We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and were able to enjoy some time with family and friends.

Thank you to everyone who completed our online survey last month. Many of your suggestions will be incorporated into our office over the New Year.

Mouthwash

 
So you were in a hurry, you picked up your mouthwash and had a quick rinse before you left the house, that's as good as brushing...right?

WRONG!

Mouthwashes are effective at masking bad breath and as effective as rinsing with water with regards to removing surface particles. Don't get me wrong, I like to rinse with my favourite minty wash before I head out for the day, but it is no substitute for brushing and flossing. In fact, a mouthwash is most effective right after a good brush and floss as it rinses away anything that was loosened and kills bacteria that still remain behind.

If you use mouthwash, try to use it regularly after brushing and flossing to rinse away unwanted particles and bacteria left behind. Make it a habit to get the best dental results!


Are You Throwing Away the 'Best' Part?

 
We wanted to take a moment to offer new meaning to some old advice your parents used to offer; "Eat your fruits and veggies!"

Fruits and vegetables are a must-have in your diet. They are rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins, (usually) low in calories, and excellent energy sources.

Here's the twist. When your parents told you to 'eat your fruits and vegetables', they were referring to the sliced, skinned and prepared portion on your plate - we are referring to 'all of the fruit and vegetable', skins, tops and stems included.

Skins, tops and stems often have higher concentrations of nutrients than the fruits or vegetables themselves.
