As a Kitchener Dentist, I often field the following question: "Will my dental insurance cover implants?" One of the main factors determining treatment plan acceptance by patients is whether or not their insurance will cover a recommended procedure. Some dental insurance plans cover only basic or routine procedures like cleanings, check-ups, dental fillings, extractions and […]
Just a short post today from your Kitchener Dentist to discuss treatment for loose teeth. A tooth can be loose for a number of reasons but typically, all of these reasons relate to bone loss around the tooth.

As a Kitchener Dentist, I see at least 2 patients each day to repair a broken tooth. Often, I will hear a request like, "use your best cement!" or "make sure to make it's really strong!".

Let's explore some […]
As a Kitchener Dentist, I get asked at least once each day: "Do I really need to floss?". Flossing is harder to do on autopilot compared to brushing your teeth. And, people report discomfort, soreness and bleeding of gums following flossing. The key is, if you floss daily, that discomfort and bleeding goes away. So, […]
As a Kitchener Dentist, I see patients every day with decayed teeth, infected teeth and badly broken teeth. There is always a solution for bringing these teeth back to a state of health.

There are lots of common symptoms in Dentistry. From an unprovoked toothache to cold sensitivity to biting pain, your Kitchener Dentist will have the ability to interpret them all. This typically leads to a diagnosis and treatment, where necessary. Sometimes, we get lucky and no invasive treatment is necessary. Other times, your Family Dentist will […]
As I've discussed in previous blog posts, cavities typically don't cause pain or sensitivity. However, tooth pain or sensitivity is a common chief complaint from patients. Dentists go through many tests to find out the cause of pain. We do this to arrive at a solution so that our patients can be comfortable. Sometimes, the […]
