Happy Winter and Holidays from the HappyTree Team!
We celebrated the last day of fall/winter solstice with Allan in full festive garb and picked our fall draw winner🏆
Our office will be closed Dec 22- Jan7th, other than a few previously scheduled patients who will be in for cleanings over the break.
Allan and the team wish you a restful, joy-filled time in whatever way you choose that nourishes you. We look forward to seeing you in 2024!🌲🎉
Holiday vibes happening with the HappyTree crew. Thank you to for hosting us and for the delicious spread.

Tongue position matters. Where our tongue sits and moves in our mouth makes a difference to how our jaws grow and the position our teeth are in.
Ideally you should be breathing through your nose with your tongue gently against your palate with your lips together and teeth apart.
Where is your tongue?
We think we have something pretty special at our office.
Creating a synergistic team who support one another and have fun has been a big part of the vision of HappyTree since day one.
Here are some snaps from our recent team picnic at Willows Beach where we were able to enjoy some delicious food from some fellow local businesses REFIRE KITCHEN and CAKES ETC.
What a magic night

Some silliness at Crabben in the Park last weekend in VicWest (Banfield Park) with Dr. Linton and one of our patient's who also happens to be her sister:)

We're getting ready to jump into Summer Holidays!!!!

There are so many ways to get out into nature and get active! Walking, biking, running, swimming just to name a few. All are beneficial for your mental and physical health. So get out there amongst the trees, your body will thank you!

Xylitol!! It's kind of magical ✨ when it comes to the prevention of cavities.
Here's why:
Natural bacteria present in the mouth feed on the sugars we eat. These bacteria multiply and produce acids that attack the teeth and form cavities, (dental term: caries).
*Xylitol is a natural sugar substitute that inhibits the growth of cavity causing bacteria- helping shift your oral flora to one that is less harmful to your health!
*Xylitol also keeps the bacteria from adhering to teeth which decreases plaque.
*Xylitol can stimulate saliva production, raising the pH in your mouth which is beneficial in repairing damaged enamel and remineralizing teeth.
Here's our recommendations on how to use it:
* use xylitol as a sugar substitute
* using xylitol gum or pastilles after each meal
* use xylitol mouthwash before bed
* use xylimelts if you experience a dry mouth at night
* River's tip: be careful with xylitol with your pooch as xylitol is toxic to dogs
Give us a call to find out brands we love or if you have any questions!
It's common to have some anxiety when sitting down in the dental chair. Here are 3 tips to get you as relaxed as River for your next appointment!
* Book a check up when you're not in an emergency situation. This will help you to build a relationship with your dentist and get used to your surroundings.
* Try to arrange an early in the day appointment so it won't be hanging over you all day. Also first thing in morning there will be no delay in the dentist's schedule so waiting time will be minimized.
* Let the dentist and assistant know what triggers your anxiety. Maybe it's the noise - headphones with music you love could help. Or a dental smell - essential oils could be really beneficial.

Meet Katelyn! Our amazing CDA. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about all things dental she also keeps our office running smoothly and on schedule. You will feel supported and cared for in her capable hands.
When not in the office she enjoys being active, spending time with her 3 boys, friends and family.
Studies show that being in nature can greatly improve your overall health. Just like brushing & flossing can greatly improve your oral health. At HappyTree we think both are necessary to live a healthy life.
Your prescription for the summer: brush, floss, cannon ball, repeat.
Clean air is very important- especially at the dentist!
Our office has Surgically Clean Air filters throughout our space that reduce aerosols produced by dental procedures.
This gives us the most purified air possible so our team, patients and plants can breathe easy🪴
Our office is closed this coming Monday for the long weekend.
Sending happy long weekend vibes to everyone☀️
Meet Lauren! Our fabulous front desk coordinator!
Lauren really keeps our office running smoothly and everyone's vibes high. A free spirit and a deeply caring soul she will help you with all your dental booking needs.
When not in the office Lauren loves to travel, garden, practice yoga and enjoy our beautiful island. 🏕️🪷
It's sort of like having spinach in your teeth- you don't know its there but everyone else does! Fun to capture in a photo for posterity's sake and also remember that life is short and it's important to not take it all too seriously.
But also- have floss or toothpicks on hand if you have areas between your teeth where food gets stuck so you can eventually get it out of there!
The green bits came out of Olive's locks with a bit of elbow grease and she is back in business.
We can get your teeth back in business too- We can't wait to meet you.

That flossing once a day is a must for your overall health!
Benefits include healthy gums, better breath and a reduced chance of heart disease to name a few.
Making new habits can be difficult but flossing is one that you can't afford to skip.
Give us a call and let's get those gums in shape!
Happy Summer Solstice!
