May 2012: Tips, eNews and More!
 
As your partner in oral health and beauty we want to help you make the most out of every season. To improve your spring experience we can help in the following ways:

Sports leagues - A professionally fitted mouth guard can add to your safety as well as your game.
Patio season - A smile enhancement (such as bonding or veneers to fix that gap between your teeth) will encourage you to smile more often for photos.
Mother's Day Gift - What better way tell Mom that you still think she's beautiful than with an offer to whiten her smile? Our Spring Whitening special: Our Spring Whitening Special: REV is $199 (regularly $350). We also offer the Spa Dent teeth whitening system. Click here for details. Great ideas for Mother's Day!

Are You Ready To Quit?

 
Bad breath, stained teeth, an increased risk of oral cancers... the oral health related reasons to end your relationship with tobacco is endless.

May 31st is World No-Tobacco Day. If you were looking for a quit date, we can't think of a more definitive one on the calendar.

For more information about World No-Tobacco Day go here.

Whether you smoke or not, oral cancer screening is an integral part of your routine dental exam. If we haven't seen your smile in a while you can request an appointment here.

Reminders:

May 13th is Mothers day, May 21st is Victoria Day. Both are great reasons to get together with family and friends and enjoy the season.

Wishing you countless reasons to smile,

Dr. Jordan Benedict and Team

The Spa Dent teeth whitening system is now available at Dr. Jordan Benedict's Port Hope Dental Office. With this in-office whitening system, teeth may whiten 2 - 8 shades in as little as 30 minutes. Spa Dent whitening uses a cool blue and red LED light that activates the product, whitening your teeth deeper and faster for longer lasting results. There is virtually no sensitivity.

We recommend that you get your teeth cleaned before getting the whitening done for best results. Click here!

What Are the Risks Associated with Energy Drinks?


 
Many of us have come to rely on energy drinks for an extra boost but have you considered their effect on your smile? These drinks can be very damaging to tooth enamel due to their ability to decalcify (or dissolve) the enamel, which is critical for maintaining the strength of the tooth.

What are the risks associated with energy drinks? Energy drinks contain corrosive acids. These acids leach minerals out of your tooth's enamel. Enamel is the cover that protects the visible part of your teeth. Once your enamel is gone it does not regenerate. These problems are heightened for teens and adolescents because their teeth are not fully matured and therefore not as resistant to these acid attacks.
