Indigenous Values of
Community and Care
Rooted in the Land, Inspired by Community
At Apple Dental Specialists, we respectfully acknowledge that our clinic operates on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Semiahmoo First Nation, whose relationship with this land spans countless generations.
Their teachings remind us that community is built through care, responsibility, and connection, to the land and to one another. These values guide how we approach our work, encouraging us to support our neighbours, contribute meaningfully to the place we call home, and honour the history and culture that shape this region.
Supporting the
Oral Health of Seniors
As we age, maintaining oral health can become more difficult. Many seniors in the White Rock and South Surrey community experience dental challenges that affect comfort, nutrition, and overall well-being. Recognizing these issues is the first step toward better support
Dry Mouth
Many medications can reduce saliva, increasing the risk of tooth decay and discomfort.
Gum Health Changes
Gum disease becomes more common with age and can progress without noticeable symptoms.
Tooth Loss
Missing teeth can affect confidence, speech, and the ability to enjoy certain foods.
Jawbone Changes
Bone density in the jaw can gradually decrease over time, affecting oral stability.
Difficulty Chewing
Changes in teeth and bite alignment can make everyday eating more challenging.
Tooth Sensitivity
Receding gums and enamel wear can lead to increased sensitivity.
