Flossing is extremely important not only for your teeth and gums, but for your overall health! The hygienists (Danielle, Sandra, Pat and Jyoti) here at our north Burnaby practice will help you perfect your flossing skill and find the product that best suits your needs – unwaxed, waxed, teflon, floss sticks/picks, floss handles, sonic flossers and battery flossers, it gets confusing!
Did you know that oral bacteria can enter other areas of your body and has been associated with a number of diseases? These include:
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Pulmonary Disease
- Fetal Development
- Diabetes
- Osteoporosis
- Arthritis
- Kidney Disease

- Alzheimer’s
How do you reduce your risk? Regular dental check-ups is your first best step. Talk to any member of our team for advise on reducing the harmful bacteria and any pre-existing oral infection.
