November 2015: Tips, eNews & More!

It's hard to believe that fall is almost over and winter is coming. While there's a bit more time before the snow hits, you shouldn't forget to bundle up to avoid getting caught off guard by the sudden change in temperature. The last thing you want is to get sick during the last few weeks of fall fun!

Here are some tips to help you transition to the colder months:

Wear layers - an easy way to stay warm is to layer your clothing . You can easily put on or take off a sweater or a cardigan to adjust to temperature changes when you step out or inside.

Clear your radiators / Change your filters - Make sure there isn't furniture blocking your radiators or vents and preventing warm air from circulating around the house. Placing a piece of tin foil behind a radiator can also help with heat dissipating through the wall by reflecting heat back into the room. Adjust your vents for the cold weather because hot air rises while cold air falls.

Drink warm beverages - the cold gives us the excuse to indulge in delicious drinks like warm apple cider and hot chocolate - but not too much sugar! For those with sensitive teeth, give your beverage a minute to cool before taking your first sip. You'll thank us later!

Make use of your kitchen - what better way to escape the cold then trying new recipes or your fall favourites? It's a great time to whip up a hearty stew or chili! It's also fun to get your kids involved in the preparation process. See below for a delicious recipe for a cold day.


Use it or lose it!

Is it time for a cleaning or to have your dental work completed?

Do You Long for a Perfect Smile?

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.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom, porcelain facings that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to cover any imperfections and fix your smile. Veneers are very thin, only about 1 mm thick. That same thickness is "smoothed" off the natural tooth surface so when the veneer is bonded to the tooth, the tooth feels and looks the same thickness as before.

Uneven, discoloured, or even damaged teeth can be restored or repaired using this procedure.

Healthy One Pot Meals

There's just something so great about getting cozy with a warm bowl of soup or stew as the season turns colder. The best part is how easy it is to make these one-pot meals - in fact, it is easier than preparing your average dinner at home, which usually involves preparing multiple recipes to get a balanced meal.
