MONTREAL DENTIST

Why Choose Us as Your Montreal Dentist

Simply put, we care about your overall health. We don't view caring for your dental needs as just caring for your teeth. Certain dental problems signal larger healthcare problems (see section below entitled Dental Signs That Signal Other Healthcare Problems).

We practice “aware and preventive care” medicine. To this end, we offer the latest in dental trends and technology. As a viable part of the community, we want you to think of us first as your Montreal dentist.

Following are a series of tips and guidelines to follow to maintain excellent dental health. Because we want to be your Montreal dentist, we provide up-to-date information to keep you healthy and in the know.

Daily Tips to Maintain Strong, Healthy Teeth from Your Friendly Montreal Dentist

Most likely, you learned everything you need to know to maintain good oral hygiene in pre-school. But, you may not know why you need to brush twice daily, for example. Or, perhaps more important, what happens if you don't. That's why, as your friendly Montreal dentist, we bring you the following information.

Brush at Least Twice Daily: You should brush with a CDA-approved fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride has been proven to help prevent tooth decay. It does this by strengthening the tooth and helping it to resist acid. Perhaps most importantly, it fights the cavity-causing bacteria. A good Montreal dentist can give you further information on the benefits of brushing with fluoride.

Replace Toothbrush Quarterly: At least every three or four months, you should replace your old toothbrush with a new one. Not only will a frayed, worn toothbrush not do a good job of cleaning your teeth, it can build up bacteria.

As your Montreal dentist, we will happily provide you with a new toothbrush with each visit.

Floss Daily: One of the major causes of dental decay that we as a Montreal dentist see is a buildup of decay causing bacteria. This is due to incomplete cleaning by many patients.

The mouth is a natural breeding ground for bacteria. And, it lingers in your mouth from the food and drink you consume. Food particles left between the teeth are one of the hardest areas to clean. That's why it's important to brush – and floss – daily to remove them.

As an extra measure of protection and care, in addition to flossing, as your Montreal dentist, we also advise patients to rinse with a fluoride-enhance mouthwash or dental rinse. This can provide extra protection against tooth decay.

Get Regular Checkups: We recommend that you visit your Montreal dentist at least twice annually. This is timely enough to prevent problems before they begin, and often enough to get regular cleanings.

FYI, you should have your teeth professionally cleaned by a Montreal dentist at least every six months.
