Thank you all for the overwhelmingly positive comments that were provided. We are continuously striving to provide our patients with the highest quality of care in the field of dentistry. We were touched to see how many people value the services we provide and appreciate our hard work.

Of course we appreciate you as well! That’s why in addition to the Ipad, we decided to draw two free whitenings as an additional thank you. Congratulations to Wendy S., our Ipad winner and Simon W. and Ana R. for winning the whitenings. We are always looking for ways to improve our services so your comments and feedback are welcome at any time. This brings us to our pledge for 2011.

For many years now scientists have linked the beneficial positive effects of moderate amounts of red wine consumption with prevention of heart disease and cancer. But now they have also discovered that drinking the fruit of the vine could help with the prevention of gum disease!

The heroes here are compounds called polyphenols (found in grape seeds and red wine) which appear to have very strong anti-inflammatory properties. By reducing inflammation, it is theorized that polyphenols may limit the amount of inflammation in the gum tissue, helping to prevent the common disease known as gingivitis.
