Teeth Grinding in Children

Some children grind their teeth during sleep—a condition called bruxism—which can lead to headaches, jaw pain, and worn-down teeth. A custom-fit mouthguard, worn at night, can help protect your child’s teeth and reduce discomfort. These guards act as a cushion, preventing damage from clenching and grinding. Dentists can assess whether a mouthguard is needed and ensure it fits properly for comfort and effectiveness. Addressing teeth grinding early can prevent long-term dental issues and improve sleep quality. If your child complains of jaw pain or shows signs of tooth wear, talk to your dentist about a nighttime mouthguard.

Ask The Expert

q: I’m so glad for the summer daylight now! I’m looking forward to it – is there any harm in going without sunglasses? I think it’s much more healthy to absorb sunlight without them.

a: No, it’s better for your eyes to protect them from the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV light increases the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, skin tumours on the eyelids, and changes in the conjunctiva. The miniscule amount of Vitamin D produced by the eyes through sun exposure does not justify the long-term risk.

Baby Boomer Recognition Day

Baby Boomers Recognition Day is August 17. We couldn’t be more thrilled to honor a generation who are among the largest population in the country. The “Boomers” (1946 – 1964) are now between the ages of 61 and 79. Theirs was an eventful era; early Boomers were prime instigators of cultural movements and significant societal changes, and powerful forces to be reckoned with, they lived through a number of significant events: first generation to receive polio immunizations, first manned space mission and first lunar landing were also witnessed by boomers. Baby Boomers represent almost a quarter of the population.  We celebrate you!

Why Pet’s Oral Health Matters

Why Pet’s Oral Health Matters
Good oral health is essential to your pet’s overall well-being. Without proper care, pets can develop plaque and tartar buildup, leading to gum disease, tooth loss, and painful infections. These bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys, potentially causing serious illness. Regular brushing, dental check-ups, and cleanings help prevent these issues and keep your pet healthy and comfortable. Bad breath, drooling, or difficulty eating may be early signs of dental problems. Prioritizing your pet’s oral care is a simple yet powerful way to support their long-term health and happiness.

The Benefits of PRP Treatments

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments use your body’s own healing power to support tissue repair and regeneration. By extracting and concentrating platelets from your blood, PRP delivers growth factors directly to targeted areas. It’s widely used for joint pain, tendon injuries, and hair loss, and is growing in popularity for skin rejuvenation. PRP can reduce inflammation, speed healing, and improve overall tissue function with minimal risk, since it’s made from your own blood. As a natural, non-surgical option, PRP offers an effective solution for those seeking to heal, restore, or enhance without relying on medications or invasive procedures.
