One of the things we love to do with our patients is educate them! The comments and feedback from our patients have told us that they love understanding more about how their everyday choices can affect their oral health.
Rocell, owner and head clinician at White Summit Dental had a chance to chat with Best Health magazine about gum disease.

We are very happy to report we were able to open and restart operations as of Friday June 28th, 2013!! For those of you who we had to cancel appointments for, we’ll be contacting you in the next week or so to reschedule.
The affected areas and communities still have a long way to go. We were able to donate some tools, buckets and flashlights to some of the communities who needed equipment. If you’d like to help, we recommend the following two methods:
It’s great to see Calgarians getting together and helping the people and businesses get back on their feet! Don’t forget to support your local Calgary business getting back on it’s feet too!

Wow… The events over the past few days have been shocking, saddening, awe-inspiring and amazing. The flood here was nothing short of shocking, but the response from all levels of government, and the people of Calgary pulling together has been nothing short of amazing!
Thankfully, our immediate friends, family, and our practice are all okay. The practice currently doesn’t have any power, and we expect this to be rectified by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. For now we’re going to cancel appointments on Tuesday, June 25th.
We know that not everyone made it out of this disaster as unscathed as we did, so if there are any oral hygiene supplies you need to help out, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to contribute.
Highlights:
Best wishes to all of you, and we look forward to contributing to rebuilding the effected areas of the city and getting Calgary back to the most amazing place it normally is.

What is smokeless tobacco? It’s the stuff you dip, snuff, chew and spit (Generally, not the stuff a good date would be doing!). For some time these forms of tobacco were known to contribute to causing oral cancer. Recently the chemical responsible for these oral cancer-causing attributes have been identified. The chemical (S)-NNN is part of a family of chemicals called nitrosamines, which are also found in beer and bacon! However the amount in smokeless tobacco is far higher than that found in food.

Have you been brushing your teeth in the morning and wondered who the heck invented the toothbrush? Well, as it tuns out it’s not a simple answer. Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Europeans, and Americans all had a hand in brining to life what we commonly use today: the nylon bristled toothbrush.

We sometimes take for granted “baby teeth”, since they usually get replaced by permanent teeth. However habits developed in these young years will usually extend long into one’s life. This article by the Sydney Morning Herald talks about how to take care of baby teeth and some of the challenges being seen in Australian children’s’ dental care.
If you take one thing away from this article, it should be to reduce sugary foods and over-processed carbs in your child’s diet.
A new study has revealed that older men who are missing teeth and elderly women appear more susceptible to dementia when they brush less than once a day. Although this study doesn’t directly tie the two directly together, we feel it’s a good reason to keep on brushing!
Here is the Vancouver Sun reporting on the study.
Here is the study the story is based on.
