The early storms of the season seem to have given way to some beautiful weather. Hopefully you've been able to take our advice regarding going for a walk after lunch, stretching at your desk, and remembering your sunscreen!

Here's another piece of advice that we're sure you've heard before; drink plenty of water! This advice is especially important if you are engaged in activities in the summer heat. While there are many opinions regarding how much water you should be drinking, chances are you are currently not getting enough.

Here is a suggestion;
Keep a glass of water at your desk all day. You will find yourself reaching for it more often than you expect. It will also give you a reason to take a break and refill it throughout the day. Drinking water helps to properly hydrate you, cleanse your body and rinse bacteria from your mouth as you drink!

Wishing you a month filled with reasons to smile,

Neil Hahn D.D.S. and
the High Park Dental Care Team

How would you rate your smile? Is it a perfect TEN! A seven, or perhaps even lower? Is your smile a focal point that makes you look younger? It can be!
	If you look at pictures of yourself and wish your teeth were straighter, whiter or more aligned we may have the solution for you. Cosmetic dentistry allows us to perform porcelain veneer 'smile makeovers' that can address all of these issues. We are delighted to be able to offer this service to our patients.

It is recommended that you change your tooth brush at least every four months. This ensures that the bristles are in good condition for cleaning your teeth. I recommend a soft bristle brush used after every meal with a fluoride toothpaste.
Your toothbrush should be stored upright, if possible, after use and never shared. Also try to avoid letting your toothbrush touch your spouses if you share a holder. After each use, rinse your brush under cold water, give it a good shake and let it air dry. Don't cover your 'home use' toothbrush as it may create a place for bacteria to flourish. If you use a travel toothbrush, replace it after your trip. It's also a good idea to replace your brush after a cold or illness.
If you're interested, ask me about electric toothbrushes on your next visit. Studies have shown that users tend to brush their teeth longer, it could be worth the minor investment.
