Fall is just around the corner, and for many families that means a return to school and work. During this change of routine, don't forget to take a few moments in your busy day to relax and focus on your health. Studies have shown that stress and oral health are closely related, but remember that small lifestyle changes are easy to implement into your day. A healthy breakfast boosts performance by improving your concentration and overall health. Take some time to brush and floss before setting out on your day, and the results will assist you in maintaining a happy and healthy smile.
You still have time to take advantage of the outdoors with many events coming up. If you're in or around Toronto, check out Toronto International Buskerfest, Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Small World Music Festival, all the way to the end of the month with Oktoberfest on September 30th and October 1st, along with Nuit Blanche!

Tooth Decay in Preschoolers
Every year, about 19,000 Canadian preschoolers require day surgery to treat cavities and tooth decay.
Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, is a disease caused by germs and is easily spread in families. When a mother eats from the same spoon as her child, the bacteria from her mouth can cause the enamel of the baby's teeth to break down, leading to cavities and opening the door for other oral diseases.
Tooth decay in children can cause their teeth to grow in incorrectly, but poor oral hygiene can also affect them psychologically. Children with caries are prone to behavioral problems, have trouble keeping up in school, and experience sleep loss, affecting their overall well being.
