Spring has taken hold and the great Canadian Summer is upon us. With the days getting longer, most of us are spending more time in the sun. Aside from the obvious safety tips like putting on sunscreen and drinking plenty of water, there are a lot of precautions you can take to make sure you’re safe in the great outdoors:

Wear a helmet when you cycle
Make sure you wear supportive footwear when going on long walks and hikes
Use a good mouth guard for playing sports such as soccer and football to protect your teeth.
Contact our office and we can provide you with a high quality, properly fitted mouth guard.

Make your Mom smile on Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 11th and enjoy the Victoria Day long weekend and holiday Monday on May 19th. We hope that you make some great plans for the moms in your life.

Enjoy the warm weather and take care of your smile!

Until next time, keep smiling,

Prevent Infection with Oxygen/Ozone Therapy!

One of the most complex and perplexing problems in dentistry today is infection control.

The oral cavity is a sea of microorganisms normally living in balance with the entire human body. Under certain conditions pathogenic or "disease causing microorganisms can become the dominant life forms, thus creating what we call infection.

These pathogenic microorganisms live together in what is called a biofilm. This biofilm supports a mixed type of infection made up of bacteria, viruses, fungi and even parasites. The difficulty is that each of these "disease causing" types needs a different drug to eliminate its dominance.

What if we had an agent that could eliminate the infection and, in addition, support the surrounding healthy tissue without toxic side effects?
