June 2016: Tips, eNews & More!
Summer is finally here, with June 21st being the official first day of summer and the longest sun lit day of the year. Whether you're drawn to the beach, the campfire or the patio we hope you make the most of the warm weather and get outside - it will be winter again before you know it.
As your children are wrapping up another school year be sure to schedule them for a dental appointment before their schedule is filled with trips, summer camps, and summer jobs.
We also want to wish a Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads on June 19th. If you're having trouble coming up with something special to do, check out this top 25 gifts list from a popular men's website. There's also no shame in sticking to the classics like golfing or fishing, ties & socks - they're classics for a reason!
Until next month, stay warm and keep smiling,
Dr. Bruno Cavatassi & the Kingsbury dental team

Signs of Oral Cancer
|
|
While hearing the term 'cancer' can be scary, early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. Many oral
cancers have a high success rate of being treated, especially when found early.
The term 'Oral Cancer' includes cancerous growths in the cheeks, lips, mouth, throat, sinus, tongue, or anywhere in the oral cavity. As with most cancers, age is the primary risk factor for oral cancer, as
most people diagnosed with a form of oral cancer are over 50.
Symptoms of Oral Cancers include:
- a lump in your neck or throat
- bleeding of your lips or oral cavity
- visible sore on your lip or in your mouth that does not seem to heal
- white or red patches (either on your lips, tongue, inside of your cheeks, on the roof or under your tongue)
- difficulty speaking clearly, chewing or swallowing
- loose teeth
- discomfort in your neck, throat or ears
- unexplained weight loss

Honey Grilled Shrimp
With the cold weather behind us you're probably ready to take a break from those heavy, hearty meals like stew and chili. It's time to get out the patio furniture and fire up the grill for your summer favorites.
This month we're keeping it light with honey grilled seafood. Feel free to get creative by picking up some fresh fruit or vegetables and making kabobs.
