A Message From Dr. Doug

A Message From Dr. Doug   To My Patients,​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement on May 18, 2022. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the honour and privilege of being your dentist.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I was thrilled to open my acceptance letter from UBC Dentistry in 1968, as being a dentist had always been my lifelong dream; it truly changed the course of my life.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Since graduating in 1972, opening the Steveston Dental building with Dr. Bob in 1973 and having my daughter, Dr. Michele, join the practice 20 years ago, I have so many fond memories and cherished friendships.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I’ve watched your kids grow up; I’ve shared your pain when going through difficult times; and [...]

Making Halloween Healthy For Your Teeth

HALLOWEEN IS ONE OF the most highly anticipated holidays of the year, and it’s almost here! This holiday sees kids, teens, and even adults consuming far more sugar than they would any other time, coming in second only to Easter. The problem with this is that sugar is the favorite food of the harmful bacteria living in our mouths, which means eating all these treats is very bad for our oral health. Halloween Treats Versus Our Teeth Any time we consume sugar, that bacteria in our mouths gets a big tasty meal, after which it excretes acid onto our teeth. If you’ve ever noticed an unpleasant sour taste or gritty feeling a little while after eating dessert, that’s why. The acid can do a lot of damage to our tooth enamel, [...]

When To See The Dentist

BECAUSE PREVENTION IS such a major part of good dental care, it’s critical to visit the dentist for regular checkups. In most cases, two regular dental cleanings a year will be all you need, but not always. So what are the signs that you shouldn’t wait until your next scheduled appointment to come back? For this blog post, we’ve listed the top five. 1. Aches Of Any Kind If you’re experiencing tooth pain, that could mean a cavity has gotten to the point where the dental pulp is getting infected. Don’t tough it out thinking it’ll just go away on its own. Other types of pain you should bring to the dentist are an aching jaw and frequent headaches. These are often connected to oral health issues such as bruxism (teeth-grinding), and the [...]

Why Are Dental Sealants Important?

DO YOU SPEND A LOT of time worrying about how to keep your child’s teeth cavity-free? Teaching them to brush and floss are critical steps towards ensuring that they can take good care of their teeth for life. Once those permanent teeth come in, there’s something we can do at the dental practice that will give them even more protection against tooth decay, and that something is applying dental sealants. Bacteria Versus Your Child’s Teeth The reason it’s so critical to teach our children good oral health habits at an early age is that 40 percent of children develop cavities by the time they start school because of poor oral hygiene and consuming sugary snacks and drinks. Every human mouth contains numerous species of bacteria that excrete acid onto our teeth when consume sugar, [...]
