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.
Eat well, be active!
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?

Getting to the root of the situation!
The root canal procedure is often the most effective way to save a natural tooth once a cavity/decay, infection or injury has gone too far for a simple repair.
The outer layer of your tooth is made of a hard substance called enamel. This layer is made to withstand chewing forces and the daily activities of your mouth. It also protects the dentin and pulp portion of your teeth that are connected directly to your bloodstream and nourish the tooth.
The layer of enamel, although strong, is by no means indestructible. Once a problem has passed the enamel and entered the dentin and pulp of your tooth, infection often occurs. This can be painful for your tooth and your health can be adversely affected. Root Canal Therapy is the removal of the 'root' where the blood vessels and nerves are found. This stops any further infection from entering the bloodstream as well as removing the source of pain from your mouth. The area or 'canal' is then filled and the tooth is repaired with a crown.
This allows you to keep your natural tooth as the place holder in your mouth rather than needing an implant, bridge or other false tooth. Root Canal Therapy may be the solution for removing that aching in your smile.

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).
