October means leaves will be changing colours and the temperature dropping at least a little. It's the perfect time to go on walks or hikes in the crisp morning air, and take beautiful pictures in this short, colourful season.

This is also the month of giving thanks - We would like to thank you for choosing us as your dental care provider, and letting us take care of you and your family's oral health.

And of course, how can we forget our favourite part of October - Halloween! It's time to dust off your ghost and goblin costumes because they're in season again. Looking to add more thrill this month? Check out the Harvest Fest at Springridge for the perfect pumpkin to carve, or the annual Halloween Haunt at Wonderland. Try not to eat too much candy, but if you do, make sure you and your kids brush and floss your teeth right after. You'll thank us for that tip at your next appointment.

Be safe and healthy,

Whether you have ghosts or goblins around the house or not, the lure of Halloween candy and treats will be around this month.
