Tell us what's on your mind!

Week after week, our creative team at Abba Dental blog about important topics pertinent to dental care and your continuing treatment at our convenient office in downtown Vancouver.

Today, we thought we’d step back and ask: what’s on your mind? What would you like to know about the field of dentistry? What would you like us to focus on our blog? Let us know by posting here or on our Facebook fan page!

So… take it away and we'll try to answer any questions you may have!

Enjoy the rest of your week everyone!

Featured patient reviews for Abba Dental!

At Abba Dental, we love hearing from our patients! Here are a few reviews we've received that we thought we'd share!

"I have been a patient of Dr. Keith Lim for over 30 years. He is the very best and I have referred many friends to him! His practice is definitely on top the game. Keep up the great work."‎

"I have been a patient of Keith's for over 20 years, except when living elsewhere. An excellent dentist that I was very glad to recommence visiting on my return to Vancouver."

"I have been with Dr. Lim over 7 years and I am very happy with the level of dentistry he performs. He doesn't have the best bedside manner, but that is made up by his up to date knowledge and the fact his work has been virtually pain-free on all occasions (including root canals). His hygienists are the best at what they do."

Foods for healthy gums and healthy hearts, from Abba Dental

Our staff at Abba Dental will tell you that gum disease, known also as periodontal disease, is far more common than you may think. Each year, new studies begin to link the effect gum disease can have on the heart, and we have been helping spread the word around Vancouver! One of the simplest steps to achieving healthier gums can be your diet. We recently found a great article outlining several options for healthier gums. Included among the suggestions were:

*Raisins
*Green Tea
*Whole Grains

In addition to these foods being gums-friendly, they happen to be healthy foods in general, and a great option to begin integrating into your diet.

Have a great upcoming week! Be sure to give us a call if you have any questions!

October is National Dental Hygiene Month at Abba Dental!

Ah, October is here. The leaves are beginning to fall, the days are getting shorter and all that Halloween candy is beginning to make its rounds. For our staff at Abba Dental, October is known as National Dental Health Month.

We join our friends at the American Dental Hygienists' Association in spreading the word that good dental habits are easy to develop and even easier to maintain. This year's theme is “Healthy Habits are Easier than You Think,” which focuses on prevention. At Abba Dental, we know everyone is busy; living a life on-the-go is difficult for most people, but our staff is here to tell you keeping a healthy mouth shouldn’t be.

Your teeth are an important part of your body, and keeping them clean helps keep your mouth and your body healthy. By taking care of your teeth, eating a balanced diet, and visiting our convenient downtown Vancouver office on a regular basis, you can have healthy teeth and an attractive smile throughout your entire life.

We encourage you to check out the ADHA's National Dental Hygiene Month website, which provides pointers on keeping your mouth clean and healthy. Lastly, has it been six months since your last visit to Abba dental? If the answer is yes, we encourage you to give us a call at 604-688-7201 to set up an appointment.

Have a wonderful & relaxing weekend everyone!
