We can finally swap our winter jackets for lighter clothing, enjoy more outdoor activities and soak in the sun.

It's the season we've all been waiting for; spring is finally here! With longer days and warmer weather, the days ahead are looking bright. We can finally swap our winter jackets for lighter clothing, enjoy outdoor exercises and soak in the sun. As we get ready for the upcoming Spring break for schools, we must stay resilient, safe and practice social distancing. Remember to make trips outside the house for essential reasons only, your children's dental appointment at Lawrence West Dental being one of them! Book an appointment for your children this spring break and ensure their teeth are in great condition for all the summer indulgence.
With Ontario's month long stay-at-home order issued on April 7th, it is imperative that if we step out, we only do so when needed and with utmost care. We at Lawrence West Dental wanted you to know that we are permitted to stay open at our regular hours and appointments will continue as normal. We are committed to follow infection control recommendations provided by the Ministry of Health, the Royal College of Dental Surgeons, and the Ontario Dental Association, and to keep you and everyone safe.

Stress brought on by the pandemic can directly affect your oral health by causing an increase in teeth grinding and jaw clenching, also known as bruxism. Take a look at our article below to see if you have the symptoms of bruxism, and contact our office to ask how we can help. April is also a good time to check-in with us on your overall oral health, whether it is for a dental cleaning or to help detect any potential issues. As always, prevention is better than cure, so book an appointment with us today!
Have a safe and healthy month
Sincerely,
Dr. Nick Babatsikos and Team

Is Stress During the Pandemic Causing You Pain?
With the additional stress we've all felt lately, have you found yourself grinding your teeth or clenching your jaws more? Do you experience increased facial pain?
Well, you're not alone and we can help!
This condition is known as bruxism, where you may unconsciously clench your teeth while you're awake or grind them during sleep. This can lead to other conditions such as sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, headaches, damaged teeth, and other oral health problems.
