Candy season is once again upon us.

We’ve weathered back-to-school time, following a summer full of fun, and are now into the autumn of sports practices, extra-curricular activities and evening classes.
Halloween Lakeport St. Catharines
At Lakeport Dental, we like to tell our clients that autumn is a great time to schedule family dental checkups; to switch out summer’s worn-out toothbrush and to begin thinking about fun alternatives to candy, during candy season.

Some make it; some don’t; but just taking the small step of acknowledging change is needed can often give a person the boost they need to seek an improved lifestyle.
​
Lakeport Dental staff suggest that if you are thinking of making changes to improve your body’s health, now is a good time to also make changes to your oral health habits. These ones are simple and easy: Just two small changes to your daily habits can lead to an improved smile.

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE .. LET'S GRAB A WATER!

3/4/2018

0 Comments

 
When it’s warmer inside than it is outside, the last thing you might crave is a glass of cold water. But your body still needs it.
​
It’s pretty easy to become dehydrated in the winter, what with Southern Ontario’s dry, heated interiors and cold, dry exteriors. While thirst is a good indication of dehydration, it usually comes too late: If you are thirsty, you may already be dehydrated.
Water Lakeport St. Catharines
Other symptoms of dehydration may include chapped lips and skin; an annoying, dry cough; nosebleeds; a mild headache that won’t go away, and skin blemishes.
​
Avoiding dehydration is important for your overall health - and that includes your oral health, too. Adequate water intake will keep your salivary glands operating properly, helping rid your mouth of excess food debris and bacteria.

LISTEN TO YOUR TEETH: GO EASY ON THE SWEETS

3/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter and many other cultural celebrations make up what we like to call “candy season,” a time of successive holidays that offer sweets a-plenty to all.

​Exactly why we need sweets to commemorate special holidays can be linked to family traditions, rather that the actual reason for those holidays.
Sweets Lakeport St. Catharines
We surveyed the staff at Lakeport Dental, and many said family holiday traditions involved special baking, sweets and special meals. Even Valentine’s Day, which not everyone considers a holiday, offered a reason for families to seek special mealtimes together and bake special treats for loved ones.
​
It seems to be everywhere, that sweet stuff, linked to our cultural celebrations and popping up on television and the Internet with advertising promoting its ability to take you past the afternoon slump.

QUENCH YOUR THIRST WITH ALTERNATIVES TO JUICE, POP

Lakeport Dental staff are firm believers in educating our clients about their oral health. We want everyone to be able to make good choices when it comes to staying hydrated and protecting their smiles.
Pop Can Lakeport St. Catharines
In Western culture, we have so many choices for food and drink items, it’s almost embarrassing.nChoices for drinking items, in particular, are so plentiful, it’s often hard to choose.

Lakeport Dental staff know that we are creatures of habit, so when we reach for something to quench our thirst, it’s going to be something we can easily get, without thinking too much about what it contains or what it might do to us.

Here’s where our education program comes in: If you choose to quench your thirst with anything other than water - and there are smart choices out there - you may be compromising your oral and overall health.

At Lakeport Dental, we tell our clients that late spring is an awesome time to schedule family dental checkups - to start out fresh with a new toothbrush and get everyone ready for summer vacation.

​Also, it’s a great time to catch any damage left behind in everyone’s mouth by the sweet stuff we all enjoyed during the eight months that make up candy season
Easter Bunny Lakeport St. Catharines
​Beginning in October with Thanksgiving and Halloween, and lasting until the Easter basket is empty, the prevalence of sweets and our inability to keep from enjoying them can lead to damage to our teeth.

It’s almost summertime.
​
If the rain ever stops, Niagara’s awesome trails, paths, parks and fun places will soon be full of families, all stretching their legs after a long winter and enjoying the great outdoors.
Mouthguard Lakeport St. Catharines
Baseball diamonds will be occupied, and soccer stars will take to the field, ready for action. Tennis, volleyball, swimming and cycling will take place in parks, backyards and facilities throughout the region. Families will go hiking with the dog; kids will be learning new skateboard and roller-skate tricks, and runners will be lacing up their sneakers to exercise in the great outdoors.

Does this sound like you, or someone you know? If so, the staff at Lakeport Dental want you to be aware of a few safety tips.

Will you be going adventuring this summer?

​At Lakeport Dental, we think adventuring can mean lots of things: Going on vacation; going camping; visiting with friends; celebrating special occasions; hosting pool and barbecue parties, and attending local Niagara events, such as fairs, carnivals and signature summer events like Canal Days in Port Colborne.
Cotton Candy Lakeport St. Catharines
Canal Days takes place this year Aug. 4 to Aug. 7, with activities and attractions that celebrate the history of the area and its unique locale. Visitors can take in all that the festival offers – live entertainment; tall ships; awesome food and snack items; heritage artisans and crafts; museum displays; carnivals rides and games; shopping kiosks, and Ontario’s largest outdoor classic car and international kite show.

At Lakeport Dental, we know how life can be hectic for families, especially when September’s routines keep parents hopping and children are busy with schoolwork and extra-curricular activities.

​It’s back-to-school time, and when that hits, we all feel the tension summer’s passing brings.
New Toothbrush Lakeport St. Catharines
Much like you check your smoke detector batteries when daylight saving time arrives and departs, always replace your toothbrush every three months as recommended by the Canadian Dental Association. At Lakeport Dental, we have a system. We replace our toothbrushes at back-to -school time, at Christmas break, at March break and when school ends for the summer break.
