Flossing is an important part of your dental home care. Aside from actually doing it daily, ensuring that you are flossing properly is essential.

How to use dental floss properly:

Tear off about 18 to 24 inches of dental floss. Wind most of the floss around both of your middle fingers, leaving about 1 to 2 inches of floss to work with.

Hold the floss taut between your thumbs and index fingers.

Guiding the dental floss in between two teeth, glide up and down firmly against both sides of each tooth.

Don’t allow the floss to mash against your gums to avoid scratching or bruising. If you’re guiding the floss against the teeth, you should be able to avoid this.

Guide the floss gently as high as it can go up against your tooth without hurting your gums. Curve the floss at the base of each tooth in a C shape. This allows the floss to enter the space between your gums and your tooth.

Repeat until all the gaps between your teeth have been flossed!

The best way to keep your home care in check is to schedule a professional dental hygiene appointment twice a year.

You may be wondering why are fillings so important? If you can keep the area clean, why not just leave it?

There are several reasons why and it’s not just because your dentist wants to see you 😉

Even the most vigilant tooth brusher can struggle to keep an area that needs filling clean. And this can lead to bacteria and infection spreading from the affected area to healthy parts of your mouth.

Also, missing parts of your tooth enamel are likely to cause a bit of pain and discomfort, especially as time goes by and your bite adjusts to the irregularity. The more pressure your powerful jaw bones and muscles put on compromised dental enamel, the more likely you are to accrue additional cracks and chips.

All in all, it’s best to visit your dentist to have that area filled. To learn more about your options when it comes to fillings, get in touch:

Wisdom teeth are molars that begin to appear in your late teens or early 20s. They are found in the back of your mouth.

As many of you might already know, wisdom teeth can become problematic for a number of reasons.

Impacted wisdom teeth, which have failed to appear above the gumline, can lurk below causing issues due to angle of entry or simply too little room.

When impacted wisdom teeth aren’t removed they can lead to gum tenderness, swelling, severe pain, and other more complicated issues.

If it’s time to get your wisdom teeth removed, get in touch!

You may have heard of Dental inlays, onlays and crowns, but might be unsure of what purpose they serve. When standard fillings aren’t enough to restore the form and function of your teeth, these alternative restorative options are available.

Also referred to as caps, dental crowns are placed over the entire tooth and can be made of various materials like gold, porcelain or zirconia.

Dental Inlays and Onlays are similar types of restorations, produced in a laboratory and permanently bonded to the tooth.

2022 is off to a really cold start, right? It’s possible that you may have been experiencing some heightened tooth sensitivity when breathing through your mouth in this cold, dry winter weather.

Along with other types of discomfort caused by the cold, dental pain triggered by extreme temperatures is quite natural.

The cause, however, could be indicative of an underlying problem, such as tooth decay.

Luckily, if you’re scheduling regular dental hygiene appointments, these types of underlying issues can be detected early.

What’s so great about composite fillings? 😄

Contrasted with metal fillings, composite fillings are made with a special resin that has the look and feel of real teeth.

This means that they look natural and give you more confidence when you smile. Putting in composite fillings is also a relatively quick procedure and once they’re in, they are tough and last a long time.

Also, they are completely safe and non-toxic. A big bonus is that they’re also resistant to temperature change, so they won’t cause any discomfort when you eat hot or cold foods.

Whether you’re in need of a filling or just a good old-fashioned checkup, get in touch!

12/03/2021

For patients with tooth decay, dental fillings become an essential procedure to safeguard oral hygiene and overall health. When left unfilled cavities can exponentially worsen your oral health.

Fillings restore decayed teeth by literally filling in decayed, cracked, and chipped parts of your enamel with a material that feels just as natural. These materials are used and designed to last for years.

However, as these materials become stressed by the same daily wear-and-tear your teeth do, they can fall out or become damaged themselves. So while fillings replace the lost structure, they do not strengthen the tooth.

So if you have had a filling come out, be sure to get in touch soon to get it replaced! Unfortunately, many people who put off fillings often require a root canal or tooth replacement later on.

Do you suffer from headaches? There is nothing more annoying than a headache coming out of nowhere when you are trying to get work done or simply relax.

Headaches are often the result of different illnesses or life stresses. However, there is another common cause: TMJ dysfunction.

The Temporomandibular Joint, where your jaw hinges, is at the centre of so much we do daily without thinking, from eating to talking. When one or both of these joints is misaligned, many issues can occur, including headaches.

If you are experiencing jaw pain, tenderness, or clicking with your headaches, you could have a TMJ disorder.

Luckily, correcting TMJ is one of our specialties. Give us a call or visit our website to get in touch!
