For maximum benefit, a good home care regimen must be supplemented with an examination at least every six months. Depending on the status of your oral health, Dr. Train may recommend more frequent visits.

| Family Day and Another Six Weeks of Winter! |
If Wiarton Willie is right we will be enjoying this weather for the long-haul. For those of you who are believers in the Groundhog Day tradition, Willie saw his shadow predicting six more wintery weeks to go!
February 15 is Family Day which is a great chance to spend time with family and friends. Since the colder temperatures seem to be hanging around for a while you consider taking advantage of Ontario’s outdoor opportunities. Skating, skiing, snow boarding & shoeing, are always fun and make for great pictures and stories over hot chocolate later that evening.
Did you know?
Groundhogs, also called Woodchucks are part of the rodent family. As such their teeth grow continuously back toward the roof of their mouths creating a risk of becoming embedded. This creates a need to constantly gnawing on wood or hard objects to keep their teeth sharp and at a manageable length.
Across Canada there are other groundhogs whose predictions have become part of this tradition of prognostication. They include Nova Scotia's Schubenacadie Sam, Ontario's Gary the Groundhog, Brandon Bob of Manitoba and Alberta's Balzac Billy.
