Our Dental Encyclopedia

As important as regular cleanings and check-ups are, what you do at home, your diet, your home care and maintenance routine and your vigilance in having problems checked as they crop up are a big part of the dental health puzzle. At Enamel Republic (formerly Danube Dental Clinic), we want to provide you with the critical information you need to make huge strides with you oral health!

Some patients need to know about better flossing techniques while others would benefit from a high fluoride toothpaste. Others still may be suffering damaging effects of low saliva flow and would have a better life if using a saliva substitute. We want to tailor our dental care to your specific situation and part of that is giving you the right information. Our Patient Education Terms below will help to prime you for important conversations you may have with us at some point. And, if we discussed something but you’ve forgotten what it means, let us know or you can use the resources below to “jog” your memory!

Below you will find detailed information on the most common dental problems and procedures. These include: braces and Invisalign, tooth whitening, dental bridges, dental crowns, dental fillings, dentures, root canal treatment, tooth extraction, dental implants, and more!

And don’t forget, if you have a specific problem or dental emergency please give us a call at (519) 576-8160. We provide emergency dental services in Kitchener & Waterloo. Also, please feel free to peruse our Emergency Dental Care & Tips for Managing Dental Emergencies pages.
