January 2013: Tips, eNews & More!

Happy New Year!

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and were able to enjoy some time with family and friends.

We are happy to announce that we are expanding our services to include adult orthodontics. Dr. Ziad Omar is an experienced orthodontist and is now taking appointments at ParkPlace Dental Centre. You will find it convenient to have Dr. Omar participate in the treatment planning process of your dental care. Dr. Omar can align your teeth to help you get the smile you always wanted. He can do it considering many different treatment modalities including conventional or clear ceramic braces or removable braces such as "Invisalign". Welcome Dr. Omar!

We are happy to announce the addition of some very significant technology to our office. We now have a hard tissue CT Scanner. Both Dr. Emil Svoboda and Dr Mary-Anne Svoboda took some courses last year to allow our office to acquire and use this special equipment. It is great for taking 3 dimensional measurable images of teeth and jaws. We wanted this technology to help with reconstructive treatment involving dental implants. But this technology will also help in diagnosis of pathology and make extractions of wisdom teeth even safer.

Thank you to everyone who completed our online survey last month. Many of your suggestions will be incorporated into our office over the New Year.

Is quitting smoking on your list of 'to-dos' for 2013?
National Non Smoking week is January 20-26. If you have tried in the past to quit or are looking for options to ensure your best chances of success, please speak to us. We may be able to help you! Once you've quit smoking we can help you make smoking a distant memory. Removing tobacco stains and working to reverse damage done to your gums and soft tissue will restore your smiles health and beauty.

Brush After Lunch

Look both ways before you cross the street, always hold an adults hand and brush your teeth after every meal were good pieces of advice when you were a kid. Well guess what, you should always look both ways, it's nice to hold someone's hand and you should still brush your teeth after every meal.

Make a habit out of keeping a tooth brush at the office and take a moment to clean your teeth after lunch, (your email can wait).

Are You Throwing Away the 'Best' Part?

We wanted to take a moment to offer new meaning to some old advice your parents used to offer; "Eat your fruits and veggies!"

Fruits and vegetables are a must-have in your diet. They are rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins, (usually) low in calories, and excellent energy sources.

Here's the twist. When your parents told you to 'eat your fruits and vegetables', they were referring to the sliced, skinned and prepared portion on your plate - we are referring to 'all of the fruit and vegetable', skins, tops and stems included.

Skins, tops and stems often have higher concentrations of nutrients than the fruits or vegetables themselves.
