Forest Green Dental Care

Dr. Szmitko and her team of dental professionals, here at Forest Green Dental Care in Newmarket, want to make sure that your children have a broad, beautiful, healthy smile. Making sure that your children are healthy is so important, and your child's oral health is a huge part of their overall health.

All aspects of our dental treatment offer a cosmetic and functional component. Thanks to advances in modern dentistry, teeth can be restored with tooth coloured resins and ceramics. These quality restorations are strong, durable, metal free and are bonded to tooth structure. Dr. Szmitko and her team of dental professionals, here at Forest Green Dental Care in Newmarket, feel they represent an excellent investment in your long-term dental health.

Bruxism is the medical term for grinding, gnashing or clenching your teeth. The condition affects both children and adults. Some people with bruxism unconsciously clench their teeth together during the day, often when they feel anxious or tense. This is different from tooth grinding or clenching that occurs at night, which is called sleep bruxism.

Digital x-rays help in the diagnosis and treatment of many dental procedures. They illustrate bone height, bone defects, infection, root involvement, tartar, tooth decay, and more. Digital x-rays are also beneficial in determining if gum disease is progressing or if arrested. Here in Newmarket at our Forest Green Dental Care offices, Dr. Szmitko realizes the benefits for our patients when utilizing our digital x-ray system.

Periodontal disease is a silent and painless disease until the advanced stages. As an infection, it destroys the attachment of the gum and the bone, which supports and holds your teeth in place. Your body must fight a constant infection, which wears down the immune system.

Early detection of periodontal disease enables our team of dental professionals to treat the periodontal disease with less radical treatment methods and create healthier gums with reduced general health risks.Slow, but progressive, periodontal disease swells the gingiva and destroys the bone that supports your teeth.
