National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today we come together to honour the survivors of residential schools, their families, and the children who never returned home.

At Asante Dental Centre, we pause to reflect, listen, and learn. This day reminds us that reconciliation is a shared journey — one that begins with compassion, understanding, and the commitment to do better for future generations.

We invite our community to wear orange, engage in meaningful conversations, and take time to remember that Every Child Matters.

🧡 Let’s walk this path of truth and healing together.

The longer treatment is delayed, the more invasive and expensive it becomes.⏰💸

Tooth decay begins silently. In the earliest stage, you may not see or feel anything. But beneath the surface, enamel is already demineralizing due to acids from plaque bacteria. At this stage, a simple fluoride treatment can stop and even reverse the damage—saving your tooth and avoiding future pain.

As decay progresses, it breaks through the enamel into the dentin, leading to visible cavities. This requires a filling. Delay further, and the decay may reach the pulp, needing root canal treatment and a crown. In worst cases, the tooth becomes unsalvageable, needing extraction and replacement with an implant or bridge—both costly and time-intensive.

Early dental visits, regular check-ups, and preventive care are the smartest ways to protect both your teeth and your wallet.

Always use soft bristle brush and replace every three months.

Aggressive brushing doesn’t make teeth cleaner—it makes them weaker. When too much force is applied while brushing, it can erode the enamel, which is the natural protective layer of the tooth. Once this enamel wears away, it doesn't grow back, leading to increased sensitivity and a higher risk of cavities.

Excessive pressure also harms the gums. It can push the gum tissue away from the teeth, causing gum recession. This exposes the tooth roots, making them vulnerable to damage, decay, and infection. Over time, it may even lead to tooth mobility and loss if not addressed.

Proper brushing is not about force, but about technique. A soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle, circular motions are most effective in removing plaque without damaging the teeth or gums. Brushing should feel comfortable—not painful or harsh.

Healthy brushing protects both teeth and gums. Aggression in oral care does more harm than good.
