Clinic Update

Hi again everyone!

Dental offices just received the go-ahead to open, but with many restrictions. So at this time we have decided it would be safest for our clients to delay opening until more is understood about COVID-19 and after some of the restrictions have lifted.

We are available for text or email consultations, as we always have been. There is no charge for this service for our regular clients.

TEXT: 705-722-0030    EMAIL: info@barriedentalhygiene.ca

If you require more time or would like to access 'tele-dental hygiene care' we can connect virtually through Zoom or Facebook Messenger, please email us to arrange a time.

I would encourage all the Orofacial Myofunctional and Myomunchee clients to take advantage of this service. We will add the time spent to your next visit in the office once we get back!

If you have a tooth or gum problem, please let us know and we can refer you to an office that is seeing clients.

We will keep you updated as restrictions change. Look forward to seeing your smiling faces again!

Thank you for your patience and support,

Tammy G and Tammy M

Some oral health tips!

1. Massage your gums gently for 2 minutes using a gentle, soft brush with a sprinkle of baking soda and/or clay.

2. Make a solution for swishing/gargling using 1 cup of warm filtered water + 1 teaspoon of sea salt (warm water will help dissolve salt at first) and keep in a jar beside bathroom sink. Swish and gargle 1/2 -1 oz. for a minute or so. Another method is to swish with a small amount of coconut oil, MCT oil or raw sesame oil for 5-10 minutes and spit into paper towel and dispose.

3. Floss your gums gently or use a proxabrush or rubber tip under gums, brushing and swishing after to remove any particles.

4. Chew crunchy raw fruit and vegetables daily to clean your teeth, exercise your jaws and to feed the cells of your body (this is extremely important for children to help their jaws grow and to fit their new adult teeth).
