Keep Summer Safe
Keep Yourself and Your Family Summer Safe
Let us remind you of some common sense tips to keep safe under the weather and within your environment, as well as how to take care of your skin, for beauty as well as health.
The sun
It warms the earth and helps the plants grow. We don’t often think about it except in relation to the fun we can have when it is shining. But, the sun gives off ultraviolet rays that can damage our skin if we are not careful. Whenever you or your family are going to be out in the sun for long periods of time, follow a few safety tips.
Do You Realize The Importance Of Dental Care?
That may sound drastic but it is true. A cavity results from tooth decay and dentures or dental implants are the end result of teeth that have decayed beyond repair. Poor nutrition and lifestyle habits such as cigarette smoking can both contribute to tooth decay, but by far the most common reason these types of tooth problems develop is improper dental care. Teeth that aren't cared for properly can also cause the dreaded 'bad breath', a foul odor that others shun.
Environmental Dentistry
What Is Environmental Dentistry?
The environment is an integral part of who we are. As citizens of this planet, we rely on the environment for the oxygen we breathe and the food that we eat. In turn, it relies on us for the care it needs to continue to exist and maintain a viable ecosystem.
This environmental consciousness has trickled down to dentistry. There are now dentists that strive to achieve a more ethically and environmentally responsible practice that treats the patient as a whole. Here are a few examples.
The Dangers of Tick Bites
We are told not to let the bedbugs bite, but what about ticks? When the weather gets warm, they can come out in droves. Trees are not just pretty to look at or sit under to get cool; they become places where you can encounter ticks.
Ticks can be either hard or soft shelled. They have several segmented legs like spiders. A tick’s primary source of food is blood. It doesn’t have to be your blood. They have no particular affinity for humans, but you might be the source of their next meal if you are nearby.
Vitamins To Keep You Well
Vitamins and minerals are essential to our well being. We should get all vitamins and minerals we need from food... but it is not always go. There are occasions when we need a little extra - pregnancy, someone recovering from illness or we don't have time to cook and restore to processed food all the time.
