It’s that time of year again! NOW Magazine is having their annual ‘Best of Toronto’ awards and Archer Dental is thrilled to be nominated for ‘Best Dentist‘ for the fourth year in a row!

If you’re in the mood to expand your knowledge when it comes to teeth and oral health, we’ve got some interesting bits of trivia for you!
