September is a month of transition, and it's not just the weather that's changing. Many families have kids going back to school, and a change in their routine can be more demanding on you. Added stress may have you looking for ways to save time, but try to take a moment to relax and focus on yourself.

Studies have shown that stress and oral health are closely related, but small lifestyle changes are easy to implement. A healthy breakfast boosts performance by improving your concentration and overall health. Take some time to brush and floss before setting out on your day, and the results will assist you in maintaining a happy and healthy smile.

Is it time for a cleaning or to have unfinished dental work completed? If your dental benefits are based on the calendar year, your maximums may not roll over into the new year. Our calendar fills up quickly this time of year, so we encourage you to book an appointment today before the new year.

Just a reminder that DNDC will be closed on Monday, September 3rd, for Labour Day. For any dental emergency during this time, please contact the Dental Emergency Clinic 416-485-7121. We will resume regular office hours on Tuesday, September 5th at 8:00am.

Have a wonderful holiday!
