A FREE Oral Cancer Screening Test - May 3rd, 2012!
| |
|
In 2012, oral cancer is on the rise in Canada. The staggering statistics are that while 3 Canadians die every day from oral cancer, 10 more are diagnosed. At the time of diagnosis, most patients will not survive beyond 5 years. Amazingly, 1 in 4 of those patients diagnosed does not smoke.
Due to this alarming information, our dental practice is proud to introduce the Vizilite Plus examination. This adjunctive technology will allow us to find any abnormalities at the earliest possible stage. This quick and painless test will be performed at your regular check-up appointments annually.
On Thursday May 3rd, 5-8pm, we are going to have a FREE oral cancer screening test. Feel free to bring your friends and family for this great offer. Please call to schedule your appointment as soon as possible! Limited space available.
We continually strive to provide our patients with the highest standard of care and we know that better screening saves lives!

April 2012: Tips, eNews & More!

|
If March was any indication of how this summer is going to look maybe
we should skip spring this year. On second thought, spring is a
crowd pleaser among many in the office. It's not too hot, not too
cold, it is kind of the baby bear of the seasons.
Spring is a time of rebirth and rejuvenation. In the past we talked
about spring cleaning around the home: this year we'd like to suggest
a little spring cleaning for ...yourself! When was your last visit to
your family doctor for a physical, your eye doctor, your ear doctor,
and wink, wink, nudge, nudge, our office. You've got a lot
going on in your busy schedule, but you should always make time for
your health.
April is Oral Health Month
Regular visits to our office for cleanings and dental exams are an integral part of your health care. Your mouth often presents early warning signs of health, and contributes significantly to your comfort, confidence and overall well being.

The Importance of Regular Dental Examinations
Why does your dentist want to schedule another appointment with you so soon - even if today's oral examination was perfect?
Regular dental visits are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. For maximum benefit, a good home care regimen must be supplemented with an examination at least every six months. Depending on the status of your oral health, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
Several months after cleaning, teeth can have plaque build-up as well as stains from food, beverages, tobacco, etc. Over time, plaque build-up can harden into tartar (or calculus) formation.

Mac n'Cheeze Pleeze!
From spring cleaning to the endless outdoor activities we find in
Ontario, the warmer temperatures are likely to get you moving. This
month we wanted to share a high energy, health conscious, vegan
recipe inspired by a Canadian classic...Macaroni and cheese!
Some of the ingredients in this recipe may not be readily found in
your pantry. All of them should be easily found in your local
grocer's organic section and all are worth having around for their
nutritional value.
