Three changes you should make today to keep the dentist away!

Quick tips to keep your kids cavity-free.


As a dentist with three small children of my own, I understand the anxiety that children (and their parents) may have when visiting their dentist. And quite often I find myself in a situation where I need to tell loving parents that their young child has cavities. Many are shocked because they thought they were being really careful about what their kids are eating.

Everybody knows that too much candy can cause cavities. Although that's true, I wish it was that simple with candy being the only culprit. Exposure to simple sugars definitely increases the risk of dental decay, but the story doesn't end there. There are numerous factors that contribute to the formation of cavities and even snacks that you thought were healthy, could be harming your children's teeth.

Did you know that prevention is the most effective way to minimize extensive dental treatment for us all? As much as I love seeing my clients, here are 3 changes you can make TODAY to help keep your child's dental appointments to a minimum.

It's okay to let your kids indulge in the occasional treat...but only at the end of a meal! This is when salivary flow is the highest and so it's the safest time for a sweet treat. Sugary foods (like dried fruit, candies or juices) or starchy foods (like crackers, pasta or pretzels) will increase your child's risk of getting cavities when eaten as between meal snacks. Cheese, on the other hand, is a healthy snack and tooth-friendly too!


As soon as your child gets his first tooth, STOP nursing him to sleep or putting him to bed with a bottle of milk, formula or juice. These can all result in severe decay which may then require extensive treatment even in very young children. To prevent this, clean your baby's teeth with a wet washcloth, a tooth cleansing wipe (available at some dental offices) or a small soft toothbrush moistened with water before bed. And if necessary put your child to sleep with a bottle of water or a pacifier.

And finally, start looking after your own teeth. Babies are born without any cavity causing bacteria. They inherit these "sugar bugs" from their parents and caregivers through shared food, utensils, toothbrushes and even kisses. So, by looking after your own teeth, you're not only minimizing the transfer of these pesky sugar bugs, but you're also modeling behaviour that your kids will want to mimic. A win/win situation!
Parents want the best for their children. Making these simple changes will have a positive effect on your children's teeth and their health. Also, one visit to the dentist before one year of age will get your child on track to zero cavities! For example, your child's first visit at Dental Works on Cornwall is usually no more than a quick 15 minute appointment. It's also an opportunity for both you and your child get comfortable with us and the environment. We will screen your child's teeth and gums for any developing issues and discuss what preventive measures would help your child stay cavity free!


PROMO:

Have questions? Join us on Thursday, March 1st, at 11am for our monthly Kid's Corner. This month we will be focusing on: How foods and snacks affect your children's teeth. Ask Dr. Piracha any questions you may have about your baby's teeth. She will also offer a COMPLIMENTARY oral screening for your child. We'll have coffee brewing for the parents and there will be healthy snacks, a colouring station as well as stickers for any older siblings that may come along.

Please email to register as space is limited. We hope to see you there!

Style Expressions: 3,2,1 and Action

Style Expressions: 3,2,1 and Action


by MONICA ROLLING cdeca, csp, pcc

For the last 6 years I have passionately been working as a Staging Professional. Thinking this service would complement my Interior design services; I took an accreditation course with The Canadian Staging Professionals. Since then I have watch this side of my business grow at a very steady and demanding rate.

What is staging and does it work? Staging is literally putting your house and home on a stage. Putting your house on a show; where a desirable life style is displayed, for potential buyers to see and wish for.
We want to show something that will make an unforgettable “First Impression” so that they can see themselves as being part of this exciting show.

The stage must be set free of whatever is going to distract the potential buyer’s attention from appreciating the architectural features of the home, the space available and its potential.

This is why de-cluttering is so important, especially of family portraits, toys, ornaments, plants and anything that it is going to give a negative impression.

De-cluttering also applies to furniture. Oversized furniture that is blocking and entrance, a window or doors, will only tell a buyer that the place is too small.
It’s important also to show each room as its intended purpose. For example finding a dining room used as an office space; will rob a buyer of an image of a family dinner party.

Lighting is also a very important. Letting as much light into the house will make it feel spacious and give a sense of wellbeing. Artificial lighting is just as important, especially for night showings; good lighting will create a cozy atmosphere that will say I can relax in this room after a long’s day at work!”

Master bedrooms are another important selling feature in today’s market. Buyer’s busy life styles

have created the need for a master bedroom that offers a “retreat” were they can relax and enjoy before going to sleep. Making a bedroom attractive, relaxing with a touch luxury is a must!

Bathrooms too have come a long way since fluffy mats and toilet seats cover. Today’s bathroom has to offer a “Spa” experience. Especially en suit bathrooms have become a place where you can close the door and pampered yourself!
The outside of our house is just as important; You want to show that you have taken good care of the outside and kept it in very good conditions just as much as the inside.

So make the path to your home inviting and exciting, as it would be to be walking on a red carpet!

Make your potential buyers feel that they are about to see a show that they will want to see over and over again! When they move into your house!

We at Style Expressions, can help to put this show on the road; By telling you how or by doing it for you!

We offer very flexible services such as accessories rental, just in case you don’t have enough or need a different look.
We offer many other services too, such as: Interior design, Space planning, colour consultations, floral design, seasonal and special occasions staging, re-design and many more! Just ask us if we can do it!

Style Expressions is always thinking of you!!!!

Good Night Sleep Site

Good Night Sleep Site is committed to helping parents and children with all of their sleep needs. My name is Alanna McGinn, and I am the Founder and Sleep Consultant, and was once the sleep deprived parent, dealing with my first daughter and her lack of sleep. When my sleep journey began, I realized there were many parents dealing with the same sleep issues with their babies and toddlers. It was then I decided to follow my passion of helping others with their sleep needs, and Good Night Sleep Site was created.


Ask yourself the following questions. Is your child:

• Irritable and fussy around late afternoon and dinner time?
• Needing a sleep association to fall asleep? Rocking, soother, breast/bottle?
• Falling asleep randomly? While eating, while in the car?
• Taking short naps? 45 minutes or less?
• Waking up frequently throughout the night?
• Constantly getting out of his/her bed?
• Waking up too early in the morning?

If you answer yes to one or more, your child may not be getting enough sleep. We provide you with customized sleep plans and choose methods that you are comfortable with, and offer you ongoing support and service throughout the process and after. Our job isn’t done until you are all “sleeping like a baby.” We offer numerous packages that meet all needs and affordability. You are a click away from a well-rested baby and better rested you!

The Oakville School of Music & Performing Arts welcomes students to the school for a free trial lesson that will get you on the right foot in your musical journey.

The school offers private lessons on a variety of instruments including piano, guitar, violin, voice, and flute from ages 4 to adult.

include singing, movement, and rhythm exercises that make learning music fun.

The camp is designed for children ages 4 to 6 years of age, each session has a limited number of spots due to the nature of the programming. You may register for the camp online, or by calling the school to reserve a spot.

5 things every Parent should know about their children's teeth!

5 things every Parent should know about their children's teeth!


It's pretty confusing to be a parent these days. There is so much information available about our children's health and sometimes things can seem very complicated. Here are answers to the 5 questions parents ask me most often about their children's teeth. Some of the answers may surprise you!

My daughter is 6 months old and doesn't have any baby teeth, is there something wrong? There is no right or wrong when it comes to when the first baby tooth comes in or what order they come in. Some children are born with a tooth and some are over one year of age when they get their first tooth. Kids will usually have all of their baby teeth by age 3. So don't lose any sleep about this one!

When should I bring Johnny in for his first dental appointment? Children should have a first dental appointment before age one. This allows us to check to make sure things are developing well (for example, is there a tongue tie that may interfere with feeding or speech development?, are there any early signs of decay?) At this stage, we can work together to focus our attention on prevention--How to look after your baby's teeth, when to introduce fluoridated water or toothpaste, when to stop night time milk feedings, when and what to give as snacks and the list continues...

What kind of water is best for teeth? Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral and has a protective effect on teeth. Spring water and filtered water may not have enough (or any!) fluoride to help in the fight against tooth decay. If you are drinking bottled water at home or are using an in home filtration system, double check to see the amount of fluoride that is actually in the water and discuss this with your dentist to see if there is any increased risk of cavities.

I noticed that my baby has started sucking his thumb, does that mean he will have crooked teeth? If your child uses a pacifier or sucks his/her thumb it doesn't necessarily mean that they will need braces. The key here is ensuring that these habits are eliminated by around 4 years of age. Your dentist will work with you to stop the habit by this age.

Baby teeth will fall out, so why bother treating them? Though they will eventually fall out, baby teeth are very important for proper nutrition, speech development, self-esteem, and for the development of permanent teeth to name a few! Speak with your dentist if you have any concerns about your children's teeth!

PROMO:
Have questions? Join us on the first Thursday of each month at 10 am (starting February 2, 2012) for our Kid's corner. Come and enjoy a coffee with our team! This is an informal gathering to ask Dr. Piracha about your baby's teeth, she will also be available for a complementary oral screening for your child. Call or email to register. See you there!

Chi-Chi Laser Studios Review

Chi-Chi Laser Studios

PAINLESS LASER HAIR REMOVAL

"GO PAINLESS! enjoy the experience...love the results"™

Shaving is a daily hygiene maintenance for both women and men. Some of us shave everyday and some every other day.

Chi-Chi Laser Studios offers very advanced, PAINLESS laser hair removal procedure. It's performed via their next generation, government approved, medical grade Soprano XL, a continuous wave diode laser - the Gold Standard in hair removal and designed to do one thing and one thing only - permanently disable hair follicles from re-growing hair, and very effective on all skin types.

Chi-Chi Laser Studios gave me the opportunity to try out their laser hair removal. I have never had this procedure done before and I had no idea what to expect. The owner, Gloria from Chi-Chi Laser Studios reassured me that it wouldn't be painful at all. She was right!

Chi-Chi Laser Studios is located in The Pomegranate Tree. Gloria offers a very comfortable and relaxing environment. She caters to both women and men for laser hair removal services.

Some areas of treatment for women:

Upper Lip, Chin, Arms Full, Underarms, Bikini Standard, Bikini Brazilian, Legs Full.

Some areas of treatment for men:

Outer Surface of Nose, Ears, Neck, Upper Back & shoulders, Chest & Abdomen.

I decided to go ahead with the underarm laser hair removal procedure. One recommendation was to shave off the underarm hair the day before. Gloria and myself both had to wear goggles while the procedure is taking place to protect our eyes. Gloria put gel on my skin and then she started the laser treatment. It didn't hurt at all. It just felt like a ticklish feeling. It didn't burn or scar. With only 2 procedures done, I see the big effects already. I have less hair and its takes longer for it to grow back.

Repeated procedures are required every 6-8 weeks due the different phases of hair growth.

I am definitely going to book more sessions as I am happy with the results. I'm very impressed with the technology used and how safe it it. It's one less thing to worry about before going out the door. It's a simple and fast procedure. No more waxing, shaving or cuts with laser hair removal from Chi-Chi Laser Studios.

Please contact Chi-Chi Laser Studios or book a free consultation and get a free test patch to see if laser is for you.

About Chi-Chi Laser Studios

This is not a cosmetic IPL as used in most salons. This is the most advanced and effective method available to permanently treat your unwanted hair - In fact our technology was recently show cased on the Emmy award winning TV show, THE DOCTORS.
HURTING IS HISTORY - PAINFUL LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS NOW JUST AN UNPLEASANT MEMORY! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE ANY LONGER:

Perhaps you're pain intolerant, or fair haired, or suffering with hormonal induced hair or maybe you've been told lasers are just not for you..well this is all about to change.

You can now enjoy pain-free laser hair removal on any part of your body, regardless of your age, sex, skin or hair type, regardless of your budget.

Other services performed at Chi-Chi includes Infrared Laser Skin Tightening Therapy which is an effective, safe and non-surgical procedure for tightening the skin by stimulating collagen rebuilding, leading to younger looking skin. This anti-aging treatment uses laser to restore the tone and tautness of the skin with no down time.

By way of introduction we're Chi-Chi Laser Studios, pronounced [Shee - Shee]...Adjective: affectedly elegant or trendy. Noun: a chi-chi person or thing - the quality of being chi-chi.

You might characterize many of our clientele as being affectedly elegant or trendy - entitled to the best as it were...well why not? It's true, many of our friends here at Chi-Chi not only expect the best life has to offer, they insist on it. Our philosophy has always been to make certain every client on every visit enjoys the highest caliber of personal service.

In North America there are over 15,000 dryer related fires occur each year causing an estimated 97 million dollars in property loss.

Signs your dryer vent needs inspecting and cleaning include;

Does your dryer take longer than 50 minutes to dry each load?

Is the top of the dryer hot to the touch?
Clothes are hotter than usual at the end of the cycle
You cannot remember ever having your dryer vent cleaned!

Stacey made getting my body back after my second child easy, with flexible scheduling and she'd come to my house to train me. It was like having a friend looking out for my best interests and I would recommend her to anyone! I now see her once a month just for progress checks and program updates and her emails and phone calls keep me motivated. This was the best decision I have ever made for myself.


Lindsay , Oakville

I love working out outdoors but Stacey understood my reluctance to work out in a group at first because I had over 80 lbs to lose and was very self conscious. Since the start of my bootcamps until now (7 months) I have lost 63 lbs and have never felt better. I would never go anywhere else. Motivation fitness saved my health (was borderline diabetic).
