Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the Alberta Dental Association and College (ADA&C), Health Canada and the Canadian Centre For Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
To ensure the health and well-being of our patients and team members, we have installed 2 different types of air purifiers at our dental office. Both of these are manufactured by the Canadian company, Surgically Clean Air.
Both of these filters perform their duties without being loud, (an industry-leading low level of about 55DB) or creating a “breeze” that can be uncomfortable for our patients.
Some additional changes you may also see when it is time for your next appointment. For example:
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (403) 382‑2273.

Lethbridge Dental Care Centre
At Cool Dental in Lethbridge, we offer BOTOX® cosmetic services to minimize the appearance of unwanted fine lines.
Botox is a protein that comes from the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. It's a toxin, but when used properly and in small doses, it can serve various medical and cosmetic purposes.
BOTOX® injections target the nervous system. They block nerve signals to the muscles, causing the muscles to relax and stop contracting. The muscles soften and become less stiff, which then reduces unwanted fine lines and creases.
BOTOX® injections are safe and have been performed for many years. This procedure uses only a minute amount and targeted doses of Botulinum Toxin. BOTOX® can come with some side effects, but these cases aren’t common.
You may notice bruising in the area and also experience headaches. There may also be mild pain and swelling. Very few patients report developing a drooping eyelid, which also goes away within three weeks. This can happen when you rub the area after receiving the injection.
Other side effects include headaches, flu-like symptoms, and an upset stomach. It’s important to consult with your trusted dentist in Lethbridge first to know what you can expect before signing up for the treatment.
BOTOX® Injections are used primarily to help diminish unwanted facial lines. They’re a popular cosmetic procedure and here are some of their benefits:
BOTOX can also be used to help treat certain medical conditions:
Getting BOTOX doesn't require the use of anesthesia. Your appointment can be completed within 15 minutes. We use an ultra-fine needle to direct the injection to the issue. While the procedure itself quick, it can take up to 7 days to see the full effects of the treatment.
BOTOX® injections aren’t permanent. They can last from 3-12 months, depending on the treatment you’ve received. You may consider getting re-treated once you see the fine lines appearing again. However, over time, the wrinkles and fine lines may no longer be as severe as before as the BOTOX® injections help train the muscles to relax.
BOTOX® injections aren’t recommended for breastfeeding moms and those who are pregnant.
If you’re thinking about receiving BOTOX® treatments in Lethbridge area, we recommend booking an initial consultation with our dentist, Dr. Lachman.
