Grey Tooth

2014-02-06T23:24:43+00:00

My child fell and banged their front baby tooth and it’s turned black. What do we do? Generally when a baby tooth is traumatized it can turn black for a couple of reasons. One reason which is quite common is essentially a bruise. There is bruising on the inside of the tooth with some dried blood giving the outside surface of the tooth a grey appearance. The other reason the tooth can turn grey or black is because the nerve inside has died, become necrotic and there is no way that we can one hundred percent know by looking at a [...]

Crowding

2014-02-06T23:04:17+00:00

My child’s teeth are coming in crooked. Are they going to need braces? This is usually asked by the parent of a two or three year old. It’s very hard to determine at this stage if in fact your child will need braces because of several reasons.

Playground safety

2013-09-10T17:01:27+00:00

With the kids back in school, or starting his or her very first days in kindergarten, we want to remember the Canadian Pediatric Society's recommendations on playgrounds!   "Playgrounds can help children be active and healthy. They’re a place where children can run, jump, climb, slide and play with peers.   Adults and caregivers need to take care to ensure that children stay safe in the playground. Most playground injuries are caused when children fall from the equipment, but they can also happen if a child gets caught in or cut by equipment that isn’t well cared for.   When choosing [...]
