Summer is in full swing and if you have kids at home, they are more than likely rolling out of bed later than usual in the mornings. It's easy to give them a sugary bowl of cereal and get on with the day, but that's not doing them any good - for their oral health and overall health. Try including fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, and eggs as part of your kids' and your entire family's meal plan. It cuts down on artificial sugar and provides a good source of protein and other benefits. Any kind of sugary snack also causes tooth decay so make sure they brush their teeth before bed too.

Are you looking for exciting things to do this summer? If you love art, you will love the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair. If you're a foodie, there's always the annual Summerlicious. Click here for a list of events and festivals near you!

We hope you are enjoying your summer. In your fun-filled schedule, don't forget to book an appointment.
