Heatlthy Smile, Healthy Heart! |
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.
February also means Valentine's Day (February 14th) and Family Day (February 15th) are fast approaching! We hope you are able to spend time with loved ones and enjoy the time off.
If it's been awhile since we've seen you, be sure to book an appointment.
Wishing you a year filled with smiles,
Dr. Svoboda and the team at ParkPlace Dental Centre |
Is there something missing in your smile? |
Are you hesitant to show your teeth when you smile? Is your smile missing something? Maybe even a full tooth?
Many people, for one reason or another, have lost a tooth. Reasons range from poor dental hygiene to any variety of accidents. Whatever the reason for the missing tooth we can repair your smile and replace your tooth with a dental implant.
A dental implant is a small prosthetic post that is placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. The post functions as the root portion of a lost natural tooth and serves as an anchor for a replacement tooth. An artificial tooth is then attached to the post. Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth - in fact, no one other than you and your dentist will be able to tell the difference.
