With the summer temperatures arriving late this year many around our office are hoping they will stick around for a while. September is a busy month filled with the excitement of 'back to school' and a palpable charge in the air!
September 22 is the first day of autumn and there are still ample activities to help keep you active this time of year. These include nature hikes and cycling on Ontario's beautiful
nature trails and an Ontario tradition, apple picking.
Remember to share your landscape photos with us as you explore what Ontario has to offer, we may even use them in upcoming issues.
With many sporting leagues gearing up in the upcoming month remember to speak us about protecting your teeth. A properly fitted mouthguard will add a level of safety that over the counter alternatives may not provide.
LABOR DAY
We will be closed for the Labour day holiday. We will reopen on September 8th at 1pm. If you experience a dental emergency while we are closed, please contact the emergency dental clinic to assist you at 416-485-7121.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
For all of our patients celebrating Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur, we wish you a healthy & happy new year.
Shana Tova!
Dr. Neil Silver, Dr. Brian Warshafsky and the staff of Rosedale Dental Centre

Tooth Decay describes the break down of strong healthy teeth over time. Your tooth's surface is composed of a hard mineral coating called enamel. Enamel is the hardest tissue in your body, but by no means indestructible. Actually, enamel is exposed to bacteria all day which produce plaque.
 Plaque is the substance that covers your teeth and eats away at the enamel causing the holes known as cavities.
Brushing your teeth, flossing and regular dental visits will help keep plaque under control. Leaving plaque on your teeth leads to tartar buildup which brushing and flossing alone can not remove. Letting plaque get out of control can lead to many oral problems ranging from bad breath and cavities to gum recession Periodontal disease and tooth loss!
Even teeth with fillings aren't immune to plaque. The acidic substance damages fillings and other dental work and can lead to future problems.
Under your enamel is a layer of the tooth made of dentin. Dentin is also high in mineral content, but much softer and more vulnerable to plaque. Once a cavity has reached this layer it starts effecting blood vessels and eventually the root. This is why dentists often fill small cavities long before they reach a level where they become problematic.
Prevention is the key:

With all of the back to school excitement (for some!)and shopping, remember that a backpack or book bag is one of the most important accessories you will be buying!
 Here is some Advice:
Once you have found the backpack that will set the style tone for the year, it is important to look at what you are putting in it and how!
Ideally, your child's backpack should not exceed 10% of their body weight for elementary children. For older children it should be no more than 15% of their body weight.
The weight should be distributed as evenly as possible with the heaviest items being close to the body and awkward objects as far as possible, so as not to dig in.
For more information on choosing a backpack for your child as well as how to pack and carry it you can click here.
You can also visit the Ontario Chiropractic Association here for more information.
