School Check-Up

Kids love the summer off from school. This usually entails different routines when going on vacation, summer camps, or lazing doing their favorite activities.

Let’s keep good dental health

As a parent, helping your children develop good habits young can stay with them for a lifetime. One of those habits is a regular visit to the dentist and taking care of their teeth.
• Set some time aside before your schedule gets really hectic with school, sport, and other extra circular activities resume.
• A dental visit in August helps you get a head start on the rush of back to school activities.

Baby Boomer Teeth

If you were born between 1943 and 1964 you have Baby Boomer Teeth.
*Baby Boomer generation refers to a Boom in birthrates following World War II.

Baby Boomers are aging and their dental needs are changing
•Retirement may have you traveling more or at the cottage where there is less exposure to fluoride in the water supply, which could lead to decay.
•Fillings from your twenties or thirties are likelier to have decay. 30 year-old-fillings may be loose and worn or tooth changes can cause decay around the filling.
•Cavities in the tooth root are more common as gum tissue begins to recede in older adults, exposing the tooth root surface to decay.

As this generation is transitioning from adults to seniors, tooth cavities can be more frequent.A few causes for an increase in tooth decay may include:

To Tell The Tooth...

There were inquiries of why the Canada Day post celebrating 150th had a “barber pole” for a dental clinic. It refers to the nostalgia of when some dental procedures were under the Guild of Barbers established in France in 1210. 150 years ago, when the illiteracy rate was much higher, the pole with red and/or blue stripes meant more than a shave and a haircut.
