One size doesn’t
fit all smiles.
From the wellness guru to the master procrastinator, we all approach oral health differently. Tap your personality emoji to find out what your unique dental style says about your smile—and how to keep it healthy.
Procrastinator
“I’ll book it… next week.”
DESCRIPTION
But life gets busy, the reminder card disappears, and suddenly it’s been… awhile. Guilty of putting self-care last?
“You’re the Procrastinator. You care — eventually.”
TIPS
- Reward yourself with special ‘something’
- Schedule “book dentist apt” in your calendar
- Don’t leave the dental office without rebooking
Escape Artist
“Literally anything but the dentist.”
DESCRIPTION
Is a visit to the dentist anxiety inducing?
Appointments feel overwhelming — but, you know avoiding it doesn’t help.
“You’re the Escape Artist. Deep breaths — you’re not alone.”
TIPS
- When you book, tell your dental team you need help with anxiety
- Agree on a “stop” sign with your dentist
- Listen to a podcast for a distraction
- Wear sunglasses to reduce overhead light glare
Savvy Saver
“Do I really need this right now?”
DESCRIPTION
You compare costs, maximize benefits, and sometimes stretch time between visits to make the budget work. You’re practical — not careless.
“You’re the Savvy Saver. Smart spending, smarter smiling.”
TIPS
- Check if you qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan
- Ask your benefits company for preapproval
- Ask your dentist for a payment plan
Wellness Researcher
“I’ll research it myself first…”
DESCRIPTION
You care deeply about your health and have a million questions. Natural products? Wellness trends? You’re curious, informed and skeptical.
“You’re the Wellness Researcher. Healthy habits
with a side of skepticism.”
TIPS
- Bring your questions — good dental care starts with honest conversations
- Talk about your wellness goals and priorities
- Personalized care is the best oral health plan
Smile Superstar
“Flossed already.”
DESCRIPTION
Brush & Floss? Already done! Checkups? Booked. You’re proactive and see oral health as part of overall health.
“You’re the Smile Superstar. Your dentist probably loves you.”
TIPS
- Keep up the great habits
- Remind someone you care about to prioritize their own self care
- Healthy habits add up — keep doing what works
