Happy Nutrition Month, a Quick Reminder and March Break Fun!

Do you deserve a break?

It has been an especially cold winter and while the days are getting a little longer and warmer every day, the cold can take its toll on everybody. As spring approaches, take time to relax.

It is also a good time to get ahead of your dental care before summer really starts. What better time than now to make an appointment for the whole family?

March is a great time to start getting fit for the summer, so it is appropriate that March is National Nutrition Month and this year, the theme is 'Simply Cook and Enjoy!' Proper nutrition is integral to overall health and vitality. The foods you choose to eat also impact your oral health from the moment you put them in your mouth.

Have a fun and safe month,

The Team at ParkPlace Dental

Mind the Gap!

Are you hesitant to show your teeth when you smile? Is your smile missing something? Maybe even a full tooth!

Many people, for one reason or another, have lost a tooth. Reasons range from poor dental hygiene to any variety of accidents. Whatever the reason for the missing tooth we can repair your smile and replace our tooth with a dental implant.

A dental implant is a small prosthetic post that is placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. The post functions as the root portion of a lost natural tooth and serves as an anchor for a replacement tooth. An artificial tooth is then attached to the post. Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth - in fact, no one other than you and your dentist will be able to tell the difference.

Dr. Svoboda has placed and restored over 3000 dental implants – that means he can usually do your implant treatment "from start to finish".

Guilt-Free Comfort Food

A big bowl of pasta makes great comfort food. Who can resist rich pasta topped with a thick and creamy sauce? And despite how delicious this recipe is, there's no reason to be afraid of carbs and calories. This Brown Rice Pesto Pasta is complete comfort without the guilt!

Pesto is a fun, easy sauce to make. It is full of chlorophyll and protein. The miso and pinenuts give it a "cheesy" flavour. Pesto tastes great on anything from brown rice pasta and quinoa, to homemade pizza crust, on wraps or simply as a dip for veggies. If beans are added to this recipe it will give your pasta a hearty boost of protein and fiber and make each bowl of pasta more filling!

A lot was accomplished over March break! Dr. Mary-Anne Svoboda, Dr. Kristina Lepholtz and our Orthodontist, Dr. Ziad Omar are ready. They are ready to do what is best to help your children enjoy the benefits of good oral health. Your kids will thank you with their beautiful, healthy smiles.

Dentistry has come a long way over the last 20 years giving our kids a better chance at healthy teeth and protecting them from the pain, suffering and financial strain that is still far too common in our adult population. Serious dental problems are also far too common in nations that are not very advanced in child care. We are very lucky to be growing up in Canada!

Hope to see you soon at ParkPlace Junior, General Dentists 4 Kids.
