January 15-21 is National Non-Smoking Week
If ending a relationship with tobacco is on your list of things to do in 2012, now is a great time to start. You can find helpful advice on how to quit and more about National Non-Smoking Week here.
Remember, in addition to your lungs and heart, tobacco use stains your teeth, damages your mouth's soft tissues and increases your chance of developing oral cancer. If quitting is proving more difficult than you anticipated, we may be able to help.
Until next month,
Dr. Jordan Benedict and Team |

Are You Still a Smoker?
The effects of smoking have been the focus of health campaigns for many years now. Campaigns often focus on the lung and heart problems linked to smoking.
Dr. Jordan Benedict would like to offer you oral health related reasons to turn your back on tobacco.
While the effects of tobacco use on your heart and lungs may be hidden from public view, the effects on your oral health are often as clear as the smile on your face.
You may view smoking as sociable and appealing. The actual impression you may offer to others may include:
- Stained Teeth
- Bad Breath
- Dry Mouth
- Leukoplakia (Irritated patches on the tongue and tissues inside your mouth)

Green Pear Smoothie
Being stuck in the dead of winter doesn't mean you can't enjoy a dose of fresh fruits and veggies. What better way is there to do it than with a delicious smoothie?
Smoothies are refreshing and energizing first thing in the morning - or any other time of day - and should be packed full of raw organic fruits, vegetables, and superfoods.
Drinking a smoothie is the easiest way to absorb a whole bunch of nutrients all at once. They are full of fibre and vitamins and, depending on what you put into it, you can also get your daily dose of protein, antioxidants, and healthy fats.
Smoothies are:
- time savers - they only take 5 to 10 minutes to make
- easy to absorb - liquids are easier to digest easing nutrient absorption
- all in one - you can get a whole lot of healthy nutrients, protein, carbohydrates and fats in a single smoothie
- fun - get creative with colourful ingredients and textures
- liquid energy - use superfood to give you a boost in the morning, afternoon, or evening
Click here for the recipe and some tips on how to make the perfect smoothie!
