A question we receive a lot is…
Why do my gums bleed when I brush/floss my teeth?
The most common reason is that you have an excess buildup of plaque or tartar, which comes from eating sugary or acidic foods, and a lack of brushing.
Plaque and tartar allow bacteria to grow along the gumline.
Regularly brushing and flossing can help to prevent sensitivity and bleeding from the gums.
We'll say it again - brush your teeth!

Do you floss every day?

When you skip flossing, a few unfortunate things can happen.

You may develop swollen gums, plaque buildup on the gumline, or in the worst cases, tooth decay in between your teeth caused by buildup of bacteria.

But have no fear, you can avoid this!

Here’s some tips on how to properly floss during your daily brushing routine:

Wrap the floss around both middle fingers, then use your thumb and other fingers to have more control once you are closer to your teeth. Create a C-shape with the floss and slide it up and down the front, back and sides of your teeth 5 times. Repeat this for every tooth in your mouth.

Happy flossing!

Did you know that tooth decay comes as a result of the things we eat and drink?

Unfortunately, delicious treats like sweets, chocolate, soft drinks and fruit juice all generate plaque acids that will break down the surface of the tooth when allowed to build up.

To make things worse there are no noticeable symptoms of tooth decay in its early stages, and it is common for people to only visit their dentist after they've realized there is an issue. Ouch!

The good news is that your dentist can spot early-stage cavities through x-rays or a routine dental examination.

So if you like to enjoy all the tasty treats this world has to offer, come visit us at [custom variable] and we’ll be pleased to ensure that your pearly whites remain happy, healthy and strong!

How do I choose the right dentist for me?
It's important to find a dentist whom you can get along with. If you and your dentist “vibe”, there are still some other things to consider:
-Is the appearance of the office clean and professional?
-Is the appointment schedule convenient for you?
-Is the office near to where you live?
-Does the dentist explain and offer advice regarding good oral health?
-Are the costs of treatments given to you before being scheduled?
-Do they have a good reputation?
Having semi annual visits to the dentist is one of the best ways to maintain good oral health. So make sure you find the right fit to ensure that, after your dental cleaning, you’ll have a reason to keep smiling.

At what time do people go to the dentist?

At tooth-hurty…

But seriously, don’t wait for pain before you go to the dentist. Tooth decay doesn’t show symptoms in its early stages, and great dental health can be easily achieved through regular appointments ;)

Considering going to the dentist for a check up?

Here’s what the process would look like:

First, the hygienist will do a cleaning, and will use various tools in order to remove tartar and plaque from around the gum line and surface of the teeth.

Then, the hygienist will give your teeth a quick polish to ensure a bright and shiny smile!

Meantime, the hygienist may also take x-rays or report anything they see to the dentist.

Next, the dentist will arrive and take a look at your teeth, gums, throat and neck, to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. The dentist will review the x-rays and recommend any treatment you may need in order to maintain good oral health.

Finally you get to have a quick chat with your dentist about your general oral health habits – and, if you want, take a moment to shoot the breeze!

And there you have it! As long as you’ve been taking good care of your teeth, you should be all set to go.

Quick, easy, and painless :)

A dentist's hands are used to repair fractured teeth, remove tooth decay, and to fill cavities.

But what’s really happening upstairs?

Among their many responsibilities, a good dentist will provide meaningful advice on how to maintain good dental hygiene.

This can include instruction on how to clean the teeth, how to prevent issues before they arise, and even dietary advice to ensure that your teeth remain healthy and strong.

Many dental issues remain symptomless until they become more serious.

If you feel like you could improve your dental health, drop us a question in the comments below and we’ll let you know how to get started today :)
