Drs. Azizi and Lim, protecting you from heart disease

Did you know dentists like Drs. Azizi and Lim can play a pivotal role in saving those at risk for heart attacks? It’s true! A recent study in the Journal of the American Dental Association, or JADA, found that dentists were able to identify patients who were at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the United States. The authors of the study looked at dentists “as a resource for identifying patients who were unaware of their increased cardiovascular risk factors.”

If you have any questions about CVD, or how our staff at Vancouver's Abba Dental can screen you for the disease, please give us a call at 604-688-7201.

Abba Dental, helping calm children's fears and anxieties about dentistry

Dr. Keith Lim, Dr. Baha Azizi and our staff at Abba Dental know that many children have a fear of visiting the dentist. Recently, we came across a helpful article that discusses how parents can help kids overcome fears of the dentist, courtesy of our friends at WebMD.

Our staff excels at making children feel comfortable visiting the dentist. In fact, most of our young patients look forward to their next visit!

Has your child visited Abba Dental in the last six months? If not, it’s time to schedule an appointment by calling 604-688-7201! We look forward to seeing you and have a great rest of the week!

Are you flossing?

At Abba Dental, we take flossing seriously, and our professional staff will always tell you that proper flossing is just as vital for your dental health as brushing regularly. Flossing, you see, cleans food and plaque that build up between teeth and below the gumline, key areas that brushing simply cannot reach.

The act of flossing can take 3-to-5 minutes every day (as recommended), but even 60 seconds of flossing has a great benefit over not flossing at all. Also, make sure to always brush your teeth after you floss, and to rinse with water or mouthwash. When you begin flossing you may experience gum pain or bleeding, but with daily flossing and brushing this should stop within a week or so.

Lastly, has it been at least six months since your last checkup at Abba Dental? If the answer is yes, we encourage you to schedule an appointment at our convenient downtown Vancouver office by calling 604-688-7201!

We hope you're enjoying your summer! Floss, floss, floss!
