June 2016: Tips, eNews & More!
Summer is finally here, with June 21st being the official first day of summer and the longest sun lit day of
the year. Whether you're drawn to the beach, the campfire or the patio we hope you make the most of the warm
weather and get outside - it will be winter again before you know it.
As your children are wrapping up another school year be sure to schedule them for a dental appointment before
their schedule is filled with trips, summer camps, and summer jobs.
We also want to wish a Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads on June 19th. If you're having trouble coming up
with something special to do, check out this top 25 gifts
list. There's also no shame in sticking to the classics like golfing or fishing, ties & socks - they're
classics for a reason!
Wishing you and your family a safe and wonderful summer.

Join Us in the End Women's Cancer One Walk!

One Walk, One Goal
All Cancers
September 10th, 2016

To our wonderful patients,
For the last 9 out of 10 years, there have been a group of us that have walked alongside other participants in the 25km One Walk, benefiting the Princess Margaret Hospital.
Each year the participants raise millions of dollars that go to research at the Princess Margaret hospital, one of the leading research facilities in the world, to aid in the search for a cure for all women's cancers. This year the walk has changed to a 1 day 25km walk.
Once again, Jacquie and Heather S. will be participating in the walk around the streets of Toronto. Now the 1 day, 25km walk is for ALL cancers and we hope that the funds we raise will help researchers find a cure that could end this disease that affects so many people around the world, no matter who or where they are.
We are walking for our families, our friends and our patients that have been affected by cancer. In the 9 years that our group has walked, we have raised over $100,000!

Try Mouthwash with Essential Oils
Have you heard of biofilm?
Biofilm is a gooey substance that can form on any surface
containing water and is exposed to bacteria. You can find
biofilm on surfaces like sinks, countertops, cutting
boards and yes, even inside your own mouth - Yuck!
Biofilm on your teeth can lead to tooth decay and
periodontal disease so it's important to take the
necessary preventative measures.
Luckily we can prevent biofilm from forming by practicing
good oral care including the use of mouthwash. Mouthwash
is a great way to leave your mouth feeling nice and clean
while also combating cavities and gum disease. It can
also help prevent plaque from building up on your teeth
and gums. Plaque is a type of yellowish biofilm that can
form on the surface of your teeth and negatively affect
your oral health.

Honey Grilled Shrimp
With the cold weather behind us you're probably ready to take a break from those heavy, hearty meals like stew
and chili. It's time to get out the patio furniture and fire up the grill for your summer favorites.
This month we're keeping it light with honey grilled seafood. Feel free to get creative by picking up some
fresh fruit or vegetables and making kabobs.
