As a team, we are continually educating and updating ourselves on the latest advances in dentistry.
Recently Dr. Heit and Helen had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dave Singh DDS PhD BDS,founder of the
field of epigenetic orthodontics in San Jose, CA. They attended a 3 day seminar on epigenetic
orthodontics presented by Dr. Singh and had the great opportunity to meet with other
collegues from Canada and US.
In 2009 the team at Scotia Square Dentistry had the opportunity to travel to Denver to witness Dr. Heit recieve her
fellowship at ICCMO and attend the yearly IACA in Sanfrancisco. Dr. Tammarie Heit, also recently
attended the 15th International Congress of the International College of Cranio-
Mandibular Orthopedics (ICCMO) in Fukuoka, Japan on November 14-15, 2009.
Dr. Heit was one of three members of ICCMO to attain the distinguished credential of
Mastership in 2009. In a formal robed ceremony, Mastership was conferred upon
members who have reached the pinnacle of this field by fulfilling the rigorous
requirements. The Mastership process requires a minimum two-year commitment. In her
pursuit of Mastership, Dr. Heit first achieved Fellowship, then successfully passed a two-
hour written examination, submitted a thesis proposal for approval, followed by a
completed thesis entitled, “Neuromuscular Orthotics in the Treatment of
Craniomandibular Dysfunction and the Effects on Patients with Multiple
Sclerosis – A Pilot Study”. Following a thorough review of the thesis, the Mastership
Board of Examiners conducted an oral exam in which Dr. Heit answered questions on
her thesis as well as on general science.
ICCMO is a society of health care professionals with a common interest in the etiologic role of orthopedic deformities as related to the various symptoms of head and neck pain and dysfunction. The College is a worldwide organization that fosters an exchange of knowledge among those engaging in dentistry, medicine and collateral health care professionals.
As a team at Scotia Square Dentistry, we are always striving to provide excellent dental service and the latest techniques available. Here is a little insight at what we have been doing at Scotia Square Dentistry to offer our valued patients only the best

ALF APPLIANCE
The Advanced Lightwear Functional appliance is another alternative technique for correcting dental orthopedic orthodontic malocclusions in both children and adults. It is a new treatment concept for the correction of TMJ pain, misaligned teeth and jaws, chronic headaches, facial pain and neck and lower back pain.
LASER THERAPY
Dentistry has harnessed laser power for many applications and procedures, and one of the most important is Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy which in now offered at our practice. Periodontal disease is one of the most common afflictions we all face, and one of the most difficult to treat.
Laser therapy can help by not only eradicating gum infection, but also eliminating bacteria, significantly reducing occurance. Since the laser is so precise, there are no incisions, stitches, bleeding, swelling, cosmetic changes, or gum recession..all with minimal to no pain. Laser Perio Therapy allows us to save and restore teeth that only a few years ago would have been lost.
