While fear of the dentist is a very real thing (one which we recently wrote about), there’s another issue that plagues parents when it comes time for children’s dental check-ups – kids that just don’t want to go.
With so much emphasis on keeping your family’s teeth clean, it can be easy to overlook the proper cleanliness of the tools you use – especially toothbrushes. Here are a few ways to ensure yours stay clean and safe for your family:
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.
In our last post, we outlined some tips to get your kids back-to-school ready. This week, we’re getting into year-round habits that can keep your whole family’s pearly whites healthy – it’s all about what you eat!
Flossing daily is an important part of a healthy dental routine. It may also be one of the most overlooked. Are you guilty of not flossing enough? If the problem is simply not knowing how to floss properly and effectively, we’re here to help.
As we get older, our teeth can become increasingly discoloured due to the foods and drinks we ingest, as well as general daily wear and tear. All of these factors can cause our smiles to look yellowish and dull. While a proper dental routine can help to keep our teeth bright and healthy, many people turn to professional teeth whitening as a solution.
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.
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?
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Ashley Chan to our team! When we met Dr. Chan, we were immediately impressed with the care and compassion she has for her patients. She will make a great addition to the Southeast Dental family in Markham. Dr. Chan will be joining us the first week of July.
