For most of us, November is often a month of change. As the weather gets colder and fall slowly gives way to winter, we rush to unpack our warmer clothes while trying to get started on our holiday shopping. Don't forget to also enjoy the warm fall sunshine, colourful changes in nature, or a cup of hot tea or cocoa to treat yourself in the moment. The daylight time change and effects it can bring are also an adjustment to our day-to-day.

Speaking of hot cocoa, we tend to consume more hot food and beverages as winter arrives. Much like enjoying cold ice cream in the summer, sudden changes in temperature can trigger teeth sensitivity. This can be caused by a broken or decaying tooth, worn down enamel from grinding, or other factors. If you have been experiencing tooth sensitivity lately, contact us today so we can help you get to the root of the problem.

A Friendly Reminder: Use It or Lose It!

As the end of the year is quickly approaching, if your dental plan is based on the calendar year, benefits may not roll over into the new year and instead reset. So take advantage of your plan by getting a check-up, cleaning, or any other dental work you may have been putting off before year's end. Also, if you have more significant work that you've been holding off from starting, speak to us about options to split it between your 2021 and 2022 insurance allotments.

Tongue-tie, also known as ankyloglossia, is a relatively uncommon condition that occurs when the piece of skin under the tongue and upper lip (the frenulum) is too tight and restrictive in a baby's mouth. This condition leads to the impaired movement of the tongue, which can further cause issues with speaking, swallowing, and breastfeeding in infants, poor oral health while growing up and other dental problems related to jaw development for older children and adults. Although the cause of tongue-tie is not certain, it is most likely passed down through genetics and is more common in boys.
