Children’s teeth are not fully formed and the jaw is still growing, but fixed or removable appliances are available to youngsters.Age 13 is the time when those who need braces can make that commitment. Dr. Boyko gets great satisfaction out of working with his patients of all ages, to re-align their teeth for that confident smile.

SANDRO DEL ROSSO H.Bsc, DDS Dentist Dr. Sandro Del Rosso enjoys the variety of practicing general dentistry at Port Perry Dental Associates. Since 1996, he has fulfilled his childhood dream of a career as a Dentist. A typical day may include filling cavities, doing extractions, root canals, dental implants, bridges and crowns. He also handles any dental emergencies. Dr. Del Rosso believes that lifelong good dental health relies on good oral hygiene, starting at an early age. Brushing and flossing in between teeth, where the toothbrush can’t reach, is vitally important to the health of each tooth. Parents can help their children, as young as newborns, by wiping their gums and cleaning their teeth for them to prevent cavities. State-of-the-art technology continues to dramatically improve dental care services. Dr. Del Rosso finds it rewarding to serve local families and help patients of all ages to smile their best smiles. DR. FARAH WALJI BSC, DDS, DIP. PERIO Periodontist When we think of the word ‘Dentist’, the word ‘Teeth” springs to mind. But healthy gums also play a vital role in good oral health. Periodontist Dr. Farah Walji joined Port Perry Dental Associates in 2005. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree from McGill University, and graduated seven years later as a Periodontist from Tufts University in Boston. She uses her expertise to restore lost gum tissues to their original levels, and helps to prevent further bone loss and deterioration. Sometimes dental implants are the right choice for a patient. With the advent of CT guide surgery, it is now possible to place the dental implants without long incisions, resulting in minimal swelling and post-op discomfort. Dr. Farah believes that tooth loss and gum disease don’t have to be a result of aging. Using modern, pro-active treatments, she is experienced in helping people keep that youthful smile. 462 Paxton Street, Port Perry Located across from the hospital in the Medical Associates building 905-985-8459 www.dentistportperry.com 462 Paxton Street, Port Perry Located across from the hospital in the Medical Associates building 905-985-8459 www.dentistportperry.com 462 Paxton Street, Port Perry Located across from the hospital in the Medical Associates building 905-985-8459 • www.dentistportperry.com 462 Paxton Street, Port Perry Located across from the hospital in the Medical Associates building 905-985-8459 • www.dentistportperry.com FOCUS - MAY 2017 37
