Happy 144th Birthday Canada!
We hope you enjoyed the long weekend in celebration of Canada's independence. Did you know that although we officially became a country in 1867, the final step in our independence took place in 1982? So I guess, happy 29th birthday Canada?
Patio season is well under way and the cameras of family members and friends seem to be out in full effect. If you've been considering bringing out the best in your smile for the summer, request an appointment today. There are plenty of summer gatherings and photo opportunities ahead.

Please Note: We understand the impulses and spontaneity that the summer can bring, please remember to notify us at least 48 hours in advance by phone if a summer activity creates the need to reschedule an appointment.

Be Active, Eat Well
While, being active, wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated may be overriding themes of the summer, we would like to add a tasty tip to your summer mantra. Eat more fruits and vegetables. With weekend farmers markets scheduled around the city it is easy to stock up on fresh produce that is healthy and delicious. According to Canada's Food Guide, an adult should be eating between 7-10 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. How many servings have you had today?


Have a safe and healthy summer from,

Your bouncing baby has been sleeping and eating for months now: don't forget the importance of of cleaning their mouths. A baby's gums and mouth can be cleaned using an infant tooth brush that slides onto your finger. Do not use toothpaste; water is fine for cleaning a baby's mouth. Toothpaste can be added in a pea sized amount when your child is old enough to understand not to swallow the paste. Even then we advise not to use a fluoride toothpaste until your child is around two years old. Click here for advice for your children and dental care.

In keeping with the themes of patio season and eating more fruits and vegetables, it is only fitting that we offer you a recipe for nutritious home made veggie burgers. You may not have some of the ingredients in your pantry, but you should be able to find them during your farmer's market adventure or during a trip to your local grocery store (the result is worth the trip in both taste as well as health benefits).
