Raw crunchy vegetables like celery and carrot sticks can actually help disturb disease causing dental plaque!

They also stimulate your gums, reduce cavity-causing bacteria and the extra chewing increases saliva flow.

More saliva is good because it decreases the acidity in your mouth and washes away particles of food that lead to decay 🦷

Tartar is the hard mineralized version of plaque that can't be removed or disturbed with brushing (or carrots 😅). It has to be professionally "scaled" away during a dental cleaning!

Due for a visit with a Registered Dental Hygienist?

We'd love to see you!

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease.

The good news is that cavities are largely preventable!!!

To ensure your child’s teeth are healthy, check in with a dental professional by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts.

Here's what you can do at home:

🦷 consider using a xylitol based toothpaste as soon as their first tooth erupts
🦷 consult with a dental professional on when to introduce fluoridated toothpaste
🦷 floss once teeth touch
🦷 avoid sticky sweet snacks and choose whole foods often
🦷 discourage frequent snacking
🦷 minimize saliva swapping (cavities are contagious!)

We welcome children and adults of all ages for dental cleanings and preventive dental care!

Check in with us today to make an appointment or to learn more about what to expect at an early visit.

Oraqix is a non-injectable gum numbing gel that helps reduce sensitivity when getting tartar removed.

It's applied below the gumline with a blunt, thin metal tip!

I love making dental cleanings as comfortable as possible!

Flossophy is an independent dental hygiene clinic which means there are no dentists on site!

My clients visit me for preventive dental care like dental cleanings and oral health assessments and visit their dentist separately for exams, xrays and treatment as required.

Here's why people choose my dental hygiene clinic:

🦷 one on one approach (it's just me and you the whole way through!!)
🦷 no wait room time
🦷 relaxed setting
🦷 family friendly space
🦷 focus on prevention

Check out these practical tips for improving your oral health at home!

🦷 Interdental cleaning is important! If you can't nail down a daily flossing routine, consider using an interdental brush or a water flosser (like a Waterpik).

🪥 Brush twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste (or one that contains calcium hydroxyapatite). See pink in the sink when you're brushing or really like that squeaky clean feeling? Try an electric toothbrush!

😛 Mouthwash doesn't replace brushing or flossing, but if you want to enhance your daily routine look for one with fluoride or xylitol.

💧 Sweet drinks bath teeth in sugar which can increase your risk of cavities and sensitivity. Beware of carbonated drinks because even diet-anything-bubbly is acidic in nature and can do the same!

The truth is that for a lot of people, their dental anxiety has little or nothing to do with the fear of pain; it's the fear of being judged.

If you need help getting back on track, I've got you ❤️

Hate the idea of picking up the phone and calling? You can send me a text!
