One simple way to check if you’ve done a good job brushing and flossing is the tongue test! Run your tongue across the surface of your teeth, especially at the gum line. If you find any areas that don’t feel smooth and slick, you may need to give those areas some extra attention!

While braces alone do a great job aligning a person’s teeth, sometimes they need a few tricks — like adding little rubber elastics, either vertically or horizontally — to make them even more effective.

These tiny rubber bands work by providing extra force to help shift the teeth exactly where they should go. They can also speed up the alignment process, which puts a person even closer to that magical day when their braces are removed to reveal their beautiful new smile!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! If you’re indulging in anything dyed green today, try to rinse your mouth to prevent staining before you’re able to get home to brush and floss.

Somewhere between the ages of 17 and 21, most young adults experience the eruption of their third molars (also known as wisdom teeth).

If wisdom teeth come in properly and there’s room for them in your mouth, they can help you chew. But crowded or partially-erupted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infections, tooth decay, and cysts, in which case it’s best to have them removed for your own comfort and safety.

If you do wind up keeping your wisdom teeth past your mid to late twenties, we’ll continue to monitor them to make sure they don’t cause problems down the road.

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!

The bacteria found in plaque can irritate your gums and lead to early gum disease, called gingivitis.

You might have gingivitis if you're experiencing mild inflammation of your gums, red or swollen gums, plaque build-up, bad breath, gums that bleed easily, and tooth sensitivity. But because it often doesn't cause pain, many patients have no idea they have gingivitis until we tell them.

Gingivitis can usually be reversed with our help, so be sure to come in for regular hygiene visits so we can help spot it in the earliest stage.

Chewing gum after a meal stimulates saliva flow, which can wash away food particles, neutralize decay-causing acids produced by bacteria, and strengthen enamel. Look for gum that contains non-cavity causing sweeteners such as xylitol or aspartame. And remember, chewing gum isn’t a substitute for regular brushing and flossing!

Untreated tooth decay can lead to problems with dental health and overall health including dental pain, infections and abscesses. If the decay is detected soon enough, it can sometimes be reversed with treatment. Regular dental exams are key for early detection, so book an examination with us today!

If you’re experiencing menopause or perimenopause, you might also be noticing changes to your teeth and gums.

Some women report dry mouth, burning sensations in their gum tissue, or an altered taste (often salty, peppery, or sour).

In rarer cases, women experiencing menopause or perimenopause experience something called “menopausal gingivostomatitis,” which changes the colour of their gums and makes them more prone to bleeding. (Most women find that estrogen supplements help with these symptoms.)

Braces are used to reposition teeth to make them straighter. Most braces work with a combination of brackets, wires, and elastics. First, a metal bracket is cemented to each tooth. Then a wire is placed in all the brackets. The wire is held in place by an elastic (also called a ligature) on each bracket. This keeps the wire in place and allows each tooth to move individually - over time the pressure from the wire on the brackets gradually realigns and repositions the teeth to the proper positions.

We may use a few different types of elastics on your braces. In addition to the ligatures, your dentist might use a special elastic called a powerchain to close spaces between teeth. We may also attach a tiny spring to the braces to change the spacing between individual teeth.

Elastics also come in a rainbow of fun colours, so they’re a great way to dress up your braces!
