Happy March Break!

Whether you have children or not, you probably know that March Break is just around the corner! March break is a great time to schedule an appointment for a cleaning or check-up. Are you looking for other activities to fill your time? Bring the kids to the ROM and travel back to the Viking era with their special family attraction for the break! The Ontario Science Centre, Art Gallery of Ontario, and Ripley's Aquarium are all great family activities for the break!

Bowl for Kids Sake Local Heroes Day!

Support Dr. Benedict and the "Striking Smiles" as we bowl alongside some other local super heroes to raise funds for a good cause!

Every dollar raised through Bowl for Kids Sake helps match kids with a mentor. Research shows that children who have been mentored have higher self esteem and are more likely to stay in school - empowering them to succeed, give back and realize their true potential.

Last year's event was a huge success, so we're looking forward to another great event.

The Importance of Smiling!

Easy Lamb Cake

If you feel great, a smile comes naturally. It's an outward sign of joy, amusement, or excitement. Obviously, it is not natural to smile when we're sad or upset; but it turns out that smiling might be the best thing to do when you're ready to shift into a brighter mood. And it's not just for you; each time you smile at a person, their brain coaxes them to return the favour. You are creating a reciprocal relationship that allows both of you to release 'feel good' chemicals in your brain (endorphins), activate the reward centres, increase attractiveness and the chances of living longer, healthier lives.
