YOUR CHILD AND THIER TEETH

Melissa SAYS!

Your child's first appointment should be after their first tooth erupts or before their first birthday. It would be a good idea to bring children to your own dental appointments to get them used to the dental office. Our office has a movie and play area to entertain them while they wait.

Some things to remember:

*Be sure to not put negative thoughts in your child's head with respect to their dental appointments. 

*Explain what happens so they know what to expect.

*Use a bright light to see into the mouth.

*Use a tooth counter to count their teeth.

*Have a special toothbrush that cleans and makes their teeth shiny.

*The more positive you talk about the dental office to your child the better experience they will have. 

*It is very important to us that your child has a happy and relaxing experience.

*Remind your child that teeth need to be cleaned to stay happy and healthy :)

BEAUTIFUL SMILES - DIASTEMA CLOSURES

Dr. Dimovski SAYS!

Closing spaces between teeth or diastema closure is one of the most rewarding procedures I perform as a dentist. The case shown here is of a beautiful sixteen year old patient with fairly straight teeth with spaces due to tooth-jaw size discrepancy. The patient did not like the spaces and asked for options. We discussed orthodontics (braces) and resin build up. We choose to close the spaces with composite resins (tooth coloured filling material). The procedures was completed in one appointment and the patient was very pleased with the outcome. For more information on how we can improve your smile be sure to contact us at 905-458-6620.

SESAME SEEDS AND WHY YOU SHOULD EAT THEM

Mira SAYS!

Sesame seeds are loaded with essential minerals such as manganese, copper, iron, phosphorus and calcium. These tiny seeds increase your levels of Vitamin E which plays an important role in fighting disease. As sesame seeds are rich in calcium, which helps in keeping your teeth healthy and strong they also dissolve the plaque that builds on your teeth. So next time you are choosing a bun or a bagel be sure it's one loaded with sesame seeds :)
