Spring has taken hold! If you have enrolled yourself or your children in a sporting league you will likely be gearing up with some new equipment. If your activity involves the potential for contact with another participant or any object for that matter, think about your teeth. Talk to us about a properly fitted mouthguard this season. While we may not be able to improve your game, we can help to protect your winning smile! The longer hours of daylight seem to encourage us to spend more time outdoors, in turn exposing ourselves to the sun's rays. While some sun used by your body to produce vitamin d, essential for calcium absorption, too much sun can be harmful. We just wanted to offer a word of advice, SUNSCREEN! May 3-9 is Emergency Preparedness Week. Do you have a plan in case of an emergency? Authorities suggest that you be ready to care for your family for at least 72 hours while essential services care for those in immediate need. Click here for a video outlining the basics of a family emergency kit. Is it your time to quit? May 31 is World No-tobacco Day http://www.cctc.ca/. There are many reasons to give up a tobacco habit and whatever yours is, it is the right one! With smoking becoming more unacceptable in public places tobacco companies are coming up with creative products to keep you addicted. Many smokeless products still impact your gums and teeth, as well as your wallet. If your ready to break a tobacco addiction speak to us, we may be able to help.
