  • Tooth Pain Causes and Treatment

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | December 08, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Dental Checkup , Family Dentistry , General Dentists

    https://www.verywellhealth.com/why-does-my-tooth-hurt-1059322

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    This is a generally concise, straight-forward summary of the various causes of tooth pain.

    I think it is important to clarify the "abscess" is when the tooth's nerve dies from any cause (a crack, an untreated cavity, gum disease, past trauma, and other reasons).

    https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/study-links-gum-disease-to-mental-health-conditions

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    A better title for this article would be "Studies link gum disease to multiple other overall health diseases not related to the mouth"!

  • Invisalign vs. Braces: Which Is the Better Option?

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | December 01, 2022 | Categories: Check Ups & X-rays , Clear Aligners , Invisalign , Mouthguards , Teeth Extraction

    https://www.verywellhealth.com/invisalign-vs-braces-5218916

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    This article would be more accurately titled “Clear aligners vs. Braces” as Invisalign is just one brand name (and the most well known) of clear aligner, though many exist since Invisalign started.

  • Periodontal disease: treatment

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | November 28, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Dental Checkup , Dental Services

    https://www.medbroadcast.com/channel/oral-care/oral-health-problems/periodontal-disease-treatment

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease that unfortunately has no cure: once you are diagnosed as having periodontal disease, it is a life-long diagnosis (like cardiovascular disease or diabetes) that we can manage and help get "stable" or into "remission", but it cannot be fully cured or reversed. It is a multifactorial disease with dry mouth (xerostomia), smoking, diabetes, and genetics being known to contribute to it's activity and severity.

  • Why use mouthwash?

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | November 24, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Dental Hygienist , Teeth Cleaning

    https://www.medbroadcast.com/channel/oral-care/oral-health-problems/why-use-mouthwash

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    As mentioned in the article, mouthwashes can do different things depending on what ingredients are in them: from doing some (very minor) whitening to helping combat cavities.

  • Pain Management

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | November 17, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Dental Hygienist , General Dentists , Oral Health

    https://www.cda-adc.ca/en/oral_health/talk/complications/pain_management/

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    It is very important to discuss your concerns about any pain or discomfort that may be related to a procedure with your dentist before starting.

  • Proper flossing techniques

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | November 10, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Dental Checkup , Oral Health , Teeth Cleaning

    Proper flossing techniques.jpg

    https://www.medbroadcast.com/channel/oral-care/oral-care/proper-flossing-techniques

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    As mentioned in the article, if you have not been regularly flossing, you may (should!) notice your gums bleeding during flossing. Unless you are pulling so hard you are hurting yourself, the bleeding is an indication of active gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis).

  • Permanent (Fixed) Retainers: Everything You Need to Know

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | October 20, 2022 | Categories: Dental Assistant , Dental Hygienist , General Dentists , Oral Health , Tooth Filling

    Permanent  Fixed Retainers Everything You Need to Know.jpg

    https://www.verywellhealth.com/permanent-retainer-5248591

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    The use of retainers after straightening your teeth (or to prevent teeth from getting more crooked, even if you don’t want to straighten them!) is very important to minimize “relapse” (the natural tendency of teeth to want to go back to the position they started from).

  • Gum Disease and Other Diseases

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | October 13, 2022 | Categories: Dental Assistant , Dental Care , Dental Checkup , Dental Hygienist

    Gum Disease and Other Diseases.jpg

    https://www.perio.org/for-patients/gum-disease-information/gum-disease-and-other-diseases/

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    An excellent, concise article! The key takeaway is: seeing your dentist (and hygienist) as frequently as they recommend is vital not only fit your oral health, but also for your overall health.

  • Jaw Clenching and Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | October 06, 2022 | Categories: Dental Assistant , Dental Care , Dental Services , Family Dentistry , General Dentists

    Jaw-Clenching-and-Teeth-Grinding-Bruxism.jpg

    https://www.cda-adc.ca/en/oral_health/talk/complications/bruxism/

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    Bruxism is a very complex topic, and though this article gives a nice, general overview there are a few points I would disagree with.
     
    (1) Bruxism includes any “non-functional” movement of your teeth. It includes both “grinding” and “clenching”.

  • Children: 5 tips to take good care of their small teeth

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | September 29, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Family Dentistry , General Dentists , Oral Health , Teeth Cleaning

    Children 5 tips to take good care of their small teeth.jpg

    https://www.brunet.ca/en/health/health-tips/dental-care-for-children/

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    An excellent overview of how to best take care of your child’s teeth!

    A key point to note: oral hygiene routines for children should include both tooth brushing and flossing. Toothbrushing should not only be monitored but a caregiver should be “re-brushing” or “pre-brushing” the child’s teeth with each toothbrushing session (twice a day!).

  • Gingivitis

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | September 22, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Dental Hygienist , Teeth Cleaning

    Gingivitis.jpg

    https://www.cda-adc.ca/en/oral_health/talk/complications/diseases/gingivitis.asp

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways: 

    Gingivitis is a very common disease but fortunately, it is reversible and “curable” - with proper care at home and by seeing your dentist as often as recommended! It is important for us to do our best to control gingivitis because we want to so what we can to prevent the progression to the more severe, irreversible, “incurable” form of gum disease called periodontitis (the loss of tooth-supporting bone).

  • Oral health for children

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | August 11, 2022 | Categories: Dental Assistant , Dental Checkup , General Dentists , Oral Health

    Oral-health-for-children.jpg

    https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/topics/oral-health/caring-your-teeth-mouth/children.html

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    Something I always like to stress to parents is - toothbrushing is not optional! It can be stressful and challenging while you and your little one are getting used to the routine. But it is important to view it as vital a part of your child’s hygiene routines as diaper changing and bathing. They may not like it, but it has to happen, and eventually they will at least tolerate it, if not enjoy it!

  • Tooth Troubles

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | August 04, 2022 | Categories: Dental Assistant , Dental Care , Dental Services , Oral Health

    Tooth-Troubles.jpg

    https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/dental-and-oral-health-services/tooth-troubles/

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    Any tooth or mouth concern should be looked at by a dentist as soon as possible- please seek out help immediately.

    In particular:

    - swelling: inside your mouth (along or below the gums, the roof of your mouth, under your tongue) or outside of your face can be signs of varying degrees of infection and need to be addressed urgently

  • Healthy teeth for children

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | July 28, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Dental Checkup , Dental Hygienist , General Dentists

    Healthy-teeth-for-children.jpg

    https://caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/healthy-living/healthy_teeth_for_children

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    This article is a great summary for all parents of infants and young children! A few key points are:

    (1) Your child's first visit to the dentist should occur by 12 months or within 6 months of eruption of the first tooth- whichever comes first.  We do not expect to see any issues, or even to necessarily be able to do a thorough (or minimal) examination or "cleaning", but we like to see children this young to help guide parents on how to take care of their child's teeth and get the baby used to the dental experience to make future visits as stress-free (and hopefully fun) as possible!

  • Tooth Contouring and Reshaping Tips

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | July 21, 2022 | Categories: Clear Aligners , Dental Services , General Dentists

    Tooth-Contouring-and-Reshaping-Tips.jpg

    https://www.verywellhealth.com/teeth-contouring-and-reshaping-5216070

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    Enameloplasty is meant to be a very conservative procedure and because the goal is to not remove so much enamel that the underlying dentin (the part of the tooth that has nerve endings) is exposed, there are not many indications for it.

  • What Is Conscious Sedation?

    Author: WHITE TOOTH DENTAL | June 08, 2022 | Categories: Dental Care , Sedation

    lightbox (14).jpg

    https://www.healthline.com/health/conscious-sedation

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    Concious sedation (whether minimal, moderate or deep) can be used for *any* dental treatment that you find causes you anxiety to think about- anything from regular dental cleanings up to extraction surgery and everything in between. There are potential risks involved in any kind of treatment, but if you are someone that dreads dental visits, enough to be preventing you from attending regular appointments or that cause you to lose sleep the night before, some level of sedation is a fantastic option to consider!

    White Tooth Dental Takeaways:

    Dental implants are one of the most exciting and life-changing innovations to happen in dentistry in recent history. They are the closest tool we have to replacing missing teeth with something as close to natural as possible.
