🦷 Sunday Dental Fun Fact!

Let’s finish the year with a smile upgrade! 😁

Did you know that porcelain veneers began evolving in the 20th century as a way to correct chipped, discolored, or uneven teeth? What started as a temporary Hollywood fix turned into one of the most popular tools in cosmetic dentistry.

Modern veneers are thin, strong, and natural-looking, designed to transform your smile while keeping your teeth healthy underneath.

At Harbour Place Dental, we love helping patients feel confident — whether it’s a small fix or a full smile makeover. 💫

You deserve to step into the new year smiling brighter than ever!

🦷 Healthy Smiles Start Before Birth! 🌞

Did you know that a mom’s vitamin D levels during pregnancy may play an important role in her child’s dental health years later? A recent study highlighted by MedicalXpress found that higher maternal vitamin D during pregnancy is associated with a lower risk of early childhood tooth decay—a condition that affects millions of children worldwide.

🧒 Why this matters:
Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most common chronic conditions in young children. It can lead to pain, difficulty eating, infections, speech challenges, and even missed school days. Preventing cavities early can make a lifelong difference in a child’s overall health and confidence.

🦷 How vitamin D helps developing teeth:
Tooth development begins during pregnancy—well before the first baby tooth appears. Vitamin D plays a vital role by:
• Supporting calcium and phosphate balance
• Helping form strong enamel
• Aiding natural remineralization once teeth erupt

Researchers found that vitamin D receptors are active in the very cells responsible for building teeth, showing just how connected prenatal nutrition and oral health really are.

🧪 About the study:
The research followed more than 4,000 mother–child pairs and measured vitamin D levels during each trimester. Children were later examined for tooth decay. Results showed consistently lower odds of cavities when maternal vitamin D levels were higher, especially during the second and third trimesters.

🧭 What this means for families:
Maintaining healthy vitamin D levels during pregnancy—often recommended at 30 ng/mL or higher—may offer another layer of protection for a child’s future smile. While this study was observational, it adds to growing evidence that prevention truly starts early.

At Harbour Place Dental, we believe in proactive, family-focused care—because healthy habits today help build brighter smiles tomorrow. 💙

🦷 Dental Q&A of the Week 🦷

Q: Is it OK to skip flossing if I brush really well?
A: We get this one a lot—and the answer is no.

Flossing cleans between your teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. Skipping floss means you're leaving behind plaque and bacteria that lead to gum disease and cavities. It only takes a minute a day, and your gums will thank you for it!

🦷 Sunday Dental Fun Fact!

Let’s go back to 1895, when physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered something revolutionary — the X-ray! ⚡🩻

Shortly after, dentists began using this amazing technology to see beneath the surface of teeth and bone. Dental X-rays allowed us to detect hidden decay, infections, and bone loss — all before they became serious problems.

Today’s X-rays are faster, safer, and more detailed than ever. At Harbour Place Dental, we use them as a vital part of your dental checkup to keep your smile healthy and strong from the inside out!

Isn’t it amazing what a quick snapshot can reveal?

🦷 New Hope for Patients with Severe Bone Loss

For patients with advanced jawbone atrophy, being told they’re “not a candidate” for dental implants can be discouraging. New research highlighted by DrBicuspid suggests a promising alternative worth discussing with your dentist.

A recent scoping review examined CAD-CAM subperiosteal implants (SPIs) used to support fixed partial restorations in patients with severe bone loss—cases where traditional implants often require extensive bone grafting.

🔍 What the research found
Across 7 studies involving 96 patients and 121 implants, CAD-CAM SPIs demonstrated a weighted mean survival rate of 99.17% over 1–4 years of follow-up.
• Maxilla (upper jaw): 98.77% survival
• Mandible (lower jaw): 100% survival
Only one failure was reported, occurring in a heavy smoker. Notably, no failures were seen in implants followed for more than three years.

⚙️ Complications were relatively low
• Biological complications: 4.13%
• Mechanical complications: 7.44% (such as implant instability or restoration adjustments)

💡 Why this matters
CAD-CAM subperiosteal implants may offer a reliable option for patients with severe bone atrophy who want to avoid lengthy, invasive bone grafting procedures. These custom-designed implants can potentially shorten treatment time and reduce surgical complexity—while still providing stable, fixed restorations.

⚠️ What to keep in mind
Researchers note that current studies involve small patient numbers, and more long-term comparative research is needed. That said, the results are encouraging for patients previously told they had limited options.

At Harbour Place Dental, we believe informed patients make confident decisions. If you’ve been told bone loss limits your implant options, a personalized evaluation may reveal newer solutions worth considering.

🦷 Dental Myth vs. Fact 🦷

❌ Myth: Flossing creates gaps between your teeth.

✅ Fact: Flossing does not create gaps — it actually helps prevent gum disease and preserves healthy gum tissue.

When people first start flossing, gums that are inflamed or swollen may bleed or look like they’re “pulling back.” In reality, flossing removes plaque and bacteria between teeth, allowing gums to heal, tighten, and become healthier over time.

Skipping floss lets plaque build up where your toothbrush can’t reach, increasing the risk of gum disease, bad breath, and even tooth loss.

👉 Daily flossing is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile for life.

Have questions about proper flossing techniques or gum health? We’re always happy to help!

🦷 Your Gum Health Matters More Than You Think! 🧠

Did you know that severe gum disease might be linked to an increased risk of pancreatic cancer? A new study published in BMC Oral Health suggests that people with periodontitis — a severe form of gum disease — may have connections to systemic inflammation that could influence pancreatic cancer risk.
DrBicuspid.com

Researchers analyzed health data from over 400,000 patients. They found patterns indicating that older adults and men with periodontal disease showed higher rates of pancreatic cancer compared with those without gum disease. While the overall increased risk wasn’t dramatically higher across all groups, specific subgroups — especially adults over age 45 — showed much stronger associations.
DrBicuspid.com

Why does this matter? Gum disease isn’t just a local issue in your mouth. The inflammation and harmful bacteria associated with periodontal disease can affect your whole body, potentially contributing to serious systemic health conditions. 🍃

👉 What can you do?
✔ Schedule regular dental cleanings and periodontal check-ups
✔ Brush and floss daily
✔ Address any signs of gum disease early — like bleeding gums, swelling, or persistent bad breath

At Harbour Place Dental, we’re committed to helping you keep your smile healthy — and supporting your overall wellness too. 🪥💪

Early detection and treatment of gum disease may do more than protect your smile — it could help support your long-term health. Let’s work together to manage inflammation and maintain a healthy mouth and body!
