April 2013: Tips, eNews & More!
Oral health is more than just clean teeth and healthy gums. Your healthy smile is a source of confidence, comfort and joy. It is often the first impression you offer others and is a powerful focal point. Did you know that your mouth can also offer early warning signs of health issues throughout your body? During your dental examination we look for warning signs, sleep or stress issues (such as grinding), side effects of medications, effects of diabetes, body imbalances and even oral cancer. Take some time this month to learn more about your oral health, visit the Canadian Dental Association's Health Month section and feel free to ask us about any oral health topic.

Spring Cleaning! This past winter was one for the books. Heavy snow and ice may have affected your home's exterior and has likely made some changes to your landscaping. While it is easy to see what has happened on the ground, we wanted to remind you to look up! Damaged eavestroughs can lead to future expensive repairs, and damaged tree limbs can lead to unexpected surprises or worse once the weight of leaves is added over the next month. Until next month, Dr. MIlligan and the High Park Dental Team |

Use gentle, half-tooth wide, back and forth strokes. 3. Next, brush the outside back teeth, starting along the gumline. 4. For the inside back teeth, use short, angled brush strokes. 5. For the inside front teeth, tilt the brush vertically, and use an up-and-down motion. 6. For the chewing surfaces, hold the brush flat, and use a gentle motion. Click here to continue reading! |
