A graduate of the University of Toronto’s dental program, James Frizzell, DDS, owns Frizzell Dental in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Dr. Frizzell opened the firm in 1993. When not in his Niagara Falls dentist office, James Frizzell, DDS, supports several philanthropic programs, one of which includes the Easter Seals.

Begun in 1922 with the goal of treating children with physical disabilities, Easter Seals Ontario launched its premiere public information campaign for the universal pasteurization of milk to prevent the spread of tuberculosis. Over the years, the organization has hosted fundraisers, provided fully accessible summer camping programs for children with physical disabilities, and established a treatment and rehabilitation center for those children.

One of the fundraising events hosted by Easter Seals Ontario is its annual Canadian Computer Charity Golf Classic. The 2016 event, which was the organization’s 32nd, occurred on September 8 at The Country Club in Vaughan, Ontario. Typically selling out every year, the golf event hosts a maximum of 304 golfers, many of whom represent more than 100 leading corporations from the United States and Canada. Since it began, the golf classic has raised more than $5.4 million for Easter Seals Ontario and the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation.

Caring for a Baby's First Teeth

James Frizzell, DDS, welcomes patients of all ages to his practice in Niagara Falls, Ontario. As a family dentist, James Frizzell, DDS, of Niagara Falls offers support for children's oral health.

Infant dental care begins even before the first tooth emerges. By cleaning gums with a moist washcloth or gauze a minimum of once per day, parents help their children acclimate to the feeling of having their teeth cleaned. This process also serves to remove bacteria from the gum line before it can become plaque, which poses a decay risk to emerging teeth.

When a baby begins to teethe, the parent can begin using a soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head and long handle. Experts recommend only an extremely small amount of toothpaste in the first three years of life, though water is acceptable if the child cannot tolerate the sensation or taste of toothpaste.

Parents should take care to clean all surfaces of the baby's teeth, including the back, and should continue to perform the brushing until the child has the fine motor control to do so him or herself. This typically occurs around the age of 3 years old. However, the child is likely to need adult supervision until around the age of 6 years old, when he or she develops the ability to rinse and spit independently.

An Overview of Dental Sealant Application

For nearly 23 years, James Frizzell, DDS, has managed his own Niagara, Ontario, dental practice. In this position, James Frizzell, DDS, provides patients a number of preventive and cosmetic procedures, such as applying dental sealants.

Dentists prevent tooth decay using a number of tools and procedures, including dental sealants. These thin, plastic coverings are applied to the chewing surfaces of a patient’s back teeth. The materials used in the dental sealants harden over time, protecting the teeth from future decay, which can result in complex and costly drilling and filling procedures. 

The painless application of dental sealants is done in six steps. First, the dentist begins by cleaning any teeth to be sealed. After cleaning, the teeth are dried and swathed in cotton in order to keep them dry throughout the application. During the third phase, the dentist applies a primer solution. After the primer has been placed, the teeth are rinsed and dried once more. Next, the dentist applies the liquid sealant. The sealant hardens within seconds, and the process is finished.
