The Olympics have come to a close but the memories are still fresh in many Canadian's minds. We are extremely proud of our athletes who won 26 medals including our first gold medal on home soil.

Did any sport spark your curiosity?

Canada offers the ideal climate for an endless variety of sports and activities. If a particular sport caught your attention, get involved. You don't have to perform at an Olympic level to enjoy staying active.

March 20th is the first day of spring and many around the office are waiting for the warming weather with great anticipation. March Break is also quickly approaching for many of you.

Are you heading somewhere over the break?
Remember a break from routine does not include a break from proper oral hygiene. This is a great time to come in for a cleaning. You can request an appointment here.

If you are staying in town and looking for things to do in and around the GTA during the break visit this link.

Many of us have come to rely on energy drinks for an extra boost but have you considered their effect on your smile? These drinks can be very damaging to tooth enamel due to their ability to decalcify (or dissolve) the enamel, which is critical for maintaining the strength of the tooth.

What are the risks associated with energy drinks?

Energy drinks contain corrosive acids. These acids leach minerals out of your tooth's enamel. Once your enamel is gone it does not regenerate. These problems are heightened for teens and adolescents because their teeth are not fully matured and therefore not as resistant to these acid attacks.

We're sure you've been told to eat your vegetables countless times for as long as you can remember. Vegetables are a source of many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients that your body needs. In particular green vegetables that are readily available at your local grocery store can add a vital piece to your daily nutrition. Whether you incorporate vegetables into your recipes or eat them on their own as a snack they can have a positive effect on your body.

Here is a soup recipe from fullynourished.ca that packs a powerful punch of greens into your day.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 cups green beans, chopped
