September is a busy month filled with excitement and changes. New jobs and projects, new schools, new activities, new opportunities! This month also hosts the Terry Fox Run with events across Canada raising money for cancer research, as well as World Heart Day.


September 22 is the first day of autumn, a favourite season among many in our office. Soon the leaves will change colour and our warmer clothes will make their way to the front of our closets.
	We will also have the opportunity to partake in the many activities that present themselves this time of year. These include nature hikes, indoor sporting leagues, and a family favourite, apple picking. If you are in the Toronto area during the evening of October 4th plan to explore the contemporary art exhibits of 'nuit blanche'.

If you are enrolling yourself or your children in a sporting league this season, we strongly recommend speaking to us about protecting your teeth. A properly fitted mouthguard will add a level of safety that over the counter alternatives may not provide. You can read more about mouthguards in this month's tip.

A crown is a covering that sits over the top of the tooth.
Crowns protect, cover, seal and strengthen your tooth. When a filling just won't do the job, we often turn to the crown.

There are many situations that may call for a crown:

When large old fillings break down, or get decay around them, the tooth often needs to be crowned. It is important to crown a tooth that has been structurally weakened to prevent further damage such as cracking or breaking.

So we're a nation full of hockey players! Early morning practices, interesting smelling hockey bag, and missing teeth.

Damaged teeth are a common injury in our sporting youth and adults. Most sporting leagues demand that participants wear appropriate safety equipment such as helmets, face masks, back and shoulder protection etc. Yet for some reason it is often up to the participant to choose to protect their teeth.

We can't guarantee that you'll keep your winning record, but I can help you protect your winning smile.
