October 2014: Oakville Dental Newsletter
The summer was too short, wasn't it?
The temperature is beginning to drop, so what are we going to do?
Embrace it!
Fall is a beautiful season full of wonderful changes - the leaves, the brisk air and the cozy sweaters. Love it
or hate it ... everything is now pumpkin-flavoured!
Thanksgiving (October 13th) and Halloween (October 31st) are just around the corner. Halloween falls on a
Friday, meaning that ghosts and goblins will be out early and all through the evening, so be careful as you
head home from work or school. As always, with Thanksgiving and Halloween kicking off the holiday season,
remember not to over indulge too early and avoid binging on candy too much.
What's Your Plan?
Is your dental plan based on the calendar year?
If so, your coverage maximums start over on January 1st, and your unused benefits may not roll over into the
New Year. That means if you don't use them, you lose them!

If I need a crown...does that mean I need a root canal too?
In a word, no.
This is another one of those common questions I get asked all the time. When I tell a patient who has a broken down tooth they need a crown to preserve, I am asked about root canal treatment before the crown. People are relieved to hear that a tooth does not need root canal treatment before "crowning" as long as the tooth is
healthy. Generally crowns are to repair broken down or weakend teeth. What gets people confused is that often, after a root canal, a crown is often recommended.

Happy Halloween! Brush Brush Brush.
Whether you have little ghost and goblins around the house or not, the lure of Halloween candy and
treats will be all around this month.
If you do have young ones, there are a few tips we can offer before their inevitable increase of candy
consumption.
For Safety:
Inspect any candy received during trick or treating adventures.
For Health:
Limit the amount of sweets they consume.
Ensure they eat a large, healthy meal before they venture out (if they are not hungry, they will be
less likely to sneak too many treats during their journey).
For their teeth:
Speak to us about dental sealants to offer increased protection for their teeth.

Pumpkin Spice Latté
It seems like every café now has their own take on the Pumpkin Spice Latté. What most have in
common is they don't have any real pumpkin! Why not make your own at home using real pumpkin? Drink this
beverage and stay cozy during the autumn.
