Spring is Coming!
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. One week of nice spring weather will make us quickly forget about all that cold. No more heavy winter coats, gloves and hats. It is a beautiful time of year because everything is fresh and new. We hope you have the opportunity to take a few days off and enjoy some fun spring activities!
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,

Are You A Teeth Grinder?
Bruxism is the term used to describe the grinding and clenching of teeth, often during sleep. As with most problems that occur during sleep, bruxism often goes undetected until a spouse or partner hears the grinding at night or damage is detected by your dentist.
Bruxism can be caused by several factors including stress, a reaction to pain, certain sleep disorders, or teeth that are misaligned.

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!
