Happy almost Halloween, Shuswap! 🎃🦷

You know I love this holiday, so no candy-shaming here. A few small tricks help your teeth enjoy it too:

✔️ Save treats for after a meal
✔️ Sip some water after snacking
✔️ Chew sugar-free gum, then brush and floss

Sorting the loot bag? Chocolate melts away fast, while sticky treats like toffee and lollipops cling to your teeth longer.

What's the first treat you grab from the pile? Tell me below 👇

Fairy Tales ✨ Chapter 1: Meet Tristan

Some of you have already met Tristan through his own videos. He's been through a lot, and I'm honoured he chose to trust me with his smile 💙

I started Fairy Tales because the best part of my job isn't the cleaning. It's the people. Every person who sits in my chair has a story, and some of those stories deserve to be told. This series is real people, real visits, and real smiles, shared with their permission and in their own words.

Over the next few months, Tristan is letting us follow along: the appointments, the wins, the nervous moments, and how he's feeling along the way. No filters and no scripts. His story is his to tell, so make sure you're following to hear it from him.

If you've ever felt nervous about your smile, or put off care because life got in the way, I hope you'll see a bit of yourself in this. You're not alone, and it's never too late to start.

Tristan, thank you for your courage and for letting us all cheer you on 🧚‍♀️

Your mouth and the rest of your body are a team. 🦷💙

Gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Heart & Stroke notes that the same bacteria from common mouth infections have been found in blockages in heart arteries. Your gums matter more than you might think.

Small daily habits that help:
✔️ Brush for 2 minutes, twice a day
✔️ Clean between your teeth once a day (floss, flossing picks or a water flosser all count)
✔️ Keep up with regular checkups with your providers

Living with diabetes, heart disease or a history of stroke? I recommend cleanings every 3 to 4 months. Heavier plaque and bacteria can build up fast, and more frequent cleanings help keep your gums healthy. Ask me what's right for you.

Noticing blood on your toothbrush or floss? That's worth a look. Book a visit and we'll check it together.

Some mornings sneak up on you.

I drove to Oyama for a meeting with Dr. Dhillon and somehow ended up at Twin Lakes, the spot my family camped when I was a little girl. I used to sit in a tiny tent by Wood Lake and dream about a bigger life.

Standing there again, I couldn't help but feel it. Every closed door, every "no," every detour led me right here, doing what I love for the community I love. 💛

Simmy and I are building something beautiful together in Salmon Arm. We share a big passion for how the way you breathe and sleep is linked to your oral health and your whole-body health, and I can't wait to tell you more.

Thank you for letting me share the real, human side of all this. It still surprises me that you want to hear it, and I'm so grateful you do.
More news coming soon. Happy Sunday, friends. ✨

Remember the coffee date? Here's who I was waiting for 😄

Meet Dr. Simmy ! She found us eventually, and it was so worth the wait. We spent the afternoon dreaming up something fun for Salmon Arm, and I can't wait to share more.

Mark your calendars for November and December. Details coming soon 👀

Lunch and coffee dates hit different with good company ☕

Spent the afternoon at Perks to Shore with Dr. Simmy Dhillon. I went with an apple pecan muffin and an iced coffee, and Dr. Dhillon had a vanilla latte.
Both 10/10, would floss again 😉

If you haven't been yet, this is your sign.

We may have been talking about more than coffee… stay tuned, Salmon Arm 👀

Why I became a dental hygienist 👇

16 years ago I started this work because I wanted to help people in a way that felt practical and human. Not 5-minute visits. Not factory-line care.

Hygiene is the part of dentistry where you actually get to know someone. I see my patients regularly, watch their oral health change over years, and get to be part of preventing problems instead of just fixing them.

When I opened Carrie The Toothfairy, the goal was simple:
✨ Real time per appointment
✨ A calm room, no judgment
✨ Honest answers about what your mouth actually needs
✨ Care that fits your budget and your life

If you've been hesitant to come back to the chair or you're starting fresh somewhere new, this is a soft landing.

Real talk: Bad breath isn't always about food 🦷🧚🏼‍♀️

The actual causes (in order of how often I see them):

1️⃣ Tongue bacteria: That coating on the tongue is the largest harbour of bacteria in the whole mouth.
2️⃣ Dry mouth: Less saliva = more odour
3️⃣ Bleeding and inflammed gums
4️⃣ Old dental work with gaps that trap food
5️⃣ Sinus, stomach and sleep issues

Commercial mouthwash masks it for 20 minutes. It also kills good bacteria in your mouth and can make the odours intensify along with other issues
No quick fixes:
☑️ Brush your tongue, use recommended products from your oral health professionals
☑️ Floss daily (or interdental brush)
☑️ Hydrate
☑️ Professional cleanings, regular dental checkup’s and staying on top of old, breaking down restorative work.

If you're self-conscious about your breath, please don't be embarrassed to come in. We can navigate this together to find the right treatment plan getting you back to good breath and oral health!

Quick CDCP truth bomb 💣

If you're a Canadian resident, file your taxes, and your adjusted family income is under $90,000, you may already qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

Common myths I hear daily:
❌ "It's only for seniors" - wrong. All ages now eligible.
❌ "Hygiene isn't covered" - covered. Often at $0.
❌ "You can only see specific dentists" - wrong, any provider accepting CDCP.

I see CDCP patients every week. Hygiene visits. Cleanings. Exams. Often $0 out of pocket.

If you've been putting off care because of cost, apply & then call me.

Iced coffee season hit different this year? 🧋☕

Your tooth enamel has microscopic ridges that trap pigment. Coffee, tea, red w**e, dark berries → stain molecules wedge in and stay.

What helps:
☑️ Drink coffee/iced tea through a straw
☑️ Rinse with water after staining drinks
☑️ Use an electric toothbrush (better surface cleaning)
☑️ Professional polish or whitening for what's already there

The drugstore strips? Low concentration + bad fit = modest results. Pola take-home or in-office is the real fix.

Curious what whitening could do for your smile? Let's chat.
