June 2013: Tips, eNews & More!

June 21st is the first day of summer as well as the summer solstice. It will be the longest sun lit day this year and we hope you make the most of it. If you are looking for an excuse to get outside around lunch time, try this: take a look at your shadow outdoors at noon on the 21st, it will be your shortest 'noontime' shadow of the year...That's worth a look!

Are your children on Summer Break?
A break from their schedule does not mean a break from proper oral hygiene. If they are off to camp or traveling over the upcoming weeks, make sure their next cleaning is scheduled ahead of time. That way we can ensure that they start summer off with a healthy smile.

Patio Season Smile
If you are interested in bringing out your beautiful, healthy smile for the endless photo opportunities of Patio Season, give us a call or request an appointment here. Now is a great time for to discuss the smile of your dreams.

Reminder:
While we understand the impulses and spontaneity that the summer can bring, please remember to notify us at least 48 hours in advance by phone if a summer activity creates the need to reschedule an appointment.

Have a great summer and Happy Fathers' Day (on the 16th) to all of the dads out there,

The team at Park Place Dental

We wish to celebrate the marriage of Dr. Kristina Lepholtz to Jud Whiteside in beautiful Muskoka Lakes on June 8, 3013.

In the future, we all have to be prepared for Dr. Lepholtz to change her professional name to Dr. Kristina Whiteside. We all wish Kristina and Jud the best for the future!

Teeth Whitening: Pros and Cons

At our office we offer both supervised in-office teeth whitening as well as whitening trays that you can use in the comfort of your own home. While 'personal makeover' programs may have helped bring whitening and other cosmetic procedures to the public's attention, the positive results of whitening speak for themselves.

Many of our patients have asked us about the pros and cons of whitening, so we are including them here.

Lighten Up this Summer!

As Spring gives way to Summer many fresh local foods are in season, making it the perfect time to start eating more raw foods. This means trying to build more of your meals around fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts. Raw foods are loaded with enzymes, vitamins and nutrients.

We are not suggesting you become a 'raw foodie' or adhere to strict guidelines, rather that you incorporate more fresh raw foods into your diet. Even if half of your meals each day consist of raw food as the foundation you will have more energy, lose weight and feel great.

Good oral health starts early. If you have children, then don't forget about our children's practice "ParkPlace Junior, General Dentists 4 Kids". Dr. Mary-Anne and Dr Kristina Lepholtz are dedicated to treating the smiles of children in a fun friendly atmosphere - in a facility designed "Only 4 Kids".

We now offer "Orthodontics 4 Kids".
Dr. Ziad Omar is the Orthodontist at our kid's practice. He is now setting up a screening program to allow us to identify kids that would benefit from preventative orthodontic services. This is designed to reduce the need for future "more complex" treatment. An ounce of prevention is usually better that a pound of cure! Dr. Omar is now taking appointments to assess your kids for preventative orthodontic services as well as conventional treatment modalities.
