While you are shopping for your friends and family, think about getting some gifts to inspire them to maintain oral health.

Odontophobia, also known as dental phobia, is the fear of dentists and dental treatment.
Dental phobia can range from slight unease to a paralysing fear that keeps you entirely away from the dental office.
Unfortunately, avoiding the dentist is terrible for both your oral and general health.

Invisalign can be an excellent alternative to metal braces for those who wish to straighten their teeth, regardless of their age.
Unlike conventional “train-track” braces, Invisalign has no food restrictions, less discomfort, and no unsightly metal brackets.
You can achieve straighter teeth, almost without anyone noticing, as Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!

It is not uncommon to clench your teeth from time to time.
Occasional grinding, scientifically known as bruxism, does not always cause damage, but when it occurs regularly, teeth can be damaged, and related oral health complications may arise.
Because grinding often takes place while we sleep, many are unaware that they grind their teeth.

Take a look outside and it becomes obvious – spring is here!
Sunny, warmer days, birds in the air, blooming flowers, and the idea of a new start dominates the season. As a part of clearing out the old and dusty and ringing in the new and sparkly, spring cleaning begins.
We all know this is an excellent time to deep clean your house, reorganize, and re-design.

Everybody knows that drinking water is vital for your health. But staying hydrated can be difficult – and sometimes boring.
As a rule of thumb, you are told to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. But after the first few glasses of water, you might begin to find the taste gets boring. And after eight glasses? You may never want to drink water again!
This is why people sometimes get tired of drinking plain water or look for something a bit more exciting. And sometimes, this choice is sparkling water.
