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.

Fluoride is not just for kids, and it is not just in your toothpaste.

A quick in-office fluoride treatment strengthens enamel, helps reverse the earliest signs of decay, and cuts down on sensitivity. It takes a couple of minutes at the end of a cleaning and pays off for months.

Adults with sensitivity, dry mouth, or a history of cavities benefit the most. Ask Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga whether fluoride makes sense for you.

"But nothing hurts, so why do I need to come in?" We hear it all the time, and it makes sense. Here is the catch.

Most dental problems are completely painless until they are not. Cavities, gum disease, and even cracked teeth quietly grow for months before they ever ache. By the time it hurts, the easy fix has often become the expensive one.

A checkup is how we catch the small stuff while it is still small. Overdue for yours? Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga can help.

If you could change one thing about your smile, what would it be?

Whiter? Straighter? Close a little gap? Fix a chip that has bugged you for years? There are no wrong answers, and the solution is often simpler than you think.

Tell us in the comments. You might be surprised what is possible, Mississauga.

Quick confession time: most people who floss are doing it a little wrong.

Snapping the floss straight down can actually irritate your gums. The trick is to curve it into a C-shape around each tooth and gently slide it just under the gumline, where the brush cannot reach and where trouble likes to start.

Two minutes a day, done right, saves you a lot of grief later. Want a quick demo? Ask at your next visit to Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga.

Chipped a tooth on a fork, a fall, or a popcorn kernel that fought back? It happens, and the fix is easier than you would expect.

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin to rebuild the chipped area, blended to match so well that no one will spot it. Often it is done in a single visit, no drilling drama required.

Got a chip that bugs you every time you look in the mirror? Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga can smooth it over.

Happy National Tooth Fairy Day!

Somewhere out there a kid is tucking a tiny tooth under a pillow tonight, and honestly, we are a little jealous of the tooth fairy’s job.

Fun fact: those baby teeth are placeholders that guide the adult teeth into position, which is why caring for them matters more than people think.

Lost-tooth photos welcome in the comments, parents. Happy Tooth Fairy Day from Schellenberg Dental.

Sore jaw in the morning? Headaches that start at your temples? Teeth that look flatter than they used to?

You might be grinding your teeth in your sleep and not even know it. Over time, grinding wears teeth down, cracks them, and strains your jaw. A custom nightguard is a simple, comfortable way to protect your smile while you sleep.

If any of that sounds familiar, ask Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga about a nightguard.

Your mouth is pretty good at warning you before a small problem becomes a big one. The trick is knowing which signs to take seriously.

Swipe through five symptoms that are worth a call, not a wait-and-see. Catching any of these early usually means a simpler, easier fix.

If bad breath sticks around no matter how much you brush, the problem might not be your breath at all.

Persistent bad breath often starts on the tongue, or it can be a sign of gum disease, dry mouth, or a tooth that needs attention. Mints just cover it up for a few minutes. Finding the real cause actually fixes it.

Tired of fighting it? A quick visit to Schellenberg Dental in Mississauga can get to the bottom of it.
