  Dr. Meagan Bennett Treats Her Own Daughter – Ancaster Dentist Office Dr. Meg: Hi, it’s almost bedtime here at the Ling house. We’ve got Brooke here in her jammies, her Christmas jammies, her gingerbread “Oh Snap!” jammies. The reason why I’ve got Brooke here is because Brooke is actually one of my success stories. I had to take out two teeth on Brooke and she was really anxious and really nervous. Her sister ended up having to have some sedation because she was not one of my success cases. But for Brooke, she actually was very nervous and tell everybody what happened, Brooke. Brooke:  Mommy pulled out two teeth but they didn’t hurt at all because she sang me tooth songs, and then she put something in my mouth so that I couldn’t feel anything. Dr. Meg:  Yes, I put lots of gel on, and what was I singing about? Brooke:  Teeth! Dr. Meg:  Just funny songs about teeth? Brooke:  Yep Dr. Meg:  Was I a good singer? Brooke:  No!

How Does Smoking Affect Your Oral Health?

  A healthier smile is paramount for most adults. It's often the first thing folks notice when they are exposed to someone for the first time. And no one wants a smile that's dull or discolored, while also having bad breath. The fact that regular brushing is only fifty percent of the solution; it does not eliminate the stains or even bring down halitosis (bad breath) by itself. A smoker needs more frequent dental cleanings.   Those who smoke have a greater risk of problems with the gums, having problems after  teeth extractions , as well as after surgical treatment of the mouth, and also an increased chance of oral cancer. Cigarette smokers possess a lowered resistance to infection and have slower healing.   Stopping smoking cuts down on the chance of acquiring oral cancer and gum disease and increases the individual's reaction to gum treatment. It's vital for smokers to see their dentists on a regular basis to maintain their teeth and gums are healthy and have regul...

Advantages of Invisalign

  What Is Invisalign? Invisalign  is a way to straighten the teeth without having to worry about brackets. The aligners are clear and removable. Your orthodontist starts by scanning your teeth digitally. Afterward, you will see a map of where your teeth are now and where they will end up at the end of treatment.   While you wear the  aligners , you can remove them to eat. With traditional braces, you must worry about food restrictions at mealtime. However, with Invisalign, you can eat without worrying about your orthodontics. Also, you take them out when you brush your teeth. Cleaning is easier without wires and brackets in the way.   How Do Aligners Work? Although you can take the  aligners  out for a couple of hours a day to brush and eat, you keep them in the rest of the time. When you wear each aligner for two weeks, they will move your teeth a little at a time. At the end of those two weeks, it is time to move onto the next aligner to move you clo...
