Dr. Teresa Schellenberg & Associates Welcome to Mississauga Dental and Cosmetic Clinic Imagine if by simply brushing and flossing regularly, you were able to prevent a heart attack?

There is a Chinese proverb that goes like this: “A smile will gain you ten more years of life.” These words were written countless centuries ago, yet today they ring more true than ever. The links between oral health and overall health are being established on a near daily basis and the implications are astounding! We may not be there quite yet, however a definitive connection has been established between gum disease and heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications. And while the research moves forward, what we are learning today is that a healthy smile truly may add ten years to your life. No matter how old you are, you need to take care of your teeth and mouth. When your mouth is healthy, you can eat the foods you need for good nutrition. You will also feel better about smiling, talking, and laughing. Teeth are meant to last a lifetime. By taking good care of your teeth and gums, you can protect them for many years.

If you are pregnant, your mouth is going through changes too, and it is more important than ever to pay attention.

Hormonal shifts make gums more prone to swelling, bleeding, and a condition called pregnancy gingivitis. Left unchecked, gum problems during pregnancy have even been linked to other health concerns. The good news: routine dental care is safe and encouraged during pregnancy, and a little extra attention goes a long way.

Expecting, or planning to be? Let Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga help you keep your gums healthy for two.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Schellenberg Dental!

Today we are counting our blessings, and near the top of the list is you. Getting to care for the smiles of Mississauga families is a genuine privilege, and we do not take it for granted.

However you are spending the long weekend, we hope it is full of good food, good company, and plenty to be grateful for. Enjoy every bite (and maybe floss after the pie).

Here is a reminder that could save you real money: most dental benefits reset at the end of the year, and whatever you do not use, you lose.

If you have been putting off a cleaning, a filling, or that treatment we talked about, now is the time. Fall appointments fill up fast, and waiting until December often means waiting until next year.

Not sure what you have left? We are happy to help you check. Book your visit with Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga before the calendar runs out.

Wisdom teeth have a way of showing up uninvited, usually in the late teens or early twenties, and often without enough room to fit.

When they come in crooked, get stuck, or crowd the teeth you have worked hard to keep straight, addressing them early prevents pain, infection, and bigger problems later. Not everyone needs them out, which is exactly why a quick look and an X-ray matter.

Have a teen or young adult in that window? Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga can check whether those wisdom teeth need a plan.

It is National Dental Hygiene Month, so let us talk about the thing you do twice a day and might be doing wrong.

The most common brushing mistakes: scrubbing too hard (it wears enamel and irritates gums), rushing through in under two minutes, using a hard-bristled brush, and brushing right after acidic food or drinks. Gentle, thorough, and unhurried beats aggressive every time.

Small tweaks, big payoff. Want a quick technique check? Ask at your next visit to Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga.

Happy World Smile Day!

It started with one simple idea: do an act of kindness, and share a smile. We are fully on board, since smiles are kind of our whole thing.

So here is your feel-good assignment. Drop a smile emoji in the comments, tag someone who always makes you smile, or just go make someone’s day. We will start: we are grateful for every patient who trusts us with their smile.

Happy World Smile Day from Schellenberg Dental.

October 1st is the International Day of Older Persons, and it is a good reminder that dental care does not retire when you do.

As we age, a few things shift: medications can cause dry mouth, gums can recede, and older fillings or crowns may need attention. The payoff for staying on top of it is huge, keeping your natural teeth, eating comfortably, and protecting your overall health well into your golden years.

Caring for an older loved one? A regular checkup is one of the kindest things you can help with. Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga is here for every stage.

Fall face-off. Settle it for us.

Corn maze or pumpkin patch? Drop your pick in the comments.

Either way, we want to see the photos. Bonus points if there is a big smile in the frame, that is kind of our thing.

Have fun out there, Mississauga.
