Maple Dental Office - Newsletter

It is wonderful to see kids in the parks, bikes and inline skates out of storage and people out walking. Spring is definitely here!

Physical activity shouldn't be reserved for beautiful spring days though. Activity can be incorporated into your workday through a ten minute walk after lunch, a stretch between projects, and breathing exercises before you pack up. Some stretches you can try at your desk can be found here.

Adding activity to your day will quickly become routine when you find it helps to relieve stress, break up your day and often adds to your productivity.

If you've been thinking about your smile lately, you're not alone! Many people visiting our office recently have been asking about products and services designed to enhance and rejuvenate their smiles for the upcoming Summer.
We'd be pleased to discuss any of our services with you to help you achieve the smile you desire. Simply Click Here to request an appointment.

Wishing you and your family all the best,

The Team At the Maple Dental Office

April was Oral Health Month

Your oral health is integral to your overall health and is often a window into the rest of your body. Take some time to learn as much as you can about your oral health.

Feel free to ask us any questions you may have and spread the word, a healthier mouth is a healthier you!

In keeping with the Oral Health Month theme the Canadian Dental Association created a list of five steps that will help you to achieve a healthy smile.

The Canadian Dental Association's 5 steps to good oral health are as follows:

1. Visit your dentist regularly.

2. Brush your teeth and tongue twice a day using fluoride toothpaste and floss every day.

3. Eat a well balanced diet.

4. Check your mouth regularly for signs of gum disease and oral cancer.

5. Don't smoke or chew tobacco.

For a more detailed version of the CDA's 5 Steps click here.

When you have a moment today, here is a quiz and a word-search created by the Canadian Dental Association based on your oral health. We think that you may find them entertaining and educational. The CDA has also created several activities that you may want to print out for your children to enjoy this evening.

There are four types of teeth that make up the 32 teeth in the adult mouth;
Incisors used for biting and tearing food, Canines used for aiding in the tearing and holding food in place, Premolars for crushing and grinding food, Molars also for crushing and grinding our food before we swallow.

These teeth work together to aid in digestion, maintain the shape of your jawbone and smile and don't forget your overall oral and physical health.

A missing or damaged tooth can put the surrounding teeth at increased risk of decay and lead to future problems. It is important to care for and maintain every tooth regardless of their visibility when you smile.

A healthy mouth is essential to a healthy body, so much so that early signs of health problems often appear in the mouth, making regular visits to the dentist more important than you may think.

Come by our office next time you're in the neighborhood, even if it's just to smile and say hi, we'd be happy to discuss your teeth or anything else for that matter.
