Any dental tips for my children going back to school? 905-827-0301 Ask Your Expert! Q A : During the interview process, it is suggested that you "brag" about your experience and skills, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Is it proper job search etiquette? : Most of us have real difficulty telling other people about how good we are. We consider it bad form, impolite and evidence of a conceited and self-absorbed personality. That may be true in other situations, but the interview is an exception. Here your success lies in your ability to communicate your strengths and the belief that you are probably a better candidate than the others, while not sounding stricken with delusions of grandeur. Find the right way to express your strengths in a positive and forthright manner. Done well, it demonstrates confidence, not conceit. You want to help the employer share in your enthusiasm!

You can think of it as an insurance soil and other contaminants like salt. embedded policy that you WILL use. A healthy balanced diet is very important for growing kids. While it is important to have a good mix of fruits, vegetables, milk, cereals and breads in their lunches, some of the ones you may choose can contain sugars and starches that feed the bacteria in their mouths. They produce the acids that attack the tooth enamel causing cavities. Since kids don't generally brush their teeth at school there is greater potential for decay to start as the acid attack can last upwards to twenty minutes. Sticky foods like raisins and granola bars can stick to teeth longer and are difficult for saliva to wash away. Raw vegetables and cheeses make better snacks. Check labels on prepared foods too, you'll be surprised how much sugar is added to some foods. Another important consideration for back to school is your children's extracurricular activities. Sports like football can result in injuries that could be minimized or prevented by a dental sport mouthguard. Of course it is also important to have a back to school check up. A painful tooth or chronic dental problem can lead to difficulty eating, speaking and concentrating. Children who do not tell parents about tooth problems may seem anxious, depressed or tired and these may not be recognized as dental problems by a teacher. I hope everyone's school year gets off to a good start! Call Us, You'll Be Amazed!

A: You have thought about finishing your basement for years. Now it's finally started and you are committed. What to do with the flooring? If you are thinking home theater, use thick rich carpets, they add to the sound quality of the room, as well as comfort, or maybe your rec. room will be mutli-functional i.e. pool table, games room or general entertainment. Think about multi-mediums. Rubber tiles under the pool table with carpeted boarders for room separation, patterned carpets hide day-to-day use as well as adding vibrancy and excitement to the room. Today's consumer can take advantage of the limitless possibilities of flooring styles. We are here to kick start your imagination. have noticed Q: Iand around mydark pigment across my forehead mouth. Is there anything that can correct this type of skin condition? Q: A: How do I get better gas mileage? A: The skin condition that you are describing is a common skin ailment in women called melasma or otherwise known as a `pregnancy mask'. This condition is commonly caused by hormonal influxes in the body and often presented as a distinct pattern of pigment across the forehead, cheeks or around the mouth, and can be aggravated by sun exposure. When treating melasma we find skin treatment systems, such as SkinTx, very helpful. SkinTx is a daily skin care program that uses prescription strength active ingredients to effectively correct any irregularities in the skin. Where traditional skin care programs fail to create any improvement in the skin, SkinTx patients will begin to see correction in as little as 4 weeks. This skin care line is only available through a doctor's office, which offers the added benefits of patient monitoring and follow-ups. In addition, SkinTx helps improved skin texture, reduce fine lines as well as acne and acne scarring. Please phone or email us to set up a complimentary consultation. Dr. Channy Y. Muhn, MD, FRCPC Dermatologist/Dermatologic Surgeon What you can do: Common sense tells you that the easier you are on your vehicle, the better it will perform. No jackrabbit starts, no prolonged idling, maintain a steady speed, slow down gradually, don't be an air conditioner hog, lose the roof rack, keep trunk cargo to a minimum and combine errands into one all inclusive trip. These are some simple ways that allow you to bypass the gas station more often. What Oakville Honda can do: Visit us for regular maintenance like oil/filter changes, tire pressure checks and rotation, tune up before a long trip etc. Indeed, under-inflated tires alone will increase your fuel usage up to 2%. These small investments in your vehicle's health = more `moula' in your pocket. In addition, consider the purchase or lease of a fuel-friendly vehicle.
