Holiday Greetings...And all the best!

The holiday season is here, and with it a chance for all of us to give all of you a heartfelt thanks for your loyalty and friendship during the past year.

As the New Year draws closer, many of us are inspired by our anticipation of everything a new beginning can offer. This is the time of year when each of us considers how we can make the coming year the best that it can be.

We intend to make this New Year our personal and professional best by continuing to provide you with leading-edge dental care in an atmosphere that is as warm, relaxed, and as welcoming as we can make it.

Our entire practice team hopes your holidays are happy, healthy, and filled with family and friends.

Have a wonderful holiday,

Dr. Aaron Tait, Dr. Janet Bailey Dr. Ron Buckley andDr. Nicola Buckley

Hide ‘N’ Seek With SugarA game you can win!

It’s no mystery that sugar resides in treats like candies, pastries, and soft drinks, but did you know that it’s also hiding in foods like breads, dressings, and lunch meats?

Most processed foods contain hidden sugar. Check the labels on chip bags, cracker boxes, and even low-fat packaged foods, and if an ingredient ends in “ose” (e.g. dextrose) or if the word “syrup” appears (e.g. corn syrup), it’s sugar.

Without proper oral care, sugar can lead to cavities and gum disease, and a high intake can cause obesity and an increased risk for heart disease and type-2 diabetes. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends a maximum of just 6-9 teaspoons of sugar a day – about the amount in one can of soda!

We can’t avoid sugar altogether, but armed with knowledge and willpower, we can reduce our intake for the sake of our mouth and our health!

Whether young, old, or somewhere in between, things do happen that can damage your smile. Probably the most devastating to appearance, self-esteem, and lifestyle, is the loss of teeth. Whether caused by sports injuries, wear and tear, or gum disease, missing teeth do need to be replaced to prevent a myriad of other issues down the road.

The good news is that modern crowns and bridges look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They’re durable and easy to care for, plus they’re definitely more attractive than gaps in your smile!

Benefits of Crowns Shaped and colored like natural

teeth, crowns cover decayed or damaged teeth or replace lost teeth. When secured by an implant, jawbone loss (which occurs when teeth are lost) is arrested.

Benefits of Bridges

Usually attached to your existing teeth, bridges support the replacement of one or more missing teeth with beautiful and durable artificial teeth. They alleviate stress in your bite and prevent shifting of teeth adjacent to the gap.

no matter what your age, crowns and bridges can improve your quality of life. they restore your natural bite, preserve the shape of your face, make you look and feel attractive, and allow you to

enjoy all the foods and activities you love! Call us today, and let’s discuss what’s best for you!

We schedule tuneups for our precious car. But why do some people skip dental checkups that maintain their precious smile?

Men are almost 50% less likely than women to maintain regular checkups, increasing risk for…

1. Periodontal disease – Men are 26% less likely to floss and are more likely to miss cleaning appointments even though poor oral care is linked to life-threatening diseases.

2. oral Cancer – Tobacco users risk oral cancer. Men are twice as likely to be affected than women, yet they often skip checkups that include essential oral cancer screening.

3. dental injuries – More often socialized to take physical risks, males are more likely to suffer face trauma. Wearing a mouthguard is essential during body-contact sports.

It’s important that everyone – male or female – practices good oral care and has regular checkups to protect their precious smile!

Look and feel youngerIt’s true that exercise makes us feel younger and more

vibrant, and as an added bonus, it also makes us look younger. Research shows that regular activity affects us on a cellular level, slowing, and even reversing, the external and internal effects of time. Even the simplest exercises, like taking a walk or a casual bike ride, are effective.

Are you sure your smile reflects your youthful spirit? Let us help with simple rejuvenating procedures that can even be done in just a visit or two!

n Whitening: Dentist-controlled systems are customized for your unique needs and will make natural teeth look their brightest.

n Replacement Fillings: Unsightly silver-colored fillings can be replaced with attractive white composite ones for a healthy, attractive, and uniform smile.

n VeneeRs: Porcelain veneers can cover the front of stained, damaged, and uneven teeth, perfecting their color, shape, appearance, and alignment.

n Bonding: Cover teeth with a beautiful white resin to reshape, repair damage, and fill in unattractive gaps.

With exercise and a healthy lifestyle, we can delay the effects of ageing. With modern dentistry, we can always make your smile look as young as you feel!
