July 2016: Tips, eNews & More!

With summer now in full swing we bet that you are now really feeling the heat! Be sure to keep the fans blowing and try drinking more water on those really hot days. Take the time to apply sun screen to protect your skin and prevent burns from too much sun exposure. For a full list of tips on how to prevent heat-related illness, click here.

We hope you had a great time celebrating with family and friends on Canada Day. The summer is all about enjoying the nice weather and good food but in between indulging in icy treats and BBQ dinners, remember to keep your oral health in check. Brush and floss every day and bring your kids in for a checkup. This is a great time for them to come in before school starts again. Book an appointment today.

Stay cool,

Join Us in the End Women's Cancer One Walk!

One Walk, One Goal

All Cancers

September 10th, 2016

To our wonderful patients,

For the last 9 out of 10 years, there have been a group of us that have walked alongside other participants in the 25km One Walk, benefiting the Princess Margaret Hospital.

Each year the participants raise millions of dollars that go to research at the Princess Margaret hospital, one of the leading research facilities in the world, to aid in the search for a cure for all women's cancers. This year the walk has changed to a 1 day 25km walk.

Once again, Jacquie and Heather S. will be participating in the walk around the streets of Toronto. Now the 1 day, 25km walk is for ALL cancers and we hope that the funds we raise will help researchers find a cure that could end this disease that affects so many people around the world, no matter who or where they are.

We are walking for our families, our friends and our patients that have been affected by cancer. In the 9 years that our group has walked, we have raised over $100,000!

Fight Tooth Decay with Beet Juice

According to the NIH (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research), 92% of adults between the ages of 20 to 60 have tooth decay.

Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in your mouth creates lactic acids that eat away at the tooth. The root cause is sugar, since bacteria uses sugar as the substance with which to adhere to the tooth. These bacteria can eventually turn into plaque - a sticky, colourless film of bacteria proliferating on our teeth. Tooth decay can be minimized by a healthy diet that involves cutting down on sugary foods. But did you know there's something you can add to your healthy eating habits that can actually help prevent tooth decay?

Beet juice!
