You need to make sure that you are taking good care of your mouth at all times. Click here for some tips to ensure that your oral health is the best it can be.
Your mouth is one of the most important parts of your body, but it is also one of the easiest to care for. You need to make sure that you are always looking after your oral health. Neglecting it can give you a raft of health troubles.
Why It is Important
Overall, it is thought that Canadians have very good dental care, with over 75% of Canadians attending the dentist at least once a year. This is also a vast improvement over a couple of decades ago, and we will hopefully see improvements year on year.
Pain in your jaw caused by gum disease and other factors can be incredibly difficult to live with, but it is also really easy to avoid. With proper oral care and a diligent hygiene routine, you should be able to keep your mouth in good condition for the future. There are no excuses for poor oral hygiene – it is one of those adult responsibilities that we all need to take charge of.
Make Time for the Dentist
Other Canadians can manage a regular trip to the dentist – and you cannot be an exception to this. Even if you have the busiest of lives in Toronto, there is always going to be a way for you to make time for the dentist.
Whether you are popping into the North York dental clinic around the corner from your department or making an appointment you can easily get to from a Downtown office, there are plenty of professionals waiting to help you out. Your dentist is the best person to check that you are on the right track when it comes to caring for your oral health. Regular trips to see them, plus a commitment to following their advice, is going to put you on the right path for looking after your health.
Watch Your Diet
Many people think that they can maintain good oral health by just following a healthy diet. However, the best diets for your body overall might not be right for looking after your mouth.
If you eat a lot of fruit, you need to watch the sugar content of these fruits overall, as they can have quite the impact on your mouth. Likewise, you need to think about other foods that could be less than beneficial for your mouth’s health. Taking the time to learn about the best foods to boost your oral health and adding them into your diet is going to be a great move.
The health of your mouth can be an indicator into the health of the rest of your body, so you need to make sure that you are taking the best care of it. A regular routine of brushing and taking good care of your oral hygiene should be more than sufficient. There is always going to be a way for you to ensure that you are doing the utmost to keep your mouth as healthy as can be!

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada‘s health ministry said on Wednesday it would not restrict use of AstraZeneca Plc’s COVID-19 vaccine after a review showed the benefits outweighed the very rare risk of blood clots.
A separate advisory council had earlier recommended Canada stop offering the vaccine to people under 55. The panel is now reviewing that advice, the health ministry said in a statement.
Denmark on Wednesday became the first country to stop using the vaccine altogether over a potential link to the rare blood clots. Other nations have imposed limits on its use.
But Health Canada, the federal health ministry, said in a statement that a review of data from Europe, Britain and AstraZeneca had not identified specific risk factors.
“Therefore, Health Canada is not restricting the use of the vaccine in any specific populations at this time … The potential risk of these events is very rare, and the benefits of the vaccine in protecting against COVID-19 outweigh its potential risks,” it said.
Canada on Tuesday said it had recorded its first case of blood clotting with low platelets after someone received the AstraZeneca shot. The patient in question, a woman from Quebec, is recovering. (Graphic on vaccines: https://tmsnrt.rs/3tUM8ta)

(Reuters) -Some countries are restricting use of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to certain age groups or suspending use after European and British regulators confirmed possible links to rare blood clots.
Denmark became the first country to stop using the vaccine altogether, as it said results of investigations showed “real and serious side-effects”.
Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot vaccine has also been hit by concerns over blood clots, with European regulators reviewing such cases and U.S. federal health agencies recommending pausing its use for a few days. J&J noted no clear causal relationship had been established between the clots and its vaccine.
The developments pose a risk to vaccination plans in Europe.
Regulators have said the benefits of the AstraZeneca shot outweigh risks.
Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca said it was working with regulators to list the possible brain blood clots as “an extremely rare potential side effect” on the vaccines labels.
As of April 4, the European Medicines Agency had received reports of 169 cases of a rare brain blood clot known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), after 34 million doses had been administered in the European Economic Area. Most cases were in women under 60 years of age.
