Baby Teeth

A child's primary teeth, sometimes called "baby teeth," are as important as the permanent adult teeth. Primary teeth typically begin to appear when a baby is between age six months and one year.

Flouride

For over fifty years, the Canadian Dental Association has continuously endorsed the fluoridation of community water supplies and the use of fluoride-containing products as safe and effective measures for preventing tooth decay.

Infection Control

You may not be aware that sterilization and other infection control precautions take place before your dental visit because many of these procedures occur in another area of the dental office.

Diagram of the Mouth

Teeth vary in size, shape and their location in the jaws. These differences enable teeth to work together to help you chew, speak and smile. They also help give your face its shape and form.

Oral Hygeine

The best way to remove decay-causing plaque is by brushing and cleaning between your teeth every day. Brushing removes plaque from the tooth surfaces.

Saliva

Saliva is like a bloodstream to the mouth. As does blood, saliva helps build and maintain the health of the soft and hard tissues. Saliva removes waste products and provides disease-fighting substances throughout the mouth, offering first line protection against microbial invasion or overgrowth that might lead to disease.
