The History of Teeth Cleaning
From a young age, we learn what a toothbrush is and how to properly brush, floss, and generally care for our teeth. For generations, dental health routines have widely been the same. But have you ever wondered where our current teeth-cleaning methods came from? Here’s a brief history lesson.
The Truth About Tongues
When discussing dental health topics, we often focus on teeth and even the gums – but what about the tongue? Believe it or not, your tongue is actually quite interesting and important.
It’s Southeast Dental’s Anniversary!
This week marks one year since we opened the doors of our Markham dental clinic. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful patients, as well as our amazing staff. It’s been a great first year, and we appreciate each and every person who has been a part of it.
Baby’s First Tooth at Birth?
Most babies usually get their first tooth at 5 – 8 months, but sometimes babies are born with teeth! They are called natal teeth and occur in approximately 1 in 2,500 births. If the teeth appear within the first month or so after birth, they are termed neonatal teeth.
What Colour Are Your Gums?
Like people, our gums come in different colours, shapes, and texture. The colour of your gums is an important indicator of oral health. The gums, or gingiva, are attached to the jaw bone which surrounds your teeth. They help to support and hold teeth in place.
What Your Gums Can Tell You
We pay a lot of attention to our teeth on a daily basis. We keep them clean, make sure they’re white, and check for food and plaque. But what about our gums?
The Truth About the Tooth Fairy
It’s a long-standing tradition that most of us have grown up with – when a child loses a baby tooth, they place it under their pillow. Then, while they’re sleeping, a magical fairy takes the tooth and leaves money in its place.
But where did this tradition come from? There are several theories about how the Tooth Fairy originated.
Unlimited Supply of Teeth
Did you know that Sharks have an unlimited supply of teeth? Sharks can grow, shed and replace as many as 20,000 teeth in their lifetime.
Unfortunately we’re not as lucky as Sharks to have an unlimited supply of teeth so it’s important we pay close attention to our own dental care. Let Southeast Dental in Markham help you achieve an unlimited supply of bright smiles. Contact us to learn more about our dental services.
Your Dental Fingerprint
Did you know that just like a unique fingerprint, every human has a unique tongue print and a unique set of teeth? Even identical twins do not have the same set of teeth.
Southeast Dental in Markham can help you take care of your dental fingerprint with our wide range of dental services. Contact us or book an appointment online to find out how.
