The days are getting shorter and the air crisper and dryer. Even though it comes every year, the first cold snap of winter can come as a complete surprise. Take a deep breath, relax and use November as a transition month. The Air Conditioner should be covered, and water to exterior taps shut-off. Move winter jackets and sweaters to the front of the closet instead of digging past summer clothes for a pair of gloves and a scarf when the winter takes hold.

Did you test the smoke detectors around your house for the winter season. First check to see if the battery is still strong (if you can't remember when you last changed it, CHANGE IT NOW). Secondly check to see if the actual detector is still good, smoke detectors are generally good for about 10 years (look for the expiry date on the side or by the battery panel of the actual smoke detector).

Is it time for a cleaning or to have your dental work completed?
If your dental benefits are based on the calendar year, your maximums may not roll over into the New Year. If you don't use them they will go to waste.

Wishing you a month filled with smiles,

Bloor Dental Health Centre

Is it a perfect TEN! A seven, or perhaps even lower?
Does your smile make you look younger, sexier, and smarter?
It can.

When you look at pictures do you ever wish your teeth were straighter, whiter, more aligned? Cosmetic dentistry allows dentists to perform porcelain veneer 'smile makeovers' which can address all of these issues. We are delighted to be able to offer this revolutionary technique to our patients.

What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are custom, porcelain facings that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to cover any imperfections and fix your smile. The veneers are very thin, only about 1 mm thick. That same thickness is "smoothed" off the natural tooth surface so when the veneer is bonded to the tooth, the tooth feels and looks the same thickness as before. Uneven, discoloured, or even damaged teeth can be restored or repaired using this procedure.

What makes Porcelain Veneers so special?
Not all veneers are created equal. Your face and smile are unique, as such, we will create a unique veneer to match the shape of your face and make the best smile for your mouth.

ENERGY GRANOLA BAR

During a fast paced day many of us turn to cereal or energy bars as a quick snack to help push back or even replace a meal. Through marketing and often misleading packaging, these 'energy bars' lead us to believe that they are a healthy alternative. While some may be what they claim, others are not even made from foods at all, rather composed of synthetic derivatives from poor-quality sources. Here is some advice on what to look for as a warning sign to stay away or perhaps think of them as good for you as a candy bar.

You can also make your own whole-food energy bars instead. Click here for this month's healthy recipe "Energy Granola Bars"
