While bleeding gums are common, it is not OK.

When you have healthy gums they will not bleed, so bleeding gums mean that you have an infection or inflammation of some type.

• There are several different possibilities why your gums may be bleeding:
• You have traumatised the area with excessive or harsh treatment
• You have an inflammation caused by bacteria
• You have other health issues

Certain serious medical conditions or medications you take as part of treatment will cause your gums to bleed.

It is difficult to detect which of these things is most likely the cause of your bleeding gums. Even if you are taking medications, it’s still possible for the cause of your bleeding gums to be something else. So getting a diagnosis from your dentist is the best way to confirm that you are making the right changes to stop the bleeding.

There are some agencies that will assert that fluoride is bad for you. Your Dentist will say No, and here’s why…

Over the last 70 years a number of scientifically-based large-scale population studies have concluded that fluoride is excellent at preventing tooth decay and has little or minimal adverse impact on human health.

In fact, water fluoridation is supported by the World Health Organisation (World Health Assembly, 1978).

75% of Canadians are currently fluoridated through it’s water supply and it is evident when you watch reality TV how beneficial it has been for Canadians when you see the smiles and teeth of people from other less fortunate countries.

Whether they are called dental crowns, dental caps or tooth caps, damaged, broken or worn-down teeth are covered by a crown, as a way to strengthen the teeth and improve the cosmetic appearance. Your dentist will make moulds of your which are then sent to a dental laboratory where the crown/s are made.

Dental crowns are made from a wide range of materials, including ceramics, porcelain, gold or a combination of metals which have been fused to a porcelain shell.

The all-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns have a natural look and are indistinguishable from natural teeth.

There are two types of veneers; Porcelain Veneers and Composite Resin Veneers.

Porcelain veneers are made and bonded to your teeth. Resin veneers are put directly on your teeth. Both are designed to cover the front side of your teeth. Both are intended to fit your mouth and your smile to look natural. Caring for veneers is the same as cleaning natural teeth.
