November 2014: Holiday fun, Choosing a Children's Dentist and Great Gifts!

We are now open Saturdays!

It's November! How did that happen? Every year seems to fly by and as soon as November begins, we start hearing holiday music on the radio. The days get shorter and even though we're still (hopefully) at least a month away from snow, people begin to prepare for winter hibernation.

You should enjoy the month as best you can, and there are still plenty of good weather days to enjoy before the chill really starts.

Is it time for a cleaning or to have your dental work completed?

Many dental plans are based on the calendar year, so your benefits may not roll over into the new year. It's a good idea to find time for a cleaning or checkup to ensure you get the most out of your plan. Call us today, or click here to request an appointment and we will find a time that fits your schedule.

Have a safe and healthy month,

Choosing a Dentist for Your Child

Early dental visits have the power to shape your child's attitude towards the dentist and their oral health for the rest of their lives. That's why it is important to develop a positive relationship between your child and their dentist from an early age, and that begins with making the right choice for your pediatric dentist.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a dentist, and we've got a few questions you should ask before making your decision!

Apple Berry Crisp

We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yet many of us skip this meal or try to replace it with a prepackaged breakfast or power bar. While these bars offer a high level of convenience they also offer a high level of sugar and calories.

This month's recipe is full of fiber, vitamins, antioxidants and is low in sugar. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert or a midday snack. It will also stay for a few days if covered and refrigerated allowing you to make it on the weekend and enjoy it for the first few days of the work week.

Apple Berry Crisp

Filling:

6-8 McIntosh or Golden Delicious Apples
8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch of sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of cardamom
1/2 cup apple juice mixed with 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder (this acts like corn starch)
