The Alberta Dental Association recommends you see your dental team at least two times per year. These visits should include a cleaning with your dental hygienist and a checkup with your dentist. Seeing us twice a year at minimum helps us keep you in good oral health. Gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar to help prevent gum disease. These appointments also let us give you the oral hygiene education you want and need to keep your teeth and gums healthy. At your dental checkups, we can find issues when they are still small – and more affordable to treat. Plus, if there is anything you don’t like about your smile, this is a perfect opportunity to ask about your options! Depending on your unique needs and dental health, it may be necessary to have more frequent dental visits – up to four times per year or more for people with gum disease.

When you’re looking for teeth whitening in Lethbridge, you have many choices – and you may be tempted to just purchase off-the-shelf whitening products because they seem cheaper than a customized option available from your dentist. In the long run though, off-the-shelf whitening just doesn’t give you the results you’re looking for. You could end up with unnaturally white teeth or teeth that still look drab and discoloured. At Crossings Dental, we customize your teeth whitening solution based on your unique needs, so you get natural-looking results quicker and safely than with store-bought options.

Dental emergencies can be stressful – but they don’t have to be. At Crossings Dental, we try to make it easy for you with a 24-hour dental emergency hotline – call us right away and we’ll help you through. Here are some tips to help until you can get in to see us.

Knocked-Out Tooth – carefully handle the tooth by the top – never the root – gently clean it by rinsing it under clean water. Never scrub the root. Try to put it back in its place and call us right awa. If you can’t place the tooth back in the socket, either in your mouth next to your cheek or put it in a container of cold milk until you get here.

Toothache – most toothaches are cause by decay or infection, so it’s important to come see us. We’ll help get you out of pain and treat your dental issue.

Chipped or Broken Tooth – in many cases we can save a broken tooth, so give us a call and we’ll get you back to smiling as quickly as possible.

Yes, absolutely! We love kids and have tailored our practice to help them have great dental visits.
