October 2014: Tips, eNews & More!
The temperature is beginning to drop, so what are we going to do? Embrace it! Fall is a beautiful season full of wonderful changes - the leaves, the brisk air and the cozy sweaters. Love it or hate it ... everything is now pumpkin-flavoured! Thanksgiving (October 13th) and Halloween (October 31st) are just around the corner. Halloween falls on a Friday, meaning that ghosts and goblins will be out early and all through the evening, so be careful as you head home from work or school. As always, with Thanksgiving and Halloween kicking off the holiday season, remember not to over indulge too early and avoid binging on candy too much. What's Your Plan? Is your dental plan based on the calendar year? If so, your coverage maximums start over on January 1st, and your unused benefits may not roll over into the New Year. That means if you don't use them, you lose them! If we haven't seen your smile in a while, click here to schedule an appointment. Have a safe and healthy month, Dr. Milligan and the High Park Dental Team |

Tooth Decay in Preschoolers
Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, is a disease caused by germs and is easily spread in families. When a mother eats from the same spoon as her child, the bacteria from her mouth can cause the enamel of the baby's teeth to break down, leading to cavities and opening the door for other oral diseases. Tooth decay in children can cause their teeth to grow in incorrectly, but poor oral hygiene can also affect them psychologically. Children with caries are prone to behavioral problems, have trouble keeping up in school, and experience sleep loss, affecting their overall well being. Click here for more of our tips! |
