Microplastics—tiny plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm—are found nearly everywhere in our environment, including the things we eat every day. Because your mouth is the first stop for food, drink and a lot of the air you inhale, it’s also a natural collection point.   The same sticky biofilm (plaque) that traps bacteria can also trap environmental debris, and rough tooth surfaces or deep gum pockets make that capture more likely. Emerging research suggests microplastics can co

Choosing between Invisalign and traditional braces depends on your goals, lifestyle and the complexity of your bite. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, which makes them popular with adults and image-conscious teens.

A bright, white smile is confidence-boosting, but everyday life works against it. Coffee, tea, red wine, berries and sauces leave pigments on enamel. Tobacco adds tenacious brown deposits. With age, enamel thins and reveals more of the naturally yellow dentin beneath. Some medicines during tooth development can cause internal discolouration. The good news is that most common stains are external and respond well to proven whitening methods. A quick exam helps determine whether
