Celebrate Canada Day With a Confident Smile

As we prepare to celebrate Canada’s 158th year, it’s important to remember that our oral health is essential to our overall health. Before you dive into the celebrations with fireworks and flags, take a minute to brighten your Canada Day smile with these tips.

Dental Care for Canada Day

Stay Consistent

Don’t neglect your oral health routine. Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush, and floss regularly. Make sure you cover every surface of your teeth, as well as your gum line.  

Stay Hydrated

This applies to more than just your oral health. Between the summer heat and potential overindulgence in sugary treats and beverages, drinking water is essential. Not only will it prevent you from becoming dehydrated—it will also help to rinse away food particles and neutralize acids in your mouth. 

Protect Your Teeth During Outdoor Activities

Celebrating our beautiful country with outdoor activities? Consider wearing a mouthguard to prevent an emergency trip to the dentist this Canada Day. Mouthguards protect against oral injuries, including chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. 

Schedule a Routine Exam

Don’t let the season of festivities interrupt your oral health routine. If it’s been a while since your last checkup, contact us before or after Canada Day to schedule an appointment. Routine exams are essential to your oral health and can detect any minor issues before they become major problems.
