GOOD HABITS MAKE FOR GOOD TEETH A FEW SIMPLE STEPS WILL ENSURE GOOD ORAL HEALTH
BY JANINE LEGAL
Many of us have spent considerable time in a dentist’s chair, and most of us have probably wondered what dentists wished people did to take better care of their teeth – whether that means ensuring two-minute brushing, using fluo - ride toothpaste, flossing, making dietary changes or avoiding sugary drinks. Dr. Kelly Regula, general dentist, co-owner of Waverley Dental Centre and a Manitoba Dental Association board member had a lot to share about the simple habits people should practice. So, what does Dr. Regula have to say when it comes to maintaining good healthy teeth and gums? “My best advice is to focus on the basics and stay consistent,” she said. “Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth daily – ideally with floss – eat a balanced diet and see your dental professional regularly. Healthy teeth and gums are the result of small daily habits done well over time.”

“WHAT PEOPLE EAT MATTERS, BUT HOW OFTEN THEY EAT MATTERS, TOO.” – DR. KELLY REGULA
WHAT ABOUT TOOTHBRUSHES?
It turns out that not all toothbrushes are created equal. They come in every style and colour these days and it can be overwhelming to stand in the dental section of any store, trying to decide between soft-, medium- or firm-bristled, angled, compact, full-size, manual or electric. “In general, I recommend an extra-soft-bristled toothbrush,” Dr. Regula said. “Whether it is manual or electric, the most important thing is that it is used properly and consistently. Brush for two minutes two times per day is my motto. That said, electric toothbrushes can be especially helpful for many people because they make it easier to do a thorough job, particularly for children, seniors or anyone with limited dexterity. The key is to avoid hard bristles and aggressive brushing which can damage gums and wear down teeth,” she added. When it comes to toothpaste, decisions can be even harder to make. These days, the number of choices on the market is astro - nomical — whitening, tartar control, sensitive, charcoal, fluoride, to name but a few. Does it matter which one we choose?

aim for balanced meals rich in calcium, protein and fibre to support both oral and overall health.” Most of us are familiar with some of the health effects of smoking, and when it comes to oral health, smoking has a major impact. “Smoking increases the risk of gum disease, tooth loss, delayed healing, bad breath, staining, and oral cancer,” Dr. Regula said. “It can also mask signs of gum inflammation, so problems may become advanced before they are noticed. Quitting smoking is one of the best things someone can do for their mouth as well as their general health.” Dr. Regula said oral health is closely connected to overall health, and preven- tion is always easier and less costly than treatment. Even small improvements in daily habits can make a big difference over time. “If something feels off, such as bleed - ing gums, sensitivity, pain or a mouth sore that does not heal, do not ignore it. Early attention can prevent much bigger problems later.”
Dr. Regula says yes, it does matter, and she recommends using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste because fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. “For most people, a standard fluo - ride toothpaste is a good choice. Some people may benefit from specialized products for sensitivity, gum health, or dry mouth, but it is best to choose one based on your individual needs rather than marketing claims alone. Your dental professional will help you choose the right one for you.” What we eat and drink is also directly related to dental health, and Dr. Regula had some helpful tips to offer. “What people eat matters, but how often they eat matters, too,” she said. “Frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks and constant exposure to acids (including stomach acids from acid reflux) can increase the risk of cavities and enamel erosion. Water is the best drink for oral health. I encourage people to limit sugary drinks, sticky snacks and frequent grazing. Instead, one should
“WATER IS THE BEST DRINK FOR ORAL HEALTH. I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LIMIT SUGARY DRINKS, STICKY SNACKS AND FREQUENT GRAZING.”

Oral Health Is a Team Effort: Supporting Clients Through Every Stage of Care By Dr. Audrey Pinette
O ral Health Month is an oppor- tunity to reflect on something often overlooked: oral health is not just about teeth—it is about com- fort, function, confidence, and overall well-being. It is also best supported through a collaborative approach. Oral health is not the responsibility of one provider alone—it is a shared effort between clients and the professionals who support their care. The daily habits clients commit to play just as important a role as the treatment they receive. Here in Winnipeg, oral health is supported by a network of providers, including general dentists and dental specialists such as oral surgeons, periodontists, and orthodontists, alongside denturists who focus on the design, fit, and function of dentures. Each plays a distinct role, and when care is aligned, clients benefit from a more complete and supportive experience. At Winnipeg Denture & Implant Centre, we are grateful to work alongside dentists and dental professionals throughout the city who are equally committed to supporting our shared clients. When care is coordinated and communication is strong, it creates a more seamless and supportive experience. Tooth loss is not simply a cosmetic change—it is a significant shift in oral health. Natural teeth stimulate the jawbone and help maintain its structure. When teeth are lost, that stimula- tion is reduced, and the bone begins to change over time. This natural process, known as bone resorption, can affect the shape of the mouth, the way the jaws come together, and how a denture fits. Tooth loss affects far more than just the pres- ence of teeth—it changes the entire oral envi- ronment. In addition to bone resorption, there can be noticeable changes in facial aesthetics as the lips and cheeks lose support. Function is also affected. Chewing efficiency is reduced, speech may feel different, and the way the upper and lower jaws come together—your occlusion—can shift over time. These changes are a consequence of losing natural teeth and help explain why ongoing care is so import-
ant. With the right guidance and support, most clients are able to adapt well and regain comfort and confidence in their daily lives when missing teeth are appropriately replaced. Dentures play an important role in restoring both function and appearance after tooth loss, but it is important to approach them with realistic expectations. Unlike natural teeth, dentures are not anchored in the same way. Full dentures rest on the gums, while partial dentures rely on remaining teeth for support. Because of this, there can be natural limita- tions—particularly with lower full dentures, which can be more challenging due to the lack of suction and limited support. Over time, as the mouth continues to change, dentures require maintenance. Adjustments, relines, and eventual replacement are all part of the long-term journey. Regular follow-up care helps ensure that dentures continue to fit properly and that the underlying oral tissues remain healthy. This is where the collaborative care model becomes especially important. Dentists and dental specialists are essential in monitor- ing oral health, diagnosing conditions, and providing treatment when needed. Dentur- ists focus on the design, fit, and function of dentures, ensuring they are tailored to each client’s anatomy and needs. Open commu- nication between providers allows care to be coordinated thoughtfully and effectively. For clients, this means you are not navigating these changes alone. You are supported by a network of professionals who each bring their expertise to your care, helping ensure both short-term comfort and long-term oral health are prioritized. Within our clinic, one of the ways we support this process is through our on-site labora- tory. Having a lab within the clinic allows our denturists, Greg Pinette and Kevin Choi, to oversee each step of the denture process directly—from initial impressions to final fabrication. This allows for careful attention to detail and efficient adjustments when needed. We also use high-quality materials from Ivoclar, a globally respected name in dental manufacturing with over 100 years of expe-
Our team, supporting your smile every step of the way.
Oral Health Month serves as a reminder that maintaining oral health is an ongoing process. Whether you currently have natural teeth, wear dentures, or are somewhere in between, regular care and professional guidance remain important. It is not about a single treatment, but a long-term commitment to health and well-being. At Winnipeg Denture & Implant Centre, we are proud to be one part of that journey. We believe in working collaboratively, communicating openly, and supporting each client with care that is thoughtful and transparent. Alongside dentists and dental specialists throughout Winnipeg, our shared goal is simple: to help every client feel comfortable, confident, and well-supported at every stage of their oral health. If you have questions about dentures or changes in your oral health, we are always here to pro- vide guidance and work alongside your dental team to support your care.
rience. Their denture teeth are designed with layered aesthetics that closely resemble the natural variation found in real enamel. While no denture can fully replicate natural teeth, thoughtful material selection and precise craftsmanship can make a meaningful differ- ence in both appearance and comfort. An important part of the process is ensuring that clients are informed and involved. During the try-in stage, dentures are first created in wax, allowing clients to preview their smile and provide feedback before the final version is completed. Refinements can then be made to shape, fit, and appearance to help ensure the final result feels natural and personalized. Beyond the technical aspects, oral health is deeply personal. It affects how we eat, speak, and interact with others, and can influence confidence in both subtle and significant ways. Taking the time to understand each client’s experience—and supporting them through each stage of care—is essential.

GET THEM STARTED EARLY
“It allows us to catch any early signs of decay and monitor the eruption of teeth and jaws, while having conversations with parents about brushing, oral hygiene habits, feeding, and pacifier use,” Dr. Iwaszkiw said. “It sets the child up for success early on and helps them feel comfortable in the dental environment.” Dr. Iwaszkiw said these visits provide many benefits. They help reduce fear around visiting the dentist and help build posi- tive lifelong attitudes toward oral health. Brushing a young child’s teeth can be a challenging task, requiring plenty of restraint. That’s why it is crucial to have that first visit early – before the child’s full set of teeth emerge. Dr. Iwaszkiw said your dentist will show you techniques that should make it easier. “The longer you wait to introduce it, the more difficult it’s going to become,” she explained. “You want to get the child used to it as early as possible. Once they’re used to it, they’re going to be a lot more agreeable to open their mouth.” Thanks to the federal government’s Canadian Dental Care Plan, more families are eligible for dental care. That, along with the Free First Visit program, means no one should begin life without learning proper dental-care habits. “We don’t want people to avoid bringing in their toddler because they don’t have coverage,” Dr. Iwaszkiw said. “This allows people to come in and ask questions and address any concerns.” Free First Visit can cover a range of topics. Your dentist can address tongue and lip ties, bottle use, and diet. Parents will learn to avoid added sugars before their child’s second birthday and to only provide water or milk in the bottle. Brush after the nighttime bottle, and don’t let the child to take the bottle to bed.
MDA’S FREE FIRST VISIT INTRODUCES KIDS TO THE DENTIST’S OFFICE — AND GOOD HABITS
BY TONY ZERUCHA
Thanks to the Manitoba Dental Association’s Free First Visit pro- gram, new parents can get all of the information they need to help their children develop strong oral-health habits. Parents can bring children in for a free first dental visit with a participating dentist before the child’s third birthday – although the Canadian Dental Association recommends that an initial visit should occur before the child’s first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Dr. Darryll Iwaszkiw, a dentist at Kildonan Crossing Dental Centre and chair of the Manitoba Dental Association’s commu - nications committee, explained the benefits of early dental appointments for children.

“We don’t want any sugars, even if they’re natural sugars, sit- ting on the teeth overnight,” Dr. Iwaszkiw said. “That’s one of the biggest ways cavities can develop in young children.” Fruit juices, especially the box drinks popular with school lunches, provide little nutritional benefit. Most children don’t brush after drinking them, so those sugars remain on the teeth for longer. Choose water or milk instead. “Juice is like a treat,” Dr. Iwaszkiw said. “Try to limit it to spe- cial events. We don’t want to be having that every day.” Some minimize the importance of baby teeth, but that’s a mistake. Dr. Iwaszkiw said properly caring for them sets good lifelong habits. Failure to properly care for baby teeth can lead to abscesses and infections. “If we lose baby teeth early, it can create other problems down the road,” she cautioned. “It can lead to more crowding and set the foundation for bad bacteria in the mouth. As the adult teeth start to erupt, they may be more prone to developing decay.”

DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME COSMETIC DENTISTRY PROCEDURES AND SERVICES SHOULD ONLY BE BY LICENSED PROFESSIONALS
BY JANINE LEGAL
Cosmetic dentistry services are experiencing exponential growth in Canada. The boom means that countless people are chasing that perfect smile – whether through teeth-whiten - ing, veneers, aligners or a host of other procedures. But there are reasons to be cautious amid the search for a gleaming grin. Dentists are warning about harmful social media trends that highlight dental hacks over dental science – involving things such as at-home whitening hacks, homemade toothpastes, or affixing tooth gems and bling. Dr. Brent Wong is passionate about learning and help- ing others. He enjoys making his patients’ smiles beautiful, whether through full-mouth rehabilitation or helping them sleep through the night with the aid of a sleep apnea appliance. He has brought his dental expertise to developing countries around the globe through Shine Dental’s non-profit organi - zation, Shine the Light, which offers free dental, medical, and construction aid to those in need. Wong warns that online dental hacks might appear at first to be a way to save money and get the desired effect quickly. “DIY dental remedies might seem like a quick, budget-friendly hack, but the reality is often much darker,” Dr. Wong said. “We frequently treat patients for hydrogen peroxide gum burns and damaged enamel from ‘nail file’ contouring,” he said, referring to the after-effects of some of the more recent online trends. “These shortcuts often lead to long-term complications and repair costs that far exceed the price of a professional visit,” he added.
In addition to exercising caution about where we access dental information, there are lesser-known ways to improve our smiles. Shine Dental encourages strength training to bene - fit bones and gums and – ultimately – our smiles. According to Shine Dental’s recent newsletter: “Emerging research suggests that regular strength training may support bone density, which could help keep your jaw strong and your gums healthy. A sturdy jawbone provides the foundation your teeth need, while better circulation from exercise may support gum tissue health. Pairing oral hygiene with resistance training creates a win-win for your body and your smile.” Apart from overall health advice, Shine Dental does offer two quick and transformative services that will improve the appearance of your teeth. Dental bonding is a simple and non-invasive way to repair chips, close unwanted gaps and reshape teeth. The material used in the procedure blends seamlessly with your smile, and the service is often completed in one visit. Professional teeth-whitening involves safely addressing stains. Unlike many store-bought kits, professional whitening treatment delivers proven, noticeable and long-lasting results. Mallory Dalman is a registered dental assistant at Lifesmiles Grant Park. In her 11 years in the field, she’s worked with patients whose ages range from early teens to the mid-80s. She says in-office teeth whitening is the best, most cost- efficient way to go. “It’s also safer and more permanent than being a guinea pig at home,” Dalman said, referring to at-home teeth-whitening hacks, which include everything from brushing with baking soda to using hydrogen peroxide rinses as a bleach. Dalman works alongside dentists who do meticulous cosmetic work, including veneers, which she describes as press-on nails for the mouth.

With teeth-whitening, Dalman points out considerations that include whether the enamel is too thin. “We do a thorough exam and take a look at gum line. We work with the dentist who can answer any questions. If someone has receding gums, I cover that area. Are there partial teeth, upper dentures? Are the natural teeth still staining? I’m a little dental magician – if some - one has very sensitive teeth, I try to show them alternatives,” she said, cautioning that there are some stains that can’t be lifted. Teeth-whitening is a cosmetic procedure, and without a health spending account isn’t covered by insurance. Fortunately, costs are reason- able, starting at just over $100 with promotions. “People will see results as soon as they walk out of the clinic. People are happier. They can’t believe the change. It’s rewarding, seeing their happiness. That’s probably the best payback that anybody could ask for.”
“It is something that’s permanent – we don’t remove the tooth structure. Veneers are a great thing to do. You don’t have to do the whole entire mouth. Last week we did the four front teeth on a patient,” Dalman said, explain - ing that it’s an excellent option for those who don’t like the spaces between their teeth. “It’s less invasive than doing a full crown. You can choose the shade and shape.” Dalman, too, said that people should stick to visiting dental centres rather than trying things at home. “With in-office teeth whitening, it’s being watched over by people in the dental office. There can be damage to the enamel if not done correctly. Once you lose your enamel, you can’t get it back,” she said, adding that with baking soda paste, strips, or trays, prod- ucts can easily be used incorrectly and even abused, damaging enamel.

“OUR DATA SHOWS THE OVERALL OUTLOOK IS GOOD.” – ONDINA LOVE
STRONG DEMAND FOR HYGIENISTS EXPANDING ROLES STRENGTHEN MANITOBA’S ORAL HEALTH WORKFORCE BY TONY ZERUCHA
Manitobans considering dental hygiene as a career will find a profession which offers increasingly diverse opportunities. Thanks to the Canadian Dental Care Plan, demand for hygienists should remain strong in the years ahead. While the industry’s organizing bodies acknowledge there are some issues, they say strategies are in develop- ment to address them. To become a dental hygienist in Manitoba, students can obtain a three- year diploma from the University of Manitoba’s School of Dental Hygiene. Upon graduation, they must complete a national exam and provide a criminal record check, proof of identity, current CPR certification and pro - fessional liability insurance. They must also answer character declaration questions, according to Dr. Kyle Fraser, registrar and executive director of the College of Dental Hygienists of Manitoba. Should an experienced dental hygienist from another Canadian prov - ince wish to practise here, Fraser said they must provide a letter of good standing from their previous provincial regulator. Those who have taken time off may have to take refresher courses. Once practising, dental hygienists in Manitoba must take 75 hours of continuing competency classes every three years. Overall, the Canadian dental hygiene profession is healthy, according to Ondina Love, CEO of the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association. The
CDHA represents more than 24,000 of the 35,000-plus dental hygienists in Canada. It provides advocacy, education and public recognition. “Our data shows the overall outlook is good,” Love said. “There are more graduates than there are people planning to leave the profession.” That’s a solid foundation, but Love said there is an unbalanced distri- bution of hygienists across Canada, with shortages in rural and remote communities, including in Manitoba. She credited the federal govern - ment with addressing this by forgiving up to $15,000 in student loans over five years for dental hygienists who practice in rural and remote communities. Love said that her conversations with Manitoba educators suggest that student loan forgiveness has more students considering careers in those regions. “That’s the whole goal of it,” Love said. “There has to be some national incentive to work in those rural and remote communities.” Love said dental hygiene students are joining an evolving profession with new opportunities. While 91 per cent of dental hygienists practise in traditional office settings, more are pursuing mobile practices or joining community-based initiatives. Some are practising in long-term care homes. “They’ve really expanded in providing access to care,” Love said.
April 4-10 was National Dental Hygienists Week in Canada.
