Spring is here!

Although it has been an especially long and cold winter, the prospect of hosting family barbeques, revelling in short-sleeve weather and lounging by the patio are just around the corner. We promise!

Warmer weather can improve your mood and be smile inducing, so make sure to put your best smile forward. Speak to us! There is a lot we can do to improve your smile and make it all that it can be.

Energy Drinks and Your Smile!

Many of us have come to rely on energy drinks for an extra boost, but have you considered their effect on your smile? These drinks can be very damaging to your teeth due to their ability to decalcify (or dissolve) the enamel, which is critical for maintaining the strength of the tooth.

What are the risks associated with energy drinks?

Energy drinks contain corrosive acids. These acids leach minerals out of your tooth's enamel. Enamel is the cover that protects the visible part of your teeth, and once your enamel is gone, it does not regenerate. These problems are heightened for teens and adolescents because their teeth are not fully matured and therefore not as resistant to these acid attacks.
