February 2014: Tips, eNews & More!

The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games have come and gone and Canadians are still on a high! We were all so excited to cheer for our Canadian athletes as they went for gold. And gold we got!

Go Canada Go!

Are you feeling the chill of the season? We say embrace it and get outside! Ski, skate, or just put on some snow pants and play in the snow! The cold isn't going away anytime soon (despite what some groundhogs may say), so why not enjoy it? Be sure to bundle up and layer yourself well, you don't want to catch a cold.

If you do feel yourself getting sick, be sure to drink plenty of warm fluids and orange juice to load up on vitamin C to help your body stay strong. Some other tips to stay healthy this season include:

• Wash your hands often
• Avoid touching your face
• Throw tissues away after use
• Get plenty of sleep and good rest

Until next month, stay warm and keep smiling,

Learn Proper Brushing and Flossing Techniques

Brushing:

1. Use a soft toothbrush for thorough and gentle cleaning.

2. Hold your brush at a 45 degree angle. Begin by brushing the outside of the front teeth. Use gentle, half-tooth wide, back and forth strokes.

3. Next, brush the outside back teeth, starting along the gumline.

4. For the inside back teeth, use short, angled brush strokes.

5. For the inside front teeth, tilt the brush vertically, and use an up-and-down motion.

6. For the chewing surfaces, hold the brush flat, and use a gentle motion.
