Choose Healthy Snacks for Back-to-School (and the Office)
A great dental health educational resource that helps
explain everything we do from dental procedures, dental
diagnoses, dental terms and more. There is a wealth of information available at www.toothiq.com. We will be adding videos to our website starting next month.
If you or your child plan to play any contact sports this
fall we suggest getting a custom mouth guard made. They come in all colours of the rainbow so it’s easy to find one that will go with your team colours. They do not take very long to make (sport mouth guards are usually done for the next business day) and they only cost $99. That is a great investment.
$100 CASH / MONTH
Contest runs from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012. The top referring patient of the month will receive a $100 cash reward. The top referring patient of the year will receive their choice of an iPad or $500 cash. Prizes must be picked up by the winning patient at the office – picture is optional but we will publish your first name and city of residence on the website and the following newsletter. Don't forget to give your name - In order for a referral to count towards the contest, the new patient has to advise us at Lakeside Dental Clinic that they were referred to the dental clinic by you when they come in for their appointment.

Wanting a brighter, whiter smile? At Lakeside Dental Clinic we offer the
Whitening For Life program. We have introduced the Whitening For Life program into our office
to reward you, our loyal patients and brighten your smile for the lowest fees possible. The program is a bit different than our previous whitening options of Zoom and Day White tray systems. We still offer Zoom Whitening in the office for those that require a very quick result. With the Whitening For Life system the same whitening effects take place but it is designed to minimize sensitive teeth and save you substantial money. We will take high quality impressions and provide you with custom bleaching trays as well as bleaching gel at a 60% price reduction. At each of your 6 month cleanings we will give you a touch up kit at an 80% price reduction. It is this continual touch up over time that really makes the whitening effect work.
This works out to $199* for initial set up and only $5 for extra bleaching gel at future appointments.
In order to qualify for the touch up kits at this price you simply have to keep your six month preventative visits current. If you need to cancel or change an appointment we ask that you give us 24 hours notice. *A portion of the profits are donated to Breast Cancer Research.
1. If your dog hasn't received a dental exam, take him to the vet first! He may require a cleaning, and then you can maintain his clean teeth at home.
2. Create a regular dental care routine at home. For example, you can brush your dog's teeth with special canine toothpaste.
3. Never use human toothpaste or mouthwash. They can make your dog sick.
4. Start early! Grown dogs can learn to become comfortable with brushing, but make things easier for yourself by working with your dog as a puppy.
5. Take your dog to the vet if you see signs of dental problems:
- Bad breathe - Change in eating or chewing habits - Pawing at the face or mouth - Depression - Excessive drooling - Misaligned or missing teeth - Red, swollen, painful or bleeding gums - Yellowish-brown tartar crust along the gum line - Bumps or growths within the mouth - Discolored, broken, missing or crooked teeth
6. Aggressive chewing on hard objects can cause broken teeth. Make sure you are providing safe objects for your dog to gnaw on.
7. During your dog's annual check-ups, make sure your veterinarian takes a good look at his or her teeth to keep an eye out for any issue you may miss. *From www.cesarsway.com
