| July 2009 - Summer Edition! |
Here is the weather that many around our office have been waiting for!
While we encourage you to get outside and enjoy these gorgeous days, we also remind you to wear sunscreen and stretch before any activity. If your job finds you at a desk for the majority of the day take five minutes today and search for 'stretches you can do at your desk'. Stretching will improve your flexibility and circulation as well as alleviate some of your daily stress.
Drink plenty of water, especially during these summer months!
Chances are you are currently not getting enough water in your day. You should keep a glass of water at your desk and drink it throughout the day. Refilling your glass will give you a reason to take a break every hour or so. Drinking water helps to properly hydrate you, cleanse your body and rinse bacteria from your mouth as you drink!
Remember to share your summer travel photos with us. We may even use them in upcoming issues of our newsletter.
Until next time keep smiling,
The team @ Kingston Park Dental Office

| How Would You Rate Your Smile? |
Is it a perfect ten?
A seven, or perhaps even lower?
Does your smile make you look younger, sexier, and smarter?
 It can.
When you look at pictures do you ever wish your teeth were straighter, whiter, more aligned? Cosmetic dentistry allows dentists to perform porcelain veneer 'smile makeovers' which can address all of these issues. We are delighted to be able to offer this revolutionary technique to our patients.

| Protect Your Winning Smile |
Mouthguards are flexible dental appliances worn by athletes to protect teeth from possible damage. They are usually made of plastic materials that fit comfortably over your teeth and gums. There are over the counter variations available, but for the highest level of protection we recommend a custom fitted mouthguard that is made specifically for your smile.
Mouthguards prevent the lower jaw from impacting into the upper jaw averting major injuries such as concussions, jaw fractures, neck injuries as well as limiting bruising and laceration of the lips and cheeks.
Whenever there is a possibility of contact either with other competitors or any immovable objects we highly recommend the use of a mouthguard.
Many schools and sports leagues require the wearing of mouthguards during both practice and actual competition. Even if this is not mandatory, mouthguards should be worn during active involvement in sports.
Parents in particular should ensure that children, who may not be aware of or fully understand the potential dangers, protect their winning smiles through the use of mouthguards. |
