Oakdale Dental - Oakville 2014

February 2016: Oakville Dental Newsletter

It's important to bundle up during the chillier months of the season, but even more so to be mindful of your health. February coincides with Heart Month, an initiative to raise awareness and funds for those affected by heart disease and stroke.

At least 90% of Canadians have at least one risk factor, so make sure you are aware of the symptoms and to check up on family and friends who may be at risk.

Taking care of your teeth can also help with your heart health. Research has shown that bacteria found in gum disease can spread to the heart so make sure you brush and floss regularly.

We hope that you were able to spend time with your loved ones on both Valentine's Day and Family Day, and at the very least we hope you enjoyed the long weekend!

Until next time, great things start with a smile!

Top 7 Reasons for Regular Hygiene Therapy!

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.

Why is a regular hygiene therapy (formerly referred to as "dental cleanings") part of good oral hygiene?

Good Oral Health: During your hygiene treatment, the hygienist can let you know if you're maintaining good oral health, and make appropriate suggestions if you're not.

Early Detection of Dental Problems: Any possible problems can be detected during dental check ups, 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.

Keeping Your Teeth: Regular hygiene therapy, along with check ups, 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.
