If you’ve ever wondered why the roof of your mouth has such an interesting texture, we’re here to share the hard (and soft) truth.

People who floss regularly benefit from healthier teeth and gums, fewer cavities, and fresher breath. It’s easy to make flossing a regular habit and it doesn’t always have to be done at bedtime, just once per day. Floss while watching TV or listening to music, or even in the shower!

Babies have a natural sucking reflex. They often suck on their fingers and thumbs because it makes them feel safe and secure. Some babies will also suck their thumbs to soothe themselves, especially when they are going to sleep.

Thumbsucking can cause changes to a baby’s jaws and skeletal structure before their permanent teeth start to erupt. Most children stop sucking their thumbs between the ages of two and four with minimal impact on their permanent teeth. If children continue sucking their thumb after their permanent teeth begin to erupt, their teeth may become misaligned and they may need braces or orthodontic treatment.

We can help parents encourage and guide their children to stop sucking on their own so they can enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Happy Halloween to our spook-tacular patients! Remember to brush and floss well after enjoying those goodies you may have filched from your child’s trick-or-treat bag. (We won’t tell.)

Got a toothache? Here are a few things you can try to get some relief from the pain while you wait to see your dentist.

Try rinsing your mouth with warm water and flossing between your teeth to dislodge any food particles that may be causing the discomfort. If the tooth has been injured, try applying a cold compress on your face near the area. You may also get relief with over-the-counter pain medications taken as directed. Do NOT place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum as it will cause a chemical burn and will not help your toothache.

Call us right away at (905) 579-0709 if you develop any of these symptoms: the toothache becomes more severe, there are signs of infection such as inflammation, swelling, and redness in the area, you develop a fever, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing.

A frozen puck or stray elbow to the mouth can end a game fast. A custom sports guard from Durham Kids Dentistry is the best protection against injuries. Call us at (905) 579-0709 to learn more.

Parents should start to floss their child’s teeth when they have two teeth that are touching — usually when they are two or three years old. We can help children and parents learn the best and safest ways to floss teeth. Flossing your child’s teeth helps your child develop good oral health habits from an early age.

Accidents happen. The most important thing to remember when someone has broken a tooth is not to panic.

First, take a look around for the tooth. If it’s an adult tooth, and it’s clean and whole, place it back in the empty socket. If you can’t place it back in the mouth, keep the missing tooth moist by packing it in milk or saliva. If it’s a baby tooth, bring it along to the dental office just in case we need to see it.

Next — call us! Let us know what happened and we’ll get you in as soon as we can. If for some reason you can’t get through to us, then head to the emergency room and call us for a follow-up appointment.

There’s a connection between excessive gum chewing and headaches, according to a recent study on kids and teens that chewed gum between one and six hours a day. Many participants saw improvement with their chronic headaches when stopping their daily habit. Still, we recommend spitting out your gum once the flavour is gone.

Carrots are a great snack for teeth. Their natural crunch helps produce saliva, which can wash away bacteria. Plus, carrots are loaded with vitamin A and keratin to help build enamel and keep gums healthy. So be sure to pack carrots in your lunch bag for a quick, healthy option.
