November 2017: Tips, ENews & More!

 

November is upon us and that means the end of the year isn't far behind. Pumpkin spice lattes have made their annual appearance, bad mustaches for a worthy cause are on the rise while brightly coloured leaves are falling. The heavy jackets are out and there's a lot to be done in the coming colder months - holiday shopping, snow to be shoveled, and of course, taking care of any outstanding dental concerns before your insurance renews in January.

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

If you're still nursing a candy hangover, but are craving more, did you know that the Toronto Chocolate Festival runs all month? Hockey fans will be gearing up to watch the Legends Classic match and see who will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, which will be announced November 10-13. And why not kick off the holiday season with a bang with the Cavalcade of Lights fireworks show on November 25th.


Be safe and healthy,



The team at Dentistry in Oak Ridges






Snoring & its Health Consequences

 

A healthy individual typically spends a third of their life asleep. This is the time when your body rests, grows, and restores itself. It should therefore not come as a surprise that regular disruption or loss of sleep could lead to potentially serious health consequences.

Regular snorers may not be aware that their snoring is likely an indication of a more serious underlying issue, a medical condition called Sleep Apnea.

People who suffer from Sleep Apnea have higher rates of strokes, heart attacks , high blood pressure , type 2 diabetes and earlier onset of dementia.
