Thinking about picking up a hobby? The benefits extend beyond just a temporary distraction!

A 2023 study published in Nature Medicine (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02506-1) followed 93,263 adults aged 65+ across 16 countries and the results were fascinating...

People with hobbies reported greater happiness and life satisfaction, better self-rated health, and fewer depressive symptoms.

Even more interestingly, consistently participating in a hobby also predicted future happiness, satisfaction, health and helped lessen depressive episodes.

A 2022 systematic review (https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000200929) and meta-analysis involving more than 2 million participants found that cognitive leisure activities like arts and crafts were associated with a 34% lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease.

If your toothbrush bristles are flared or worn out after just a few weeks, it usually means you’re brushing too hard!

Brushing aggressively doesn’t make your teeth cleaner... it can actually wear away enamel and cause your gums to recede. That kind of damage is permanent!

A soft or extra soft toothbrush can feel like it isn't "working" if you brush too hard; massage gently in circles being conscious to direct the bristles just below your gum line (that's where the nasties hang out).

It takes about the same amount of effort as wiping a foggy mirror... not like scrubbing a dirty floor!

Can't seem to slack off the elbow grease? Try switching to an electric toothbrush. Some models even have features (like a red light or a different pulse sensation) when you apply too much pressure!

Great question!

Myofunctional therapy aims to improve the function of facial and mouth muscles by retraining them through exercises, primarily focusing on correcting:

👅 tongue positioning
😣 swallowing patterns
💨 breathing habits

Improving these functions can help address issues like sleep apnea, speech impediments, jaw pain, and misaligned teeth; essentially, it's like physical therapy for the muscles of the face and mouth.

Adults and children alike can benefit from myofunctional therapy!

Interested in coming in for a consult? Live in or around Toronto? We're welcoming new clients for preventive dental care and myofunctional therapy!

Humans are engineered to breathe through their noses, which means you should be able to eat and breathe at the same time.

If you or your child eat loudly, gasp for air, or chew with your mouth open, mouth breathing is likely the culprit!

Other signs can include:
* snoring, grinding teeth, or restless sleeping
* frequent cavities despite good dental hygiene
* waking up tired, irritable, and/or getting hyper during the day

These can all be signs of disordered breathing — something that affects far more than just eating!

A myofunctional assessment can uncover the root cause. Myofunctional therapy can help you and you child breathe, sleep, and feel better 🙌
