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!

substance with which to adhere to the tooth. These bacteria can eventually turn into plaque – a sticky, colourless film of bacteria proliferating on our
teeth.
Tooth decay can be minimized by a healthy diet that involves cutting down on sugary foods. But did you know there's something you can add to your healthy
eating habits that can actually help prevent tooth decay?
