What's New!
Take Our Kids To Work!
We were extremely happy to welcome Laura's daughter, grade 9 student Mallory, to our office on November 2 as part of the "Take Our Kids To Work" program.
We were excited to show her the full dental experience, helping patients achieve great smiles! As you can see from the photos she became very involved in the patient care and learned a lot being about hygienist, just like her mom. She was a natural!
Thank you to all the patients for allowing her to have this experience. We wish Mallory the best in her bright future.

Have you begun thinking of your New Year's resolutions?
Let us add one that is easy to accomplish and will offer you health and wellness benefits that are far beyond the difficulty of keeping the resolution. Are you ready for it?
Drink more water in 2012!
Your body contains between 50-80% water and needs (6-8 glasses) of water per day to function properly. While most of our daily water intake comes from foods and sources other than simply drinking a glass of water, use this resolution to simplify your water intake. Proper hydration aids in weight control, toxin release, reduces the occurrence or severity of headaches, muscle aches and much more.
To help you remember to drink more water try attaching it to tasks you already do every day.
Here is a simple schedule to show you how to easily include more water in your day. Click here to see!

Yam Pecan Pie
This time of year there are plenty of holiday parties and get-togethers to attend. If you want to bring something a little different check out this month's recipe! Some of the ingredients may require you to explore the supermarket, but the result will be delicious and a great conversation piece.
The recipe calls for yams but you can substitute sweet potatoes if yams are unavailable. Yams and sweet potatoes look the same, they taste the same and unless you are a culinary expert you likely never really know which you are eating!
When it comes to their nutritional content and health benefits both yams and sweet potatoes are similar. They are a great source of beta carotene, an antioxidant found in most orange fleshed foods such as mangoes and carrots. They are also high in vitamin A and C and contain a good amount of thiamine. They are nourishing to the spleen, pancreas and stomach.
