ꪆ୧ MORE .ᐟ

scent: rosa has always had a sensitive nose with fragrances, so she's always stuck with a few signature perfumes. Her chosen few are, chanel coco mademoiselle,  calvin klein euphoria, parfums de marly paris. 

outfits: rosa’s big three for her outfits are, any type of skirts (preferably a miniskirt), low rise jeans and boots/platforms. rosa always tries to look her best and be presentable and she's honestly slightly obsessed with shopping, so she has a large wardrobe, not just from shopping but also from sponsors/modeling. If she's going for comfort, she likes to wear mom jeans, sweatpants, jean or cloth shorts, fleece pullovers, hoodies, sweaters, cardigans etc. For everyday clothing, she likes wearing jeans, skirts, baby tees, button down cropped blouses, long sleeves, sundresses. For special occasions, she likes wearing shorter dresses with tights, or slacks with corset tops.  

accessories: rosa mostly accessories with bags, sunglasses/non prescription glasses, jewelry, and headwear. Such as, headbands, hair clips and pins, baseball caps, berets, bucket hats. She likes including ear muffs, scarves, leg and arm warmers. She’s very creative with wearing accessories but it really all just depends on her outfit. She loves bags like she has a large collection of them, mostly prada, coach and christian dior bags. With her larger bags she likes having cute little keychains addons, and with her smaller bags she likes tying bows and having smaller keychains on them. She also loves getting her nails done, she prefers when they are short and she likes almond nails the most. 

jewelry: she enjoys both silver and gold but mostly leans into gold. Again it really depends on the outfit she is wearing. She doesn't like overusing jewelry and having a lot on at a time, especially with her everyday life. She likes having a few bracelets and a thin watch on, a few rings and of course a necklace and her earrings. She has a lot of different types of rings, mostly vintage ones. Her favorite jewelry pieces are her mood ring, her charm bracelet, her pendant necklace, and her lucky gold hoops. 

makeup: rosa isn't the biggest fan of having makeup on, especially on her face because it makes her feel uncomfortable. She's a big fan of curling her eyelashes and using mascara, and eyeliner (on her waterline as well) . She likes using a little blush but her cheeks are naturally rosey so she normally uses blush in the winter, maybe sometimes even a little highlighter. She does always have something on her lips, lip gloss, lipstick or lip tint, mostly pinks and nude shades.

previous part | next part | masterlist

Part two | May 2002

You were a work of art, that’s the hardest part.

It had been three weeks since you had gotten home. You had become more than a bit of a hermit, looking and applying for jobs. You made yourself sparse in the house, you understood everything your brother did was an open invitation to you, but it was easier to disappear. It also gave you time to process, when you left Toronto it was a whirlwind, but now it was a dulling ache. Friends had reached out, wondering where you went, if you were okay. You gave them enough information so they wouldn’t worry, but not enough to come looking for you.

It was Friday morning, just like any other morning, you were searching through medical journals and websites looking for job postings. Search, apply, wait, and wait some more. It wasn’t very thrilling, but it was something to do to keep your head above water.

The alarm on your phone had begun ringing, 10 am, you reached into your desk drawer and took your meds. They filled a hole in your head you hadn’t known was there until you had a small breakdown two years ago. It was something only a few people in your life knew about, it wasn’t something you ever really wanted out there. There was almost a shamefulness to it, no one in Austin knew, and then one person in Toronto who knew about it was no longer welcome in your life. So you move on, continue as you have and hope that your ticket out comes sooner rather than later. 

A soft knock came at your door. 

“Come in!” You said, closing the desk drawer quickly. 

“Hey! Someone is at the door for you,” Kelsey popped her head in and smiled. 

You looked down at your Dell Med School t-shirt and Roots sweatpants and laughed lightly. 

“Is it anyone important?” You asked embarrassed gesturing to your pajama centered clothing choices. 

“I am sure they won’t even notice.”

You sighed and stood up, you lightly stretched and made your way downstairs. Just as the entryway came into view there was Sarah and Joel, Sarah with her backpack on and Joel shifting uncomfortably looking at the floor. 

“Hey guys,” you said, smiling at them. 

“Hey!” Sarah smiled. 

“What’s up? Shouldn’t you be at school already?” You questioned. 

“I had a dentist appointment this morning. We just came back to the house to grab my bag, but I wanted to see if you were around tonight,” She swayed, clearly hoping you’d say yes.

“I’m uh-, not sure,” You looked at Joel for guidance but he wasn’t paying any attention to you his sole focus was on Sarah. 

“I just really wanted to have that sleepover you promised! My dad is going out tonight and suggested it would be a good time for us to hang out and -“

“But only if you are available and want to,” Joel interrupted.

“Oh, yeah! That sounds like it could be fun. Why don’t I come over around 5ish and we can order some pizza?” You smiled at her. 

It would be much more comfortable without Joel there, you had felt like you were walking on eggshells when he would pop over to have a beer with Jake or help Kelsey fix things around the house. 

Joel nodded. 

“Alright baby girl, time to get you to school,” he began shuffling Sarah out the door. 

“See you tonight!” Sarah called over her shoulder. 

You waved at her in response and when the door clicked closed you pinched the bridge of your nose. 

“You know, she really did miss having you around,” Kels leaned against the doorway behind you. 

“I know,” You sighed, “I just don’t know what I’m getting myself into.”

“What do you mean? You’ve known her since she was just a little kid. You’re not getting yourself into anything except maybe forgiving yourself for hurting her.” Kelsey said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. 

“You don’t fucking get it! This isn’t a permanent solution. I can’t stay, I don’t belong here anymore! I don’t want to get her hopes up that I might by hanging out with her and letting things go back to the way they were. That will just hurt her again.” You snapped, a pang of annoyance in your chest.

“You being here and ignoring her, it hurts them both. You can talk a big game about how you don’t belong here, but this is your home, your family. I don’t know what happened between you and Joel, but it is clear he still cares about you. Is staying really the worst thing? At least thinking about it?” 

“They are not my family, you and Jake absolutely are. And you’re right, maybe this was home once, but it’s not anymore. All that’s left is a permanent scar of what could have been. Now, if you’ll excuse me,” You turned to walk up the stairs. 

Kelsey came and put her hand over yours on the railing. 

“Look I’m sorry if I overstepped. I only want to see you happy,” Her voice was soft and apologetic. 

You just nodded in response and made your way back up the stairs, once in your room you made your way to the bed and cried into your pillow. You knew the love for Austin was there, it had always been there, but so was the hurt. The pain would always be there too, it painted your soul in blues and grays. That’s the hardest part, how beautifully life painted your anguish here. 

The day came and went quickly, and you felt unprepared for your sleepover with Sarah. You knew it would be nice to hang out, do face masks and watch a few movies, but your anxiety was palpable. You were worried it would feel like grasping at a life you could’ve had, but were strictly denied. 

You made your way next door around five and before you could even knock the door had swung open and Sarah was pulling you inside. 

“You’re here! Finally, I’ve been thinking about what we could do tonight all day. Dad said he would call a few pizzas in, we went to CVS after school too! I got nail polish, face masks, and some weird snacks,” Sarah spoke excitedly. 

It gave you a bit of whiplash, barely able to even get in a few “Alrights” or “Sounds Fun”’s in. 

“Woah, woah, Sarah slow down,” Joel said as you made your way into their living room. 

He was sitting on the couch in a black t-shirt and Levis, his hair was wet and the messy ways were pushed off his forehead. He was still so devilishly handsome, he never tried too hard with his looks, but that didn’t mean he didn’t look good; it arguably made him more attractive. 

“A’right, I’m going to get outta here,” He put his hands on his lap and made his way to stand, “Tommy is gonna be here any second.” 

“Dad, did you remember to order pizza?” Sarah asked with a hint of annoyance. 

“Oh shit,” he felt his pockets pulling out his phone, “I’ll call on the way over to the bar.”

“Don’t worry about it, Joel. I’ll get it,” You smiled softly at him, pulling out your own phone. 

“Y’sure?” He asked. 

“Yes, yes, she’s sure, now, go have fun. We have a very important girls night to get started on.” Sarah shooed her father toward the door.

Joel just laughed and rolled his eyes, you shrugged in response. 

As soon as you heard the door shut Sarah came rushing back to the living room. 

“Sorry, he’s a mess,” Sarah laughed.

“I can see that nothing has changed,” You laughed with her. 

You both fell into a comfortable conversation, it was nice to see Sarah so happy. She was completely different then when you had left, yet somehow exactly the same. 

The night was spent watching cheesy rom-coms, doing face masks and nails, and eventually Sarah had fallen asleep in her pajamas on the couch. It was nearly one in the morning, you placed a blanket over her small frame and began quietly tidying the living room. 

The night had warmed your heart in a way you weren’t sure you’d be able to feel again. Sarah was such a light in your life for so long, and now she was turning into this beautiful and kind teenager. You had talked all about her school, Joel and Tommy’s shenanigans, and what’s been happening around Austin. She didn’t push you though, you had talked about Toronto and being away from home without delving into any fresh wounds.

 It was nice, it felt good to know when you left it wasn’t your last memory of Sarah. You worried for years it had been and you’d have to watch her grow through the lens of your brother, but here she was in the flesh. 

You sighed, putting the leftover pizza in the fridge and pouring any extra soda from your glasses down the drain. You went and checked on Sarah after you had finished cleaning up to make sure she was still sleeping. She hadn’t even stirred, so you took this as the best opportunity to step outside and have a smoke. 

It wasn’t something you were proud of, but was something that you would normally only do after particularly stressful days. Today would classify as one, you didn’t like fighting with Kels. That, plus the anxiety of coming to the Miller’s and not knowing what to expect, warranted a need to de-stress. 

You made your way into the backyard, only closing the screen door in case Sarah woke up, and placed a cigarette between your lips. Just as you were searching through your bag for a light a voice startled you. 

“Hey, I didn’t know you smoked?” Joel. 

Fuck, you knew he probably wouldn’t have been much later, but it felt pathetic to be sneaking a cigarette on his back porch. 

“Not often, but you’d be surprised how common it is in healthcare.” You said finding the lighter and lighting the end. 

He looked at you for a moment, and you realized maybe he didn’t want you smoking on his back porch. 

“Oh, shit sorry, you okay if I-“ 

“Oh, yeah, I don’t really care,” he hurried before you could finish your question.

“Cool,” you said. 

The silence grew uncomfortable between you two. 

“I, uh, didn’t mean to startle y’a there,” Joel said. 

“Oh,” 

“I just saw the light on and wondered if you were out here.” 

“And here I was…”

“Here you were,” He shifted, “You always loved it back here. Sitting looking up at the stars after Sarah went to bed.”

“Yeah, I think I missed the stars the most while I was in Toronto,” you sighed. 

“I always thought they’d’ve had more stars up there,” he looked up at the sky. 

You had finished about half of the cigarette and put it out, it wasn’t doing anything for you at the moment except make you want to shower. 

“Not in the city, it was like a shitty, colder, New York,” You laughed. 

Joel chuckled at your comment. He came closer to you and leaned on the railing of the deck with you. It felt almost suffocating, he was so close to you and it felt so intimate. 

“Y’know, we’re really happy you’re here,” He said quietly. 

“Joel, don’t…” you warned. 

“I mean it, Sarah never stopped asking about you. She missed you, this girl's night made her whole year.” 

“Joel, please,” you whispered, tears welling in your eyes. You already carried so much guilt for leaving Sarah with nothing but a goodbye. You knew he was trying to comfort you but he was crushing your soul with guilt instead. 

“I’m sorry darlin’ I just… always asked myself what if things were different. Where we would be, how would Sarah be different if you had stayed,” 

His words ignited a fire within you, one that burned in anger and resentment. Who was he to ask what if, when he gave no choice in whether or not you had a chance at finding out. 

“We could talk about maybes and what ifs until we’re blue in the face, it doesn’t turn back time. Doesn’t change anything between us. You made a choice, Joel, and so you don’t get the what if’s,” You snapped. 

He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. 

“I’m allowed to wonder,” He retorted. “You weren’t the only one hurt, y’know?”

“Well guess what, I wasn’t the one that wanted out when things got a little bit complicated.”

“Wanted out? You think I wanted out?! Fucking Christ, I didn’t want to hold you back. I have no choice but to stay in Austin, letting you go meant that you wouldn’t be tied down here!” His voice was quiet, but he was clearly irritated.

“I didn’t need you to let me go, I’m very capable of making my own choices. And if I had chosen to stay I needed you to tell me everything would be okay.” 

You weren’t speaking in a hushed tone like he was. You were frustrated, angry, he had completely backtracked on your breakup. Tears stung your eyes, you were frustrated and confused. 

“I’m done talking about this, Joel,” You said, wiping the tears away from your eyes. “You said your piece five years ago, and nothing is going to change that.”

You turned to head back inside, now that he was here you’d be able to walk back over to Jake’s and go to sleep. Make an attempt at forgetting this conversation ever happened and pretend your night ended with you and Sarah asleep on the couch. 

Joel grabbed your wrist before you got too far. 

“Please, just let me explain.” He pleaded. 

You pulled your wrist from his grip and left as promptly as you came. 

Your chest was tight and it was as if you could feel your heart shattering all over again into a million little pieces. The ghost of his love haunted you for years. He was still the same man you fell in love with, that much was certain. In that, it also meant, he was still the same man who broke your heart. 

And that was a risk you were not willing to take. 

To spiral out, to try and float, to see a friend, to see a ghost.

Solarpunk … orthodontics?

My jaw hurts.

It’s hurt for decades; I started clenching it at night when I was asleep when I was a preteen. This coincided with several factors, none of which I think are wholly the source but were probably contributors to the issue: we had just moved cities and I was under a ton of stress moving to a new neighbourhood and starting at a new school for the first time, I had just begun an orthodontics saga of many years which started with wearing headgear to forcibly shove my upper back molars further back into my skull in order to make room for the rest of my upper teeth to move backwards (with the eventual help of braces) to correct an overbite that was starting to affect my bite, and that I was an extremely anxious eldest child. Looking back, it’s clear I was on the spectrum and had a diagnosable anxiety disorder. But discovering that would be much further in the future.

All I knew at the time was that my jaw hurt. I told my dentist and orthodontist and they recommended I sleep on my back, so that I would have less chance of clenching. I did this, and still to this day must choose: do I sleep clenching my jaw, or with my mouth wide open? I have a choice between a) painful muscles or b) terrible breath in the morning + slowly yellowing teeth. Hoorah. I wasn’t given any other advice.

It is at this point that I would have liked any of the professionals involved in the process to have talked to me about the ramifications of seriously and irrevocably altering the shape of my jaw on the surrounding musculature but frankly, I’m not sure they were trained to do that. And by “that” I mean talking to children, communicating professional knowledge to a lay audience, and knowing about the muscles of the face all at the same time.

I would hope that in a future solarpunk society, there would be people with those skillsets employed by health professionals to communicate and emphasize a more holistic look at healthcare - in a way that meets people where they’re at. I was thirteen; I wasn’t ready to hear or understand even the little that dentists would tell me now in my late thirties. I needed someone skilled to discuss this with me. The braces and headgear needed to happen: my bite was getting painful, my overbite was growing so extreme. But even a knowledge of the side effects would have been empowering to me, as a child. I had very little say in any of this process, though I got to pick the colour of the elastics around my braces, yay.

My jaw still hurt.

In the early days of 2012, I woke up one morning and couldn’t chew my food without pain: not even soft foods such as pancakes were safe. I made an emergency appointment with my dentist at the time, who quickly assessed the issue and whipped up a mouthguard for me. I didn’t have insurance at the time (having aged out of my parents’ coverage, and none afforded by my college), and the dentist was sensitive to that, and gave me a discount. Bless him; I’m sure he’s long retired, but I hope that if that little family dentist office off the Danforth in Toronto is still in operation, that it’s seeing some good years.

Wearing a mouthguard every single night to bed wasn’t foreign to me, because I’d worn the retainer I was given after my braces came off religiously for many years until about two years before this. I still wear a retainer to this day: it not only makes it so that I am not clenching quite as hard, but it saves my teeth from the bone-cracking pressure. (I was informed by my current dentist that clenching my teeth is a major contributor to my receding gums, which is a current dental issue I have, yay again.)

My jaw still hurts now, though.

In that future solarpunk world, I’m sure young people wouldn’t wake up with debilitating pain in their jaw and be forced to think above all else about how this is a financial setback. In a future solarpunk world, I would hope that insurance coverage would be a thing of the past, as it would be unnecessary. I don’t know how the details of that would work out. I just know it would save so many young people from worsening the anxiety that was already so bad that it led to jaw pain.

When I moved to a new city and saw a new chiropractor, he would help me to mobilize and relieve the tension somewhat in those muscles at the end of each appointment. It helped, somewhat, especially to mitigate the damage caused by the stress of graduate school - and then a car accident, and then COVID.

I was finally diagnosed with an anxiety disorder several years ago, and though I’m mitigating it to my best abilities, I haven’t stopped clenching my jaw while I sleep, or during the day subconsciously. I’m still searching for some sort of relief other than constantly wearing my nightguard, which is just an automatic thing that I do after brushing my teeth every night. (I don’t think that this sort of wearable tech makes me a cyborg, just a boring responsible person.)

In a solarpunk world, many people are going to need dental surgery. Many people are going to need orthodontic interventions. It’s just a fact. But what can we do now to make sure that the dentists and orthodontists of the future actually work to make their patients’ lives better, not just their teeth?

This is my two cents’ worth. What do you think?

PS: I should mention that though I live in Canada, dental is not covered by our (ailing, politically besieged) social healthcare system.

Todd is back at it again. I’d like to think Wallace got black out drunk again so Todd tucked him into bed but yeah, Todd’s being creepy again.

You described the scene perfectly, Anon! Wallace is indeed quite drunk after partying until 4 AM, so Todd just spawned at his place to check on him, tuck him into bed properly and look at his cute sleeping face for a minute. So romantic <3 And so creepy.

Do you believe in Roxie x Hollie? Would Hollie make a move on Roxie?

A part of me really wants to believe because of how hot Hollie is, but something tells me that Roxie isn’t exactly her type… (Maybe it’s because the only thing I know about Hollie is what happened between her and Kim and that guy in the comic lol)

But that doesn’t mean that Roxie shouldn’t try to flirt with her! In fact, Roxie should flirt with every girlie in Toronto because she deserves it. If Hollie made a move on Roxie that would be interesting though.

Ngl, that Trey/Idia pic reminds me of going to the dentist and they think they can somehow fit both hands in your mouth. And they expect you to be able to talk while they’re doing it. Although that also sounds like a Trey-coded thing to do, if I’m being honest.

If there is anything we learned about Trey after that teeth-checking vignette, it’s that it’s just a force of habit! It’s not his fault! His hands just slipped! Both of them – into your mouth! Oops!

I want all of us to have someone in our lives who believes in us the way the dentists believe that you could still talk with two hands in there lol

blackbutlerfandomnerddomain asked:

I just saw your TreyIdia art and all I can think of (cause I'm a weirdo) is Riddle catching wind Idia finds Trey hot and Trey is interested in Idia's teeth so he starts chewing on things near Trey, pens, his fingers, the fork while he's eating cake, the works. Idia get jealous and eats suckers the same way. And somehow it led to them even fighting over trey in the bedroom XD

I want to take the scenario you’ve just described and put it inside of Trey’s wet dream just so he wakes up all confused about what’s going on and starts reflecting on his kinks and fixations, because wow there was a lot of teeth in this dream + Riddle and Idia fighting over him in the bedroom… that’s going to make it impossible for him to look at these two lol so shameful, as if he didn’t find that hot.

Has there ever been a character that you simply cannot figure out is a bottom or top even now?

There definitely has, but I can’t really remember any good example of that, because for a lot of them we come back like 5 years later and go “wait, it’s obvious, isn’t it?”. Or it simply happens when we learn more about him. A lot of times the characters’ “position” reflects his dynamic in our favourite ships with him, so it helps a lot with figuring it out.

I think we had a couple of those in Hetalia but we figured it out eventually lol

What You Need to Know About the Services Offered by a Family Dentist in Toronto

When it comes to maintaining good oral health, having a reliable family dentist in Toronto is paramount for families of all shapes and sizes. A family dentist provides a wide range of services that cater to the needs of patients at every stage of life. From children to adults, a family dentist can help ensure that every member of the family maintains optimal oral hygiene and overall health. This article will delve into the various services offered by family dentists and the importance of regular dental visits.

Comprehensive Dental Examinations

One of the cornerstone services provided by family dentists is comprehensive dental examinations. During these visits, dentists assess the overall health of their patients' teeth and gums. This includes checking for cavities, gum disease, and any potential oral health issues that may require attention. Regular dental examinations are crucial because they allow for early detection of problems, which can prevent more severe issues down the line.

Additionally, these examinations often include professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup. This cleaning process not only helps to maintain a bright smile but also plays a vital role in preventing gum disease. Family dentists in Toronto understand the importance of these routine check-ups and work to create a comfortable environment for patients, especially for children who may be nervous about visiting the dentist for the first time.

Pediatric Dentistry Services

Family dentists are uniquely equipped to cater to the dental needs of children. Pediatric dentistry services are a significant aspect of what family dentists provide. These services typically include preventive care such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants, which are designed to protect young teeth from decay.

Moreover, family dentists often focus on educating both parents and children about proper oral hygiene practices. Teaching children how to brush and floss effectively sets the foundation for a lifetime of good habits. Family dentists can also address common concerns parents may have regarding their children's oral health, such as teething, thumb-sucking, and the transition to braces. By offering specialized care for younger patients, family dentists play a critical role in ensuring that children's teeth develop properly and stay healthy throughout their formative years.

Restorative Dentistry

In addition to preventive care, family dentists provide restorative dentistry services to address issues that may arise over time. Restorative procedures include fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. These services are essential for repairing damaged teeth and restoring functionality to a patient's bite.

For instance, if a patient has a cavity, a family dentist can efficiently perform a filling to restore the tooth's structure and prevent further decay. Similarly, patients who experience more significant tooth loss may benefit from crowns or bridges, which help to restore their smile and improve their ability to chew. Family dentists prioritize the comfort and satisfaction of their patients while providing these restorative services, ensuring that every treatment plan is tailored to meet individual needs.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Family dentists also offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services that can enhance the appearance of a patient's smile. This is particularly appealing to adults who may be looking to boost their confidence and improve their overall aesthetic. Cosmetic options can include teeth whitening, bonding, and veneers, all of which aim to address concerns such as discoloration, gaps, or misalignment.

Teeth whitening, for example, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Family dentists use professional-grade products to achieve a noticeable difference in the brightness of a patient's smile, often within a single appointment. Additionally, bonding and veneers can effectively mask imperfections in teeth, providing a quick and effective solution for those seeking a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Orthodontic Services

Another important aspect of family dentistry is the provision of orthodontic services. Many family dentists offer braces and other orthodontic appliances, ensuring that patients can achieve a straight and healthy smile without needing to visit multiple specialists. This is particularly beneficial for families, as it allows them to receive comprehensive care under one roof.

Family dentists typically evaluate a child's dental alignment during routine check-ups and can recommend orthodontic treatment when necessary. They guide families through the entire process, from the initial consultation to the completion of treatment. By offering in-house orthodontic services, family dentists make it easier for families to manage their dental care, reducing the stress associated with coordinating appointments across different providers.

Emergency Dental Services

Accidents happen, and when they do, having a family dentist who offers emergency services can be invaluable. Whether it's a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or any other dental emergency, family dentists are prepared to provide timely care to alleviate pain and address urgent issues.

Understanding that dental emergencies can occur at any moment, many family dentists in Toronto strive to offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate patients in distress. This commitment to patient care ensures that families can rely on their family dentist for not only routine visits but also unexpected situations that require immediate attention.

Conclusion

In summary, family dentists in Toronto provide an extensive range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of families. From comprehensive examinations and pediatric care to restorative and cosmetic dentistry, these dental professionals play an essential role in maintaining oral health across all age groups. They are committed to providing quality care in a welcoming and friendly environment, making dental visits a positive experience for patients young and old. For families seeking a dedicated and versatile dental practice, Greensborough Dental stands out as a reliable choice. Their commitment to patient care ensures that every family member receives the attention and treatment they deserve, promoting lasting oral health and beautiful smiles.

Importance of Sharing Your Medical History with Your Emergency Dentist Toronto

At one moment things may be perfect and in the next instant an aching, a loose tooth, or even a swelling will send you looking for help. In this situation, an urgent care medical or emergency dentist near me in Toronto is the way to go.

Patients often forget the most simple and important act of informing their providers about their medical and oral history to provide the best cure rather than causing further harm. This is because your medical history is significant to them and is a prerequisite to having the proper knowledge of health background to give treatment. 

Let's go further and delve into why it is not only important but also totally necessary for your health during an emergency.

How Patient History Influences Emergency Dentistry

Helps Pinpoint the Root Cause of the Problem

If you are in pain, it is easy to concentrate wholly on what hurts, but knowing why is essential too. Toothache: does it relate to hitting or cracking the tooth, gum infection, or previous dental work? The dentist treating an emergency case now knows your dental history and has a chance to surmise possible underlying causes. 

This might include previous incidents of root canals and dental surgeries that would indicate recurring issues and provide a good groundwork for a treatment plan. Without such context, the diagnosis would take longer and thus prolong your project's suffering.

Prevents Dangerous Medication Reactions

You will need medication such as painkillers, antibiotics, or anesthesia during emergency treatment sessions. An unknown medical background does prevent dentists from offhandedly providing prescriptions that could aggravate existing conditions or medications.

Disclose details on allergies, chronic illnesses, and medications to avoid adverse reactions. The best practitioners in Emergency Dentistry Toronto are fully into safety, but can only do so with the information you provide. Disclose honestly, because it not only protects you but it could save your life.

Streamlines the Emergency Process

Each second counts in a dental emergency. Fairly simply, if you know you have a tooth infection rather than a crack in your enamel, of course, you want to see a dentist as soon as possible.

A clear history instantly provides all necessary information without needing guesswork or time delays. Patients seeking urgent dental care receive prepared documentation from their dentist which contains their previous treatments and health descriptions along with tolerance records.

Dentists become able to tackle the current issue with a singular focus because you've provided them with a detailed plan.

Aids in Planning Long-Term Solutions

Emergencies are immediate, but they often have long-term implications. Addressing a cracked tooth or infection might require follow-up care or even restorative treatments. 

If the dentist knows your previous experiences with dental crowns, veneers, or other procedures, they can suggest solutions that work for your unique needs. 

This is particularly valuable if you’re considering combining emergency treatment with cosmetic dentistry services in Toronto, such as improving your smile while fixing an urgent issue.

Builds Trust and Comfort During Stressful Times

A visit to an emergency dentist can be overwhelming, especially when you’re in pain or worried about what’s wrong. But sharing your history builds trust with the dentist. It shows that you’re invested in your care and allows the dentist to tailor their approach to your needs. 

Open communication fosters a sense of partnership, making you feel more at ease in an otherwise stressful situation. And when you feel comfortable, the entire process—from diagnosis to treatment, flows more smoothly.

Reduces the Risk of Misdiagnosis

A rushed visit to an emergency dentist can sometimes lead to confusion in identifying the exact issue, especially when symptoms overlap. By providing a detailed history of previous dental problems or conditions, the dentist can eliminate unlikely causes and narrow down the diagnosis. 

For instance, recurring tooth sensitivity could be related to worn enamel or prior fillings, helping the dentist determine the best course of action quickly and effectively. This minimizes unnecessary procedures and ensures a faster resolution of your discomfort.

Ensures Effective Pain Management

Pain relief is often the top priority in a dental emergency. However, not all pain management methods are suitable for every patient. 

Sharing your medical history, especially details about allergies, past adverse reactions, or resistance to certain medications, helps the dentist choose the most effective and safe option for you. 

For example, if you've experienced side effects from opioids or NSAIDs, the dentist can explore alternative pain relief strategies, ensuring your comfort without compromising your health.

Assists in Identifying Hidden Health Conditions

Your dental health can sometimes reflect broader medical conditions, such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases, which might influence emergency treatment. 

For example, uncontrolled diabetes could slow wound healing or increase the risk of infection. By disclosing your medical history, the dentist can tailor their approach to accommodate these factors, providing treatment that accounts for your overall health and not just the immediate dental issue.

Supports Insurance and Documentation Needs

Emergencies often come with unexpected costs, and having a record of your dental and medical history can streamline insurance claims or reimbursements. 

Your history ensures that procedures performed during emergency care align with your existing treatment records, reducing the likelihood of disputes with insurers. 

Moreover, maintaining updated documentation helps the Downtown Toronto dentist prepare detailed records for your future reference, making ongoing care more seamless.

Final Words

Emergencies don’t come with a warning, but preparation can make all the difference. When visiting an emergency dentist Toronto, sharing your medical and dental history is more than a formality, it’s the key to effective, safe, and personalized care. 

From identifying the root cause of pain to avoiding medication conflicts and planning long-term solutions, your history guides the dentist every step of the way.

So, the next time you’re faced with a dental crisis, remember that being open about your past treatments and health conditions isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.

Regain Your Confidence with Dental Implants: A Smile Makeover Journey

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and it plays a significant role in your self-esteem and confidence. Missing teeth can hinder not just your smile but also your ability to chew and speak comfortably. Dental implants offer a transformative solution for anyone looking to restore their smile and improve their quality of life. If you’ve been considering dental implants in Etobicoke, this guide will walk you through the benefits, the process, and why it’s a worthwhile investment in yourself.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of three main components:

Titanium Post: This serves as the root of the implant and is surgically placed into your jawbone.

Abutment: This connector attaches to the titanium post and supports the crown.

Crown: Custom-designed to look and feel like a natural tooth, this is the visible part of the implant.

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are permanent, providing unmatched stability and functionality. They integrate seamlessly with your jawbone, promoting bone health and preventing further deterioration.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Dental Implants

Opting for dental implants offers numerous benefits that go beyond aesthetics:

Improved Confidence: A complete, radiant smile restores your self-assurance in social and professional interactions.

Enhanced Oral Health: Dental implants preserve the integrity of your jawbone and surrounding teeth.

Natural Appearance and Functionality: Implants look, feel, and function like real teeth, allowing you to eat and speak effortlessly.

Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants is a multi-step journey tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Here’s what to expect:

Consultation and Evaluation: During your initial visit, our experienced dentist in Etobicoke will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan.

Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically inserted into your jawbone. This step is performed under local anesthesia for your comfort.

Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This ensures a stable foundation for the crown.

Crown Placement: Once healed, the custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing your new tooth.

Our team at Kailash Dentistry ensures every step of the process is seamless and comfortable, helping you achieve the smile you deserve.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a versatile solution for most people dealing with tooth loss. Ideal candidates should:

Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support the implant.

Commit to good oral hygiene practices.

Be in overall good health, as certain medical conditions may affect healing.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for overall health, and choosing the right dental hygienist in Toronto can make a significant difference in achieving your dental health goals. With numerous dental clinics and specialists available in the city, finding the perfect match for your needs can feel overwhelming. This guide will help you understand the role of dental hygienists, what to look for in a professional, and how they contribute to your long-term oral health.

The Role of a Dental Hygienist

A dental hygienist is a licensed oral health professional who focuses on preventive care. They work closely with dentists to provide services such as teeth cleaning, oral health assessments, and education on proper oral hygiene practices. In Toronto, dental hygienists are highly trained and must meet the regulatory standards set by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO).

Their primary responsibilities include:

Teeth Cleaning and Polishing: Removing plaque and tartar buildup to prevent cavities and gum disease.

Oral Health Education: Offering guidance on brushing, flossing, and maintaining a healthy diet.

Screening for Oral Issues: Identifying signs of gum disease, cavities, and other dental problems.

Preventive Treatments: Applying fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect teeth from decay.

Experts at Dental Centres explain that regular visits to a dental hygienist can significantly reduce the risk of oral health problems and contribute to a brighter smile.

Why Choose a Dental Hygienist in Toronto?

Toronto is home to world-class dental professionals, including skilled dental hygienists who use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. Whether you live in downtown Toronto or its surrounding neighborhoods, there are numerous clinics offering personalized care to meet your needs.

Choosing a dental hygienist in Toronto ensures access to:

Culturally Diverse Practices: Many dental clinics cater to Toronto's multicultural population, offering multilingual services for better communication.

Convenient Locations: With numerous clinics spread across the city, you can find one close to work, home, or school.

Cutting-Edge Technology: Toronto dental hygienists often use the latest tools and equipment to deliver high-quality care.

Flexible Scheduling: Many practices offer evening and weekend appointments to accommodate busy lifestyles.

Tips for Selecting the Right Dental Hygienist

Finding the right dental hygienist involves more than just proximity to your location. Consider these factors to ensure a positive experience:

Credentials and Licensing: Verify that the hygienist is registered with the CDHO, which ensures they meet provincial standards of practice.

Experience and Specialization: Some dental hygienists specialize in areas like pediatric care, geriatric dentistry, or periodontal health. Choose one who aligns with your specific needs.

Patient Reviews: Check online reviews and testimonials to gauge the quality of care provided by the clinic. Find out more. 

Comfort and Communication: A good dental hygienist takes the time to explain procedures and answer questions, making patients feel comfortable.

Hygiene and Safety Standards: Ensure that the clinic follows strict infection control protocols to safeguard your health.

Benefits of Regular Visits to a Dental Hygienist

Seeing a dental hygienist regularly offers several advantages:

Prevention of Gum Disease: Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, which are major contributors to gum disease.

Early Detection of Oral Issues: Regular check-ups can identify potential problems before they become serious.

Improved Aesthetic Appeal: Removing stains and polishing teeth leaves you with a brighter, more confident smile.

Better Overall Health: Oral health is linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes, making regular care essential for your general well-being.

Affordable Dental Hygiene Services in Toronto

Cost is often a concern when seeking dental care, but many clinics in Toronto offer affordable options without compromising quality. Some practices also accept dental insurance plans, making it easier to access essential services.

Additionally, you can find independent dental hygiene clinics in Toronto that focus solely on preventive care, often at lower costs compared to full-service dental offices. These clinics provide high-quality cleaning and education tailored to individual needs.

Making Oral Health a Priority

Investing in your oral health by visiting a dental hygienist in Toronto is a step toward a healthier, happier life. Whether you're due for a routine cleaning or need guidance on improving your oral hygiene habits, Toronto's dental professionals are here to help.

Start by researching local clinics, reading reviews, and scheduling a consultation to find a hygienist who fits your needs. With their expertise and personalized care, you can achieve optimal oral health and maintain a radiant smile for years to come.

[bathurstwesterndental]

Maintaining good oral health is essential, and regular dental check-ups play a crucial role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy. But how often should you schedule a visit to the dentist?

Most dental experts recommend getting a check-up every six to twelve months. For many individuals, a routine check-up every six months is ideal to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. However, if you have specific conditions like gum disease, cavities, or other dental concerns, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

Comprehensive Dental Care in Toronto: A Guide to Optimal Oral Health

When it comes to maintaining a healthy smile, finding the right dentist is crucial. In a bustling city like Toronto, where healthcare standards are high, dental care plays a significant role in overall health and well-being. Whether you're seeking routine cleanings, emergency care, or specialized treatments, the right dentist can ensure that your oral health is in top condition. This article will delve into the importance of dental care in Toronto, the range of services offered by dentist in Toronto, and tips for selecting the best dental practice to meet your needs.

Why Dental Care is Essential

Maintaining good oral health goes beyond having a bright, beautiful smile. Oral health is a key indicator of overall health. Poor dental hygiene can lead to a variety of issues, including gum disease, cavities, and even heart problems. Regular visits to the dentist help prevent these problems and ensure that any potential issues are caught early.

Toronto is home to some of the best dental practices in Canada, with many dentists offering a range of services to cater to various patient needs. From pediatric care to advanced cosmetic procedures, Toronto’s dental professionals are well-equipped to handle the diverse needs of its residents.

The Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Health

It's easy to overlook the importance of oral hygiene, but its impact on overall health is significant. Gum disease, for example, has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and even complications during pregnancy. Bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream and contribute to inflammation throughout the body, leading to serious health concerns. By maintaining regular dental checkups, individuals can minimize these risks and keep their mouths—and bodies—healthy.

Common Dental Services in Toronto

Toronto dentists offer a wide range of services designed to address both preventive and corrective dental needs. Here’s a look at some of the most common services provided:

1. Preventive Care

Preventive care is the cornerstone of dental health, and Toronto dentists excel in this area. Routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental exams help prevent the onset of gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues. Many dentists also offer sealants, which can be applied to the teeth to prevent decay, especially in children.

2. Cosmetic Dentistry

Toronto is home to a number of highly skilled cosmetic dentists who specialize in treatments designed to improve the appearance of your smile. Services such as teeth whitening, veneers, and dental bonding are popular choices for patients looking to enhance their teeth’s appearance. Whether you're seeking to fix chipped teeth, close gaps, or achieve a whiter smile, Toronto’s cosmetic dentists can help.

3. Orthodontics

For individuals dealing with misaligned teeth or jaw problems, orthodontic treatment is essential. Many Toronto dental practices offer orthodontic services, including traditional braces and Invisalign. Orthodontic treatment not only improves the appearance of the teeth but also enhances function, making it easier to chew and speak properly.

4. Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry involves treatments that repair damaged or decayed teeth. Common restorative procedures include fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canals. Toronto dentists use the latest technology and materials to ensure that these restorations are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

5. Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. In Toronto, dental implant procedures have become increasingly popular due to their effectiveness and natural appearance. Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth, helping to restore function and appearance.

6. Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and Toronto is home to numerous clinics offering emergency services. Whether it’s a broken tooth, severe toothache, or a knocked-out tooth, having access to prompt care can make a huge difference in saving your tooth and relieving pain.

Choosing the Right Dentist in Toronto

Finding the right dentist in Toronto can be a daunting task, especially with so many options available. Here are some tips to help you choose a dental practice that meets your needs:

1. Check Qualifications and Experience

When looking for a dentist, it’s important to ensure that they have the proper qualifications and certifications. Dentists in Toronto are required to be licensed by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO), which ensures they meet high standards of practice. Additionally, it’s worth considering how long the dentist has been practicing and their areas of expertise. Some dentists may specialize in cosmetic dentistry, while others might focus on pediatric care or orthodontics.

2. Consider the Services Offered

Not all dental practices offer the same services. If you’re looking for specific treatments, such as orthodontics or cosmetic dentistry, it’s important to choose a dentist who specializes in those areas. Additionally, if you have children, it’s worth finding a family dentist who can provide care for patients of all ages.

3. Read Reviews and Testimonials

One of the best ways to assess the quality of a dental practice is by reading patient reviews and testimonials. Toronto is home to many highly-rated dental clinics, and reviews can provide insight into the level of care, professionalism, and patient satisfaction at a particular practice.

4. Location and Accessibility

In a large city like Toronto, convenience is key. Choosing a dental practice that is close to your home or workplace can make scheduling appointments easier. Additionally, consider the practice’s hours of operation and whether they offer emergency services.

5. Technology and Cleanliness

The best dental practices in Toronto use modern technology to enhance patient care. From digital X-rays to laser dentistry, these advancements make treatments more efficient and comfortable. When visiting a dental office, take note of the cleanliness and organization of the clinic, as this reflects the level of care provided.

Maintaining Oral Health Between Visits

While regular dental checkups are important, maintaining oral health between visits is equally crucial. Here are some tips to keep your mouth healthy:

Brush twice a day: Use fluoride toothpaste and brush for at least two minutes each time.

Floss daily: Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between your teeth, areas that brushing can't reach.

Limit sugary foods and drinks: Sugary foods and drinks contribute to tooth decay, so it’s best to limit your intake and rinse your mouth after consuming them.

Stay hydrated: Drinking water helps wash away food particles and bacteria from your mouth.

Replace your toothbrush: Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.

Conclusion

Dental care is an essential part of overall health, and in a city like Toronto, access to high-quality dental services is readily available. Whether you need routine preventive care, cosmetic enhancements, or emergency treatment, Toronto’s dentists are well-equipped to provide exceptional care. By choosing the right dentist and maintaining good oral hygiene habits, you can ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Importance of Teeth Scaling for Periodontal Health

Teeth scaling is vital to maintaining good periodontal health. It’s a procedure that helps remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of teeth and below the gum line. While regular brushing and flossing are essential, they may not permanently remove all the harmful substances that can lead to gum disease. Cumberland Periodontics actively addresses patients with Teeth Scaling concerns in Toronto.

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. When not removed, it can harden into tartar, which is much more difficult to clean. Tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This condition can cause gums to become inflamed, bleed, and even pull away from the teeth. If left untreated, it may result in tooth loss. If you live in Toronto, you can get treated at Cumberland Periodontics, which looks into teeth scaling in Toronto.

Teeth scaling goes deeper than a regular cleaning. Dentists attending to teeth scaling in Toronto use special tools, such as a toothbrush, to remove tartar from hard-to-reach areas, including areas below the gum line, where plaque and tartar can cause the most damage. By removing these deposits, scaling helps prevent gum disease and its progression. Teeth scaling also helps reduce bad breath, a common issue caused by plaque and tartar buildup. When bacteria accumulate in the mouth, they produce unpleasant odours. Patients in need of teeth scaling in Toronto can visit Cumberland Periodontics. Scaling removes these bacteria, helping to keep your breath fresh.

Gum disease starts with gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal disease. Gingivitis is characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed during brushing or flossing. The condition is reversible at this stage with proper care, including teeth scaling. Gingivitis can advance to periodontitis, a more severe gum disease without treatment. Periodontitis affects the bones and tissues that support teeth, leading to tooth mobility and, eventually, tooth loss. In addition to preventing gum disease, teeth scaling plays a role in overall health. Studies have shown a connection between periodontal disease and other health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes. Regular scaling can help individuals lower their risk of developing these conditions by keeping gums healthy.

Teeth scaling is usually recommended as part of a comprehensive periodontal treatment plan. It may be combined with root planning, another procedure that smooths the surfaces of the teeth' roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth. Patients needing teeth scaling in Torontocan utilize this combination, often called deep cleaning, which is essential for managing more advanced cases of gum disease. The frequency of teeth scaling depends on the individual’s oral health. Some people may need scaling every few months, while others can go longer between treatments. Regular dental check-ups are essential for determining the proper schedule.

Teeth scaling is generally safe and effective, but it’s important to have it done by a professional. For example, Cumberland Periodontics performed teeth scaling in Toronto. Dentists and dental hygienists have the proper training and tools to perform the procedure without damaging the teeth or gums. After scaling, patients may experience some sensitivity, but this usually subsides within a few days. Teeth scaling is a crucial step in maintaining periodontal health. It helps prevent gum disease, freshens breath, and improves overall well-being. Regular scaling and good oral hygiene practices can keep gums and teeth healthy for a long time.

If you’re in Toronto and concerned about your periodontal health, consider scheduling a teeth-scaling appointment with Cumberland Periodontics.
