</div>
<p>Proper oral hygiene is important not only for your appearance, but also for your overall health. Improper oral hygiene may lead to infection, gum disease, bone and tooth loss, circulation and cardiovascular disease, and even strokes.<br /> <br />
<strong>Why is cleaning part of good oral hygiene?</strong><br /> <br />
<br />
<strong>Oral Cancer</strong><br />
As part of the cleaning process, you are also screened for oral cancer, which is curable if diagnosed and treated early.<br /><br />
<br />
<strong>Gum Disease</strong><br />
If gum disease is diagnosed early, it can be reversed through treatment. Gum disease is caused by infection in the gum tissue and bone, eventually leading to tooth loss. Regular dental cleanings - and checkups - help to prevent gum disease.<br /><br />
<br />
<strong>Your Teeth</strong><br />
Regular dental cleanings, along with checkups, brushing, and flossing, are important to let you keep your own teeth for as long as possible, and helping you to maintain your normal chewing function and overall good health.<br /><br />
<br />
<strong>Good Physical Health</strong><br />
Heart attacks and strokes have recently been linked to gum disease, which in turn is often a result of poor oral hygiene. Periodic dental cleanings help to maintain healthy gums and teeth and may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.<br /><br />
<br />
<strong>Good Oral Health</strong><br />
During dental cleanings, the hygienist can let you know if you're maintaining good oral health, and make appropriate suggestions if you're not.<br /><br />
<br />
<strong>Early Detection of Dental Problems</strong><br />
Any possible problems can be detected during dental cleanings, allowing for proper and timely treatment. Minor problems such as cavities or early gum disease can be treated and do not have to become major problems.<br /><br />
<br />
<strong>Appearance</strong><br />
Most tobacco, coffee, and tea stains can be removed during cleanings. Your teeth are also polished and shined. The end result is a whiter, brighter smile - and a brighter you! <br /> <br />
As you can see, having your teeth examined and cleaned on a regular schedule is important for both your health and your appearance. If we haven't seen your smile in while, give us a call. We'd be happy to have you in our office to ensure that your smile is healthy and living up to its full potential!<br />

<h3>
A note from our new Practice Director...</h3>
I would like to thank Drs. Librach and Millman and the entire staff at Dentistry on Dundas, for giving me the opportunity to lead us into the future. This is a great place to work because of people who are employed here. I have always admired the dedication and work ethic of everyone but especially Nicole. She has been a mentor and friend to all of us. We are lucky to have Nicole staying on board, not just because of her great wit and homemade cheesecake, but for her immense experience and knowledge.<br />
<br />
I would also like to congratulate my co-workers Melanie and Natasha. They are strong choices to move into higher management with endless 'know-how' to offer. Natasha brings management experience and is highly organized. She graduated from Durham College's dental reception program in the spring of 2013 with honours. She is dedicated and shows enthusiasm with everything she takes on. Melanie graduated from dental assisting in 2003 and upgraded to Level II in 2006. She works in various areas of the practice with experience assisting in periodontal surgery, dental implants and oral surgery. Her initiative<span style="color: #6a6a6a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b> </b></span></span>and experience provide an abundance of knowledge in running the clinical area of our practice. As a team we will work well complimenting each other's strengths.<br />
<br />
For myself, I hope to bring positive leadership to the practice and encourage ongoing communication. Effective communication will help to foster good relationships to ensure we achieve our goals. I will continue with treatment coordinating, marketing and practice development.<br />
<br />
As a patient, you can continue to expect the highest level of professionalism and care at Dentistry on Dundas. As always, we are focused on you and your families.<br />
<br />

<ol>
<li><b>Dental Checkups Include Oral Cancer Screenings.</b><br><br>
Dental checkups include screenings for oral cancer, a serious oral disease of the mouth, lips, or throat. Like most cancers, it is treatable if detected early.<br><br></li>
<li><b>Gum (Periodontal) Disease Affects Your Overall Health.</b><br><br>
One of the principal causes of tooth loss; gum disease has also been linked to other diseases, such as diabetes. If detected early, it can be treated quite effectively.<br><br></li>
<li><b>Dental Cleanings and Checkups are Extremely Important to your Well-being.</b><br><br>
Your dentist wants to prevent problems before they happen - regular checkups and cleanings will help to maintain your teeth and gums.<br><br></li>
<li><b>Brush and Floss Twice Daily.</b><br><br>
This helps to prevent cavities by removing the plaque which causes tooth decay. This daily practice is extremely important in preventing gum disease.<br><br></li>
<li><b>Bad Breath.</b><br><br>
This could be the result of a dental problem. In most situations, there is a direct link between bad breath and a dental condition. Mouthwash will only mask the problem, not treat it.<br><br></li>
<li><b>Proper Nutrition is Important for Good Dental Health.</b><br><br>
High sugar levels combined with the bacteria in your mouth and may cause tooth decay and gum disease.<br><br></li>
<li><b>Dental Problems Do Not Get Better or Go Away Without Treatment.</b><br><br>
If your dentist recommends a treatment plan for you, ignoring it will not solve the problem.<br><br></li>
<li><b>A Root Canal is Not as Painful.</b><br><br>
Root canal treatments are sometimes necessary to save a tooth. Given today's technology, these treatments are often comfortable and can be anxiety free.<br><br></li>
<li><b>You Should Change Your Toothbrush Every Three Months.</b><br><br>
Bacteria from your teeth transfers to your toothbrush - if you have gum disease, the rate of this transfer increases. You must change your tooth brush to limit this transfer of bacteria.<br><br></li>
<li><b>Maintaining Good Dental Health is Easy.</b><br><br>
Brushing twice daily, flossing daily, having regular dental checkups and cleanings, and a proper diet leads to healthy teeth and gums!<br><br></li>
</ol>

<b>What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?</b><br />
You are likely hearing more about Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) as it is becoming more common and thanks to an increase in practitioners who are able to assist in the diagnosis. OSA can most easily be explained as the complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, leading to decreased breathing or episodes of no breathing at all. This happens because muscle tissues around the throat relax during sleep, covering the airway.<br />
<b>Who is likely to get it?</b><br />
<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4454867/">Research has shown that OSA is more likely to affect men than women</a>. More specifically, there is a higher risk for men who are overweight and middle aged or older. Regardless of age and gender, OSA prevalence is likely going to keep rising because of the increase in overweight individuals in affluent societies. The prevalence of OSA also depends on different facial structure, tongue volume and total upper airway soft tissue volume. It is not surprising for children to develop OSA symptoms due to anatomical features. At times, children are already at high risk before they have the chance to grow out of the symptoms.<br />
Negative effects<br />
OSA is not something that leads to immediate death, but it does have many ugly side effects. From a health standpoint, OSA increases the chance of high blood pressure and sudden heart attacks or strokes. It also leads to a pretty serious condition called hypoxia, which is a loss of oxygen supply to body tissues. From a functioning standpoint, those affected by OSA often have daytime fatigue, increasing comprehension issues, and an overall lower quality of life. Relationships with a bed partner also tend to be poorer due to loud snoring at night and/or gasping related to the closing and opening of the airways. Luckily, it's often our bed partners who notice the issue may be more than just snoring and alert us to seek an evaluation.
Another issue worth addressing is the increase in chances of car accidents by people with OSA. <a href="http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/medical-review/physicians.shtml">In Ontario, for example, the law requires all physicians to report patients who may be unfit to drive a vehicle due to medical reasons. If an individual is reported to have a clinical condition that is not under control, the Ministry of Transportation has the right to suspend the driver's license</a>.<br />
<b>Diagnosis</b><br />
Most people with OSA symptoms are referred by a doctor to do a polysomnogram for further evaluation. A <i>Polysomnogram</i>, also called an overnight sleep test, is a very effective way to detect OSA. <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/obstructive-sleep-apnea/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20352095">Overnight sleep tests are done at sleep clinics where licensed technicians monitor patients' heart rate, lungs, brain activity, blood oxygen levels, breathing patterns, and sleeping patterns throughout the whole night</a>. Patients can also choose to do the sleep test at home for a cost if they don't want to go to OHIP covered sleep clinics. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apnea%E2%80%93hypopnea_index">By the end of the test, an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is shown to represent the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour. An AHI lower than 5 indicates no OSA. AHI between 5 - 14 indicates mild OSA, 15 - 29 indicates moderate OSA and anything higher than 30 indicates severe OSA.</a><br />
<b>Treatment options</b><br />
Luckily, there are quite a few treatment options out there. For a more conservative option, patients can benefit from lifestyle changes such as weight loss and quitting smoking. Patients can consider using a CPAP machine that constantly keeps the airway open by blowing air through the passage. While CPAP is the golden treatment standard (especially for those with severe OSA), some people find it difficult to adapt to it.<br />
<br />
A more adaptable option is using a <b><a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/dental-snoring-appliance-in-whitby.html#content">dental appliance</a>.</b> These simple oral appliances are designed to open the airway when worn. There is no complete way to cure OSA. The most straightforward, yet invasive option is surgery such as Tonsillectomy and Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove tonsils and Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove and or remodel tissues in the throat. Both procedures are done to reduce the chances of airway blockage.<br />
To put everything into perspective, OSA is not a disease that will kill you instantly. However, its side effects can certainly drive you closer to it. If you are presented with OSA symptoms, it is important not to put them aside. Given the many treatment options available, it is worthwhile to speak to a dental or medical professional who can assist in screening and making a diagnosis.<br />

<p>We have talked about smoking tobacco and its consequences on oral health. Now with the legalization of cannabis in Canada, let’s discuss how its regular use affects your dental health.</p>
<p>Regular cannabis users usually have poorer oral health, which is evidenced by higher rates of tooth decay, missing teeth, inflamed gums, and cavities as compared to non-users.</p>
<p>Effects of cannabis on oral health:</p>
<ul>
<li>Xerostomia</li>
<p>Have you ever experienced the cotton-mouthed feeling when smoking pot? This means your mouth is dry due to lack of saliva. This oral condition of dry mouth is known as xerostomia, which is due to the reduced salivary flow. While under the influence of cannabis, the nervous system reacts by reducing the production of saliva.</p>
<p>This lack of saliva can create a whole range of problems. Saliva plays an important role for your healthy oral condition. It helps with breaking down food for easy intake, rinses your teeth and gums to remove food particles after meals, helps with rebuilding tissues, and provides disease fighting substances to keep your mouth healthy.</p>
<p>With the lack of saliva in the mouth, it eventually leads to cavities, as the enamel on the surface of your teeth becomes damaged, and teeth can appear worn and shorter, and extremely sensitive. Lack of saliva also causes bad breath.</p>
<li>Periodontal Disease</li>
<p>Cannabis use can lead to periodontitis, which is the inflammation of tissue around your teeth, causing shrinkage of gums and loosening of teeth. Apart from teeth and gums, regular cannabis use also damages other soft tissues in your mouth like lips, tongues, cheeks and the roof of your mouth.</p>
<li>Stained Teeth</li>
<p>It is not a surprise that heavy tobacco smokers have stained and yellow teeth. Heavy cannabis users also have similar teeth in appearance, with worn out gums, resulting in a not so 'pearly-white' smile.</p>
<li>Mouth Cancers</li>
<p>Abusing cannabis also creates a condition called cannabis stomatitis, which is the damaging of the lining of the mouth. This leads to sores that are painful to treat, and often don’t go away, and eventually take the form of oral cancers.</p>
</ul>
<p>As dentists, we recommend to avoid consuming cannabis as much as possible. If you are a regular cannabis smoker:</p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid using alcohol based mouthwashes as they dry your mouth.</li>
<li>If you are scheduled for a dental procedure, avoid cannabis at least one week prior to your procedure as epinephrine in anesthetics used for numbing, combined with high THC levels, and anxiety, can be life threatening.</li>
<li>There is an increased failure rate of a dental implant for you due to cannabis’s effect on new bone development and so this procedure may not be right for you.</li>
<li>You could use in-office teeth whitening procedures to improve the appearance and try to regain some of the whiteness of your teeth.</li>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How our team of Dentists, Specialists and <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/itero-scanner-whitby.html">Digital Dentistry</a> restored Etelka's smile and dental function.</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Etelka grew up in Europe and had a lot of dental work as a child. After moving to Canada, she had further extensive dental procedures throughout her adult life, then came to <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/index.html">Dentistry on Dundas</a> in 2016. She was quite frustrated and self conscious about her oral condition and was committed to making a permanent change. This would include a multifaceted collection of procedures including periodontal surgery, Root canal therapy, orthodontics, fillings, <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/dental-implants-in-whitby.html#content">dental implants</a> and <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/dental-crowns-in-whitby.html#content">crowns</a>.
This was done by various specialists, including myself, Dr. Dana Levy, Periodontist and Dr. Mark Librach providing <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/orthodontics-in-whitby.html#content">orthodontics</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<strong>1. Why was Etelka a good candidate for these procedures?</strong>
She was an excellent candidate for this lengthy and comprehensive treatment plan.
She was ready, eager and committed to creating an oral state of health which was aesthetically pleasing.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<strong>2. What were her biggest concerns about the procedure?</strong>
Etelka had many concerns. She wanted to keep all her existing teeth and replace all missing teeth with implants. She did not want her upper anterior bridge any longer; for there was food impaction and she did not like the way it looked. She had an extremely "high demanding" job in downtown Toronto and wanted only evening appointments.

<strong>3. How did you develop a plan for treating Etelka’s concerns?</strong>
Etelka's concerns were rather challenging but definitely not impossible. There were compromises to be made and the main one was that the course of treatment was going to be lengthy and extensive. The treatment plan was devised with our team of professionals and specialists. There was a specific order of procedures that was essential to follow to ensure the best possible results.

<strong>4. Was her treatment out of the ordinary?</strong>
The treatment was not out of the ordinary. All aspects of her treatment were quite routine. The challenge was that almost every tooth had to be treated or retreated.
This was superimposed with a difficult "bite" that had to be corrected with braces.
It was, therefore, all "ordinary", however, just a lot of timely "ordinary" work.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<strong>5. How long did Etelka’s transformation take?
</strong>The entire course of treatment was approximately two and a half years.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<strong>6. What steps do these procedures involve?</strong>
The order of steps was very important. Initially, there were various consultations, x-rays and exams in the different disciplines. Periodontal and restorative were necessary first.
This would include cleaning, pocket reduction, fillings and extractions of hopeless teeth.
Bone grafts were placed in those areas to prepare for implants. Lower braces were then placed to upright the teeth to create a more favorable bite to ensure the implants and crowns were in the correct positions. After the bone grafts healed for approximately 4 months, the implants were placed and also had to heal for a subsequent 4 months.
Finally, all the crowns were placed.

<strong>7. Is there an ideal candidate for these procedures?</strong>
The ideal patient for this full mouth reconstruction must be committed emotionally, physically and must put in the time. Most patients have partial treatment of this kind or just a few procedures of this nature which is rather quick and routine.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<strong>8. Are there any at-home steps patients should follow after procedures like these?
</strong>Once any treatment of any kind is completed, it is up to the patient to maintain a healthy and regular regime of home care with excellent oral hygiene, and also return for regular maintenance visits to the dental office. Quite often a night guard is recommended to protect the teeth from wear and keep the jaw in a good state.

<strong>9.What advice would you give those debating whether or not to get dental surgery?</strong>
I would recommend that anyone who wants to make a change for the better regarding any aspect of their health, to investigate all options and find the doctor that is right for them. In most cases, there is nothing more rewarding than watching a patient look in the mirror and seeing the look on their faces when they see the reveal!</span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">For our patient Etelka we provided different forms of treatment which included overall thorough Periodontal therapy which would provide a healthy foundation for all future prosthetic treatment. Among those treatments were included: deep cleaning of the gum pockets, antibiotic therapy, home care and physiotherapy, regeneration of advanced bone loss, extraction of teeth that were deemed non-treatable as a result of either decay or Periodontal (gum) disease.</span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><strong style="background-color: transparent;">6.

What advice would you give those debating whether or not to get dental surgery? </strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">I</span>n order for patients to commit to complex care, it’s important to measure patients desires, objectives and realistic outcomes. Overall, wanting to achieve a beautiful smile and proper function, will require time commitment and perseverance as well as the knowledge that what took many years to occur, will not be resolved in one or two appointments. However, the ultimate result will far outweigh the hard work on behalf of their dentists and dental specialists and of course the hard work of each and everyone of our patients.</span></span></div>

<p>When you enjoy ice cream do you fear the sharp pain that may accompany the chocolate flavour? Ice cream, cold or hot drinks and foods are luxuries that some people can't simply enjoy if their teeth are sensitive to temperature. </p>
<p><em>Dentin hypersensitivity</em> is caused by stimulation of cells located in the dentin (the layer under your tooth enamel which can become exposed through wear and tear or dental maladies). When this happens, eating and drinking hot or cold foods and beverages, touching your teeth, often even exposing them to cold air can be painful.</p>
<p>We have options that will allow you to enjoy all of your favourite foods.</p>
<p>If your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold, book an appointment for a diagnostic evaluation and to rule out more serious problems such as a cavity or abscess. If you have dentin hypersensitivity, we may seal the sensitive area or for less severe cases you may be prescribed a special fluoride gel or told to use one of several over-the-counter toothpastes for sensitive teeth containing potassium nitrate or strontium chloride.</p>
<p>If you have any apprehension with hot or cold foods, call our office today for a consultation, then stop for an ice cream on the way home, you'll be glad you did.</p>Dentistry on Dundashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15135040711198267269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095609086402032544.post-69703231661470278022018-08-15T09:51:00.000-07:002018-08-15T09:51:54.936-07:007 Ways to Help Prevent Tooth Decay, Gum Disease, & Dental Health Problems

<p><em><b>An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.</b></em><br>
Proper dental prevention and regular check-ups are your best bet for a healthier, pain free, beautiful smile. But how? Isn't brushing and flossing regularly enough? <em>You do floss regularly, right!?!?</em></p>
<p>No sweat, we're here to help! Here are 7 ways to help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, & dental health problems.</p>
<h2>Invest In an Electric Toothbrush</h2>
<p>Manual toothbrushes can only clean your teeth so much. Electric toothbrushes are a popular and beneficial alternative to get a deep clean in order to prevent oral health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. A few options for electric toothbrushes are Sonicare or Oral B which have replaceable brush heads.</p>
<p>Tips For Using an Electric Toothbrush:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Press lightly</b> when brushing - you don't need to put too much pressure with an electric toothbrush.</li>
<li><b>Clean brush heads</b> by running it under water or rinsing it with mouthwash to avoid bacteria from building up.</li>
<li><b>Replace the brush heads regularly,</b> especially when the bristles are out of shape or discoloured.</li>
<li><b>Talk to your dentist and hygienist</b> about any questions or concerns you may have about electric toothbrushes. They'll provide you with all the information you need!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Floss!</h2>
<p>You shouldn't miss this step because flossing helps remove any extra debris that a toothbrush can't reach. Flossing daily with a proper technique will reduce your chances for cavities, gum disease and will improve your oral health overall. Ask your dentist and hygienist on good flossing techniques to ensure you're doing the most you can for your teeth.</p>
<h2>Choose Foods & Beverages Thoughtfully</h2>
<p>Your choices of food and beverages also play a large role in your dental health and in preventing health issues such as tooth decay.</p>
<p><b>Avoid Foods & Drinks That Are:</b>
<ul>
<li>Sugary - Foods and drinks that are high in sugar, especially fruit juices are not healthy choices for your teeth and gums.</li>
<li>Acidic - Beverages that are high in acidity like soda and coffee can have adverse effects such as demineralization and tooth decay.</li>
<li>Sticky - Dried fruits like raisins or prunes are perceived as healthy, but these sugary snacks can get stuck and damage your teeth.</li>
</ul></p>
<p><b>Choose Foods & Drinks Like:</b>
<ul>
<li>Leafy Greens - Spinach, broccoli, kale</li>
<li>High-Fiber Fruits and Veggies</li>
<li>Nuts like Almonds and Legumes</li>
<li>Unsweetened coffee and tea</li>
</ul></p>
<h2>Rinse Regularly</h2>
<p>Rinsing your mouth with fresh water can be more beneficial than brushing your teeth after every meal. When consuming foods or beverages with high acidity, it weakens the tooth enamel. Brushing right after can be detrimental, as the tooth is weakened after being in contact with high acidity food/drinks. Therefore, gently rinsing your mouth with water is a safer alternative. In addition, alcohol-free mouthwash freshens your breath. It is less harsh than mouthwashes that contain alcohol which can lead to dry mouth and gum disease.</p>
<h2>Make Health a Priority in Your Life</h2>
<p>Your dental health is influenced by your overall physical health and wellness, so it's important to take care of your whole body. For instance, untreated gum disease is directly linked to heart disease, diabetes, and many other chronic health issues. Speaking and visiting your dentist regularly can help with preventing health problems as well as identifying the early stages of oral cancers and other issues through non-invasive preventive screenings during your dental exams.</p>
<h2>Take a Proactive Approach to Treatment</h2>
<p>A proactive approach will help prevent oral health issues such as tooth decay, gum disease and keep your body healthy long-term. Don't wait to treat health issues when they are intolerable, especially when it comes to aches, pains, and other uncomfortable symptoms.</p>
<p>Schedule regular dental checkups and appointments with your doctor. Prevention is generally an easier process than treatment. For instance, cavities that are caught early will have more treatment options and will be a less-invasive approach.</p>
<h2>Listen To Your Body</h2>
<p>Remember to take the warning signs of dental health problems seriously. Seek help if you're suffering from:</p>
<ul>
<li>Headaches when waking up</li>
<li>Poor sleep</li>
<li>Red, bleeding, swollen, or irritated gums</li>
<li>Pain when biting or chewing</li>
<li>Sensitivity to hot or cold foods</li>
<li>Chronic bad breath</li>
</ul>
<p>Even if these symptoms seem minor in the beginning, it may lead to serious health issues in the future. Remember to schedule dental checkups regularly!</p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;">Cheryl was very motivated and considered all treatment alternatives. She wanted to correct her smile but when presented with the treatment plan that was based on the protection of her front teeth by building strong back teeth, she took to the idea.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Records are always critical to the creation of a treatment plan that is customized to our patients needs. Comprehensive photos, models and X-rays are critical in presentation to the patient, other adjunctive professionals and our lab technicians.

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;">There really is no such thing as “ordinary treatment”. Every case presents with complexities that are unique to that case. In this case, the posterior teeth were in rough shape due to erosion and bruxism( grinding).</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;">For most patients with extensive dental care we recommend the use of a night guard to protect the teeth and the dental work at night time. This decreases wear and tear and protects her teeth while the patient sleeps. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Meagan is an excellent example of how </span><a href="https://myobrace.com/en-au/what-is-myobrace" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">myofunctional orthodontics</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
can transform a patients bite and profile. Meagan's bite is what we consider a
class III malocclusion. In simple terms a class III malocclusion is an
underbite where the bottom teeth overlap the top teeth. Megan had seen several
dentists who had recommended to her that this problem could only be corrected
through orthognathic surgery. This type of surgery is very invasive and
requires a hospital stay of two days followed by a recovery time of several
weeks where her mouth would need to be wired shut. </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Megan‘s parents were hesitant to go forward with the surgery.</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> I offered them a treatment plan that would require her to wear and appliance every evening while she slept plus 2 hours per day. </span><br />

As you can see in the photos her teeth are now in a very good class one relationship and her profile has improved dramatically. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Megan will need to continue to wear her appliance for two years while sleeping.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A treatment plan was developed with the help of our lab technician <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/Cosmetic_Dentistry.htm">Jonathan Murisac</a> and our periodontist <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/About_Dr_Levy.htm">Dr. Dana Levy</a>. Prior to treatment we created a wax mock-up of her smile in order to correct her concerns. Once the patient was able to visualize the changes we could make to her smile, she accepted going ahead with this treatment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The transformation was completed over a month of treatment. We started off by placing temporary veneers to correct the position of the gingival tissue and to create a symmetric smile. Once the patient was satisfied with the cosmetic result we then replaced the temporaries was permanent veneers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are many potential patients that could benefit from this type of treatment. This is a relatively non-invasive treatment that can correct crooked misaligned teeth without orthodontic treatment. As you can see by the photos the cosmetic result was excellent. Both myself and the patient extremely pleased with the final results. </span><br />

discolouration or a pitted appearance on a tooth, it is actually diagnosed by
feel using a sharp instrument called an explorer. Decay will present
itself as a “sticky” pit on a tooth when examined with a dental explorer.
In addition, dental x-rays can help diagnose decay in areas our instruments
can’t reach, specifically the surfaces between teeth.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

includes brushing at least twice a day. The most important time for brushing is
right before bed. The second most important time is right after breakfast
in the morning. This applies to adults as well. Flossing 2-3 times a week
is also important. Parents should be active participants in their child’s
oral health. They should promote the child’s attempt to brush their own
teeth and fill in the gaps for a thorough cleaning. When it comes to
flossing, the duty will fall to the parents. Parents should also lead by
example by taking care of their own oral health in front of their children.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

start immediately after a tooth erupts in the mouth so oral hygiene must start
immediately. At first, baby teeth can be cleaned with a clean damp terry
cloth. As the child matures, a specifically designed baby toothbrush can be
used.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

completely preventable tragedy that is brought on by lack of oral health
education. It is most commonly caused by infants being put to sleep with
baby bottles that contain milk or juice. As the child pacifies itself
with the nipple on the bottle, the acidity form the juice or milk bathes the
teeth breaking down the enamel and causing rampant decay.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

derived from the earths crust. It is sometimes naturally found in water
supplies but many jurisdictions have added fluoride to drinking water as a
matter of public health to help prevent tooth decay. It is also found in foods
and is the main cavity-preventing ingredient in toothpastes. In addition,
your dentist may include topical fluoride treatments as part routine oral care
appointments for children. Fluorides in all these forms help decrease the
incidence of cavities.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

to teeth to help prevent cavities. If required, they are usually applied
to the first adult molars that erupt at age six, but can also be applied to
molars that erupt at age 12 also. The determination of whether to place
sealants takes into consideration the cavity history of the child and the
“grooviness” of the teeth. A child that has a history of several cavities
in their baby teeth and has “groovy” teeth is a prime candidate for sealants.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Why was JP a good candidate for these procedures?</span> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">JP was a great candidate because he had healthy gum tissues free of </span><a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/Perio_Plastic_Surgery.htm" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">periodontal disease</a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, specific treatment goals and excellent home care and compliance. </span><br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. How did you develop a plan for treating JP's concerns?</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Understanding the specific concerns of JP was essential to a positive outcome. JP was unhappy with the </span><a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/Dental_Anaesthesia.htm" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">appearance</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> his existing teeth restorations (an older </span><a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/crowns.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">crown</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> on one lateral incisor and a large composite resin restoration on the other). JP wanted to enhance his smile without appearing unnatural.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3. Was his treatment out of the ordinary?</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">JP’s treatment was not out of the ordinary. Our goal was to be as conservative and cost effective as possible. Multiple treatment options were recommended but together we came up with a plan that met his specific functional and esthetic concerns after evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of all treatment options.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4. How long did JP's transformation take?</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The total transformation took under 2 months. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5. What steps do these procedures involve? </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our first step was the assessment of JP’s overall and oral health; because he attends his regular check up and hygiene appointments there were no unexpected complications. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next step was to fabricate customized home bleaching trays to improve the shade of JP’s teeth and smile. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After the optimal shade was achieved we gently removed his previously existing restorations, d</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">igitally scanned the tooth preparations and produced lab fabricated restorations. This helped restore JP’s teeth to their natural shape and size, strengthen his teeth and enhance his overall appearance. </span></div>

In addition proper brushing and flossing techniques are always recommended.</span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #990000;">1) Why was Jim a good candidate for these procedures?</span></strong></div>

Jim was an excellent candidate for a <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/bridges.html">porcelain bridge</a> replacing the upper two anterior incisors.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12.8px/normal arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
He had a removable denture for many years which served him well. At this point of his life, he was ready to have something that felt and looked more natural. His biting forces were not excessive in this area as well, rendering it an excellent position for a bridge.<br />

<strong><span style="color: #990000;">2) How did you develop a plan for treating Jim's concerns?</span></strong></div>

Jim wanted an alternative restoration to replace his anterior teeth for quite some time. He wanted something more comfortable and more "natural" looking. Many options were discussed, including implants. After considering timing and finances, he chose a fixed bridge.<br />

It was simply two appointments. The first was 90 minutes, the second was 45 minutes.</div>

During the first appointment, the patient is given a small amount of local anesthetic. The teeth are prepared and scanned with a special computer to create a model whereby the bridge is made. He leaves the first appointment with temporary restorations on the prepared teeth. At the next and final appointment, the bridge is permanently cemented with no anesthetic.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12.8px/normal arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

Jim should practice excellent oral hygiene and visit the dental office for regular follow up recall cleaning appointments. For this particular bridge, as any, the patient is shown how to clean and floss with a special floss threader required for bridge work.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Martin's teeth were badly broken down. Through many years of wear and tear from grinding, Martin's teeth were now wider than they were long.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Since Martin's teeth were edge to edge with no overlap, just placing new crowns or veneers were impossible. Something had to be done to get some space between his incisors.</span></div>

</span>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">In order to get some space we had to use orthodontics to move teeth.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Instead of standard braces we used<span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/Orthodontics.htm"><span style="color: red;">invisalign</span></a> to open the bite to accommodate the crowns he would need from canine to canine. This took about two years to accomplish.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">We used bonding along the way to mock up his teeth to a comfortable bite and aesthetically pleasing position. Once Martin was comfortable, his final crowns were placed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The results are spectacular!!</span><br />

This patient presented with an advanced chronic Periodontal infection which required many steps in order to achieve healthy tissues and improve her overall health.<br />
<div>
The fundamental basis of implant treatment is to make sure that the overall condition of the patients mouth is absolutely healthy. Otherwise, we can compromise the health and longevity of implant and prosthetic treatment. After treating the Periodontal disease and achieving a stable and healthy condition of the patients gums,then we proceeded with planning for the replacement and rehabilitation of the missing teeth.</div>

The front teeth required removal as they were too compromised to keep them and treat them periodontally. The patient knew this from the outset and she also knew that the ultimate replacement will be done with an implant supported fixed prosthesis.</div>
<div>
Once her teeth were extracted in the upper front, a bone graft was placed in order to maintain and regenerate her jaw bone which would provide an adequate anatomical area to place two implants. We allowed a period of 6 months of healing from the time of tooth extraction, bone grafting and implant placement.</div>
<div>
A cone beam CT scan was done at the 6 month period and a virtual implant surgery was done in order to make a custom surgical guide. This guide was used during surgery I. Order to place the implants in he exact position required for this particular case.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In the spirit of education, awareness and donations for ALS, Dr. Steven Millman nominated Dr. Mark Librach to an ice bucket fundraising duel. In an effort to raise more donations we switched it up a little and collected donations over the past three weeks and the challenge was for one doctor to raise more than the other to be spared the <a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/als2.html">ice bucket dumping</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are pleased to announce we raised in total $2026.00 for ALS research and our fundraising duel was very close. Dr. Millman did raise $23.00 more in donations and therefore Dr. Librach accepted the ice bucket challenge.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">Thomas was the ideal candidate for this
procedure as he was missing multiple front teeth, was in good general and oral
health, and had been wearing a removable prosthesis for years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">The chief complaint was his desire to have
his teeth look and feel just like his own. His current removable denture relied
on support from his adjacent natural teeth, and did not preserve the underlying
jawbone. Dental Implants are able to preserve the underlying bone and improve
comfort, aesthetics, and function without compromising the adjacent teeth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">The treatment is ordinary, but requires a
multidisciplinary approach. Since dental implants are closely connected with
gum tissues and the underlying bone in the mouth, Dr. Levy, our periodontist
was an expert in this area. It was important that we worked together to ensure
the best results. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="http://www.dentistryondundas.com/implants.html">dental implant</a> is someone in good overall health, with healthy gum tissues and
with adequate bone in their jaw to support an implant. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is important to care for your dental
implants like you would your natural teeth. Regular home care with toothbrush
and floss is advised as well as regular dental checkups to ensure the bite is
correct and that the implants are not loose. A nightguard may be recommended
for patients who clench or grind their teeth.</span><br />
