September 2009

With the summer temperatures arriving late this year many of us are hoping they will stick around for a while.

September 22 is the first day of autumn! There are still ample activities to help keep you active. These include nature hikes and cycling on Ontario's beautiful nature trails and an Ontario tradition, apple picking.

Are you away at school?
Many post secondary institutions offer health plans that include dental coverage.

If you are enrolled in a post secondary program, remember to review the coverage offered to you.

Until next time, keep smiling,

Tooth Brush Care

It's 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 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. Do not 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, as studies have shown that users tend to brush their teeth longer, it could be worth the minor investment.

Dental check ups include screenings for oral cancer, a serious oral disease of the mouth, lips, or throat, but highly curable if detected and treated early.

2. Gum (Periodontal) Disease Affects Your Overall Health.
One of the principal causes of tooth loss, gum disease has also been linked to heart disease. If detected early, it can be treated and reversed.

	BOOKS, MUSIC, MOVIES and STUFF
	*Some of our staff recommendations this month:* Dr. Brown: (movie - current) Inglorious Bastards What can I say? True to form Quentin Tarantino! It's a spaghetti western tossed with World War II iconography. Christoph Waltz is brilliant! Lisa: (passtime) Sudoku It's probably over-rated but I still love these number puzzles. Tami: (product) Dawn Dish Soap Gets out tough grease stains on clothing. Apparently, it's also what they use to clean birds after an oil spill. Who knew? Kristin: (passtime) Kakuro If you love Sudoku but want to be challenged, try Kakuro. It is also a numbers puzzle, but it involves adding as well. You can play online here. Lovina: (movie - current) The Unborn A horror flick about a young woman who fights a spirit that is slowly taking possession of her. Very scary indeed!
