The Sonic Toothbrushes
We are now carrying the Sonicare Flexcare+ and EasyClean electric toothbrushes.
The Flexcare+ brush can improve gum health and overall health after just 2 weeks of use by helping reduce gum inflammation and bleeding. It’s patented dynamic cleaning action removes plaque along the gumline and deep between teeth. It has 2 care modes, one for 3 minutes for overall cleaning, and one for 1 minute which is the perfect refresher between cleanings. This brush also comes with a UV Brush Head Sanitizer to keep the brush head free of bacteria. The Flexcare+ is $169.95 .
The EasyClean brush also uses Sonicare’s dynamic cleaning action to gently and effectively reach deep between the teeth and along the gumline. It has one-mode simplicity and a slim handle for comfort and maneuverability. The EasyClean is $79.95.
We believe electric toothbrushes significantly remove more plaque than manual ones and they will improve your home brushing experience and oral health. Ask to see our demo models at your next appointment. Until December 31, 2011 Sonicare is providing a $10 mail-in rebate.

MI Paste – Our Favourite New Product
MI Paste has quickly become a favourite product with us and with our patients.
MI Paste is the only product for professional use containing the active ingredient RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) a special milk-derived phosphopeptide that binds calcium and phosphate to tooth surfaces, plaque and surrounding soft tissue. MI Paste is a water-based, sugar-free créme that is applied directly to the tooth surface or oral cavity. MI Paste with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) restores the oral mineral imbalances that cause demineralization by replacing minerals while improving saliva flow and fluoride uptake as well as soothing sensitive surfaces – making it an ideal treatment for:
- Reversing tooth sensitivity and restoring enamel gloss after whitening procedures
- Relieving dry mouth caused by certain medications
- Reducing high oral acid levels from excessive soft drink consumption
- Reversing tooth sensitivity before and after professional cleaning
- Reducing high oral acid levels – sometimes a consequence of pregnancy
- Buffering acids produced by bacteria and plaque
- Regular conditioning during orthodontics, during and after bands or brackets have been removed, to prevent and reverse white spot lesions
- Providing a topical coating for patients suffering from erosion, caries and conditions arising from xerostomia

Smile Solutions Veneers
Dental veneers create bright, white smiles with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. The translucent ceramic quality of today’s veneers provides an incredibly natural look compared to what has been available in the past.
Veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Worn enamel
- Dull or discoloured teeth
- Wear and tear
- Abnormal spacing
- Uneven teeth

The Dark Side Of Teeth
There are many reasons why teeth can stain or discolour including:
- Dark drinks and food– such as coffee, tea, red wine, fruit juice, pop and pigmented foods such as cherries, cranberries, carrots, soy sauce and beets
- Hot drinks – constant temperature change can cause small fractures on the tooth surface allowing stains to penetrate
- Cigarettes – can cause yellowish to orange stains

Healthy Mouths Equals Healthy Bodies
Most of us realize that diet and exercise play an important part in keeping us healthy. But did you know that a healthy mouth is also an important part of a healthy body?
Growing research and evidence is supporting what dental professionals have long suspected: Infections in the mouth can play havoc elsewhere in the body.
