🎃 Don’t be afraid of cavities this Halloween! Be sure to floss and brush before you go to bed tonight!

🎃 Have a fun and safe Halloween!!!

Halloween is just a week away so we thought we’d share a spooky fun fact with you!

💀 Keep your teeth and bones (and gums) healthy by flossing and brushing daily!

🤗 We are so excited to share the news that Dental Hygiene on Demand has been nominated for a 2024 Georgina Business Excellence Award in the COMMUNITY SPIRIT category!!!

This nomination came from someone in our community who thinks our business deserves to be recognized for the exceptional work we do in this wonderful community of ours 🩵💜

Thank you so very much for this recognition!

Finalists will be announced next month and the awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, December 12th 🤗

🤗 Follow my stories to keep up with all of the adventures and shenanigans! Otherwise, I’ll see you in a week! 😉

Just over 3 months ago, I decided to take control of my career by becoming my own boss. I left the traditional “dentist” office scene that I had been a part of for almost 20 years and went full-time at my own practice, Dental Hygiene on Demand.

BEST.DECISION.EVER.

I love being my own boss — in control of my schedule, my office, and what’s best for my clients. I am a better hygienist because of these things. I am happy. I am in control.

…Not to mention, grouches WITHOUT ANY TEETH! It’s still important to see your dental care professional in order to have oral cancer screenings and denture checks!

“Just because you’re trash, doesn’t mean you can’t do great things. It is called “garbage can”, not “garbage cannot”.

- Oscar the Grouch

🍗Get rid of those leftovers stuck between your teeth before you go to bed tonight! The evening is the best time to floss your teeth — but we’d be happy no matter when you choose to do it, as long as you choose to do it! 😉

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving Day 🦃

I am so very grateful for all of you!!! 🥰🥰

🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING LONG WEEKEND!!! Here’s a to help start your day off with a smile!

In awe.

Did you know that your mental health can affect your oral health?

Not many would link the two together which is why there is a need to educate individuals on the “brain-mouth connection”, which can help to explain the impact our mental health can have on our oral health.

STRESS can lead to teeth grinding and clenching which can cause pain, sensitivity, and tooth fractures. Stress can also result in poor oral hygiene habits.

SLEEP - lack of sleep can impair the immune system leading to increased risk of infection throughout the body. It can also lead to poor food choices (sugars and carbs) during the day and night, leaving your teeth susceptible to decay.

ANXIETY, especially dental anxiety, can result in neglect of oral hygiene and avoidance of dental appointments. Medications used for anxiety often cause dry mouth (xerostomia), which can increase the risk of tooth decay.

DEPRESSION can cause people to not have motivation to carry out daily self-care routines, including oral hygiene habits and proper nutrition. Medications can also lead to dry mouth.

OCD could result in brushing and flossing becoming repetitive, compulsive habits. This can lead to gum recession, tooth abrasion, and sensitivity.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE is a common coping mechanism for individuals suffering with mental health disorders. Use of prescribed, illicit, and illegal substances can cause dry mouth, tooth decay, tooth loss, grinding, and periodontal disease.

EATING DISORDERS can affect your oral health due to the exposure of acids from vomiting and can cause tooth decay and enamel erosion. Those who under-eat or restrict food may not receive enough iron and/or calcium, which can predispose them to tooth decay and oral infections.

🤗 Whether it’s a Halloween, Christmas, summertime, or plain old black scrub top - I love all of it!!! They’re so much fun and a great way to express my personality!

🩵 One of my favourite days was when this young guy decided he could sit in the dental chair all by himself!
