Knowing the cause of bad breath (or “halitosis”) is half the battle. We can often help patients find relief with treatment and advice. Causes of bad breath include poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, infections in the mouth, plaque buildup, diet, and some health conditions.

Practicing good oral hygiene can often end bad breath. Brush twice a day and floss to remove food particles from between the teeth. Brushing the tongue can also help.

For patients who suffer from a dry mouth, chewing sugar-free gum may help stimulate saliva production. Over-the-counter dry mouth treatments can also help.

Ask us for help with chronic bad breath. We can help determine the cause of the bad breath and recommend solutions to minimize odour.

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!

Popsicles are a perfect treat for a hot summer’s day - but they can be packed with sugar! An easy recipe for a healthy, tooth-friendly version includes plain yogurt, which is packed with calcium, and low sugar berries such as strawberries or raspberries.

Using the blender, liquify one cup of berries and combine with a half a cup of yogurt and freeze using a popsicle mould. Simple and delicious!

Gum disease treatment can reduce blood sugar levels for those with diabetes. According to the American Dental Association “... in people with type 2 diabetes, treatment of severe disease (for instance, deep cleaning) can lead to a drop in blood sugar levels. The benefit is about the same as you might find if you added another drug to your usual diabetes medicine.” Ask us about the link between diabetes and gum disease at your next checkup.

Our hygiene visits take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on a patient’s oral health needs.

During a standard hygiene visit, our hygienist will scale your teeth to remove plaque bacteria and calculus (hardened plaque) and polish your teeth to remove stains and give them a shiny finish. There may also be a fluoride treatment, as well as a discussion on the best ongoing care for your teeth and gums.

Be sure to come in for a hygiene visit every six months to maintain good oral health. Call (905) 940-5229 today to schedule your next appointment with us.

Children often have spaces between their baby teeth to allow for larger permanent teeth to grow in and fill in the spaces. Not only are these gaps normal, but they can also make it easier to clean between teeth and allow permanent teeth to grow in straight.

Regular hygiene appointments are so important to your oral health. We start by reviewing your medical history and asking about any changes in your health. Then we dive into the oral examination, where we check the condition of your teeth and gums. (Sometimes this may include a low-dose X-ray and an oral cancer examination, too.) The cleaning stage involves removing built-up plaque and calculus (tartar), as well as polishing and perhaps fluoride. We wrap things up by discussing your treatment plan going forward. We look forward to seeing you at your next hygiene appointment!

Dental sealants offer a thin barrier of protection against cavities. Sealants can be applied to the chewing surface of molars and premolars as soon as the adult teeth come in, and can last for several years.
