Ever wondered the proper way to hold floss? Wrap 18 inches of floss around your index or middle finger. Hold it 1 to 2 inches apart between your thumb and index finger. Gently place the floss between your teeth, curving it in a “C” shape along the side of one tooth. Move the floss up and down several times on each side of the tooth. Be careful not to force the floss between the teeth or too far under the gums. Flossing shouldn’t hurt! When you’re done with one tooth, remove the floss and wrap the floss around your fingers to a clean piece of floss before moving to the next tooth.

A glass of orange juice tastes pretty terrible if you’ve just brushed your teeth, but it has nothing to do with the minty flavour of your toothpaste. Orange juice is sweet, but it’s also a little sour. The foaming agent in your toothpaste temporarily blocks the taste receptors on your tongue that register whether something is sweet — which means you can only taste the sour part of the juice.

A big shout out to our hygiene team. They are in charge of cleaning your teeth above and below the gumline, including removing plaque in hard-to-reach places, and tartar buildup that you can’t remove at home. They look for signs of tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health issues or changes in your mouth. If they spot anything during your appointment, they will let the dentist know. Our dental hygienists also keep track of your oral history and provide patient education to assist in your oral health care. To book your next hygiene appointment give us a call!

Therapeutic mouthwashes use antimicrobial ingredients to kill the bacteria that can cause plaque, gingivitis, bad breath, and tooth decay. Depending on the ingredients, these mouthwashes are available over the counter or by prescription.
Mouthwashes without these antimicrobial ingredients are considered to be “cosmetic.” They’re useful for freshening breath, but don’t reduce your risk of cavities or gum disease.

Orthodontic treatment can begin as early as 6 but typically starts between 8 and 14 years of age. Before that, we can offer early screening for potential problems, including airway issues. We may suggest pre-orthodontic treatments, such as spacers or palate expanders. Each case is unique and we are happy to help you understand the options available to help your child achieve straight teeth and a healthy bite. Give us a call today!

Gum disease can be a scary topic, but not when you know the facts! Red or swollen gums, bleeding gums, bad breath, or sensitive teeth may indicate the early stages of gum disease (gingivitis). Left untreated, gum disease can lead to shrinking gums, and tooth loss. Caught early, gum disease can be reversed with periodontal treatment and at-home care.

Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing before bed, plus regular dental check-ups with professional teeth cleanings are essential in preventing gum disease. Call (780) 944-1999 to book an appointment today!

There are three basic types of dental implants. Single tooth implants are topped with a crown to complete the restoration. Fixed implant bridges replace two or more missing teeth. Implant-supported dentures hold dentures securely in place. If you have questions about dental implant options, please call us at (780) 944-1999.

Flossing can be tricky with orthodontics. It can rip or stretch on metal brackets and bands, and it can be difficult to thread under the wires and appliances.
Luckily, there is specialty floss designed for people with orthodontics. There is extra-strong floss that won’t break going around a bracket, floss threaders that have a stiff end for slipping through narrow areas, and even spongy expanding floss for cleaning around appliances.

While braces alone do a great job aligning a person’s teeth, sometimes they need a few tricks — like adding little rubber elastics, either vertically or horizontally — to make them even more effective.

These tiny rubber bands work by providing extra force to help shift the teeth exactly where they should go. They can also speed up the alignment process, which puts a person even closer to that magical day when their braces are removed to reveal their beautiful new smile!

Many people find water flossers useful if they have braces or bridges. They can spray away bits of food between teeth and remove plaque — which can cause tooth decay.
