Dr. Eric Dawtrey, DC Great question! A major problem for dentists throughout the ages has been how to replace missing teeth so that people could chew and smile as if no teeth had ever been lost. Dentures wobble and fall out. Replacing just a few missing teeth use to always mean grinding down the adjacent, possibly healthy teeth to anchor artificial ones. Today, we are closer than ever, to the "holy grail" of replacing a lost tooth with another by using dental implants. These are artificial roots of titanium that are placed into the bone, and it works! Jaw bone loves titanium and grows tightly against it. Teeth can be added atop the implants, replaced missing teeth, without touching nearby healthy teeth. If all teeth are lost, implants can be used economically with dentures. They can be anchored by as few as two implants so that they stay in place. Adding a few more can allow dentures to be made that allow you to bite down as hard as with natural teeth. And what a change this has made in many peoples lives! Dentistry today can help people in ways that we could only dream of just a few years ago, and we want everyone to know about it. Great things start with a warm healthy smile! thedentist@dentistry4.com www.dentistry4.com Giselle Praulins Wee Watch, Mississauga & Oakvile Mississauga Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Clinic 247 Queensway W., Mississauga www.mississaugacosmeticsurgery.com e-mail: drweinberg@mcsconline.com OAKVILLE NORTHWEST 1500 Upper Middle Rd.W. & 3rd Line (Sobey's Plaza) 905-469-4532 OAKVILLE EAST 380 Dundas St. E., Trafalgar Rd.

Intense pulse light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that erases skin damage without disruption to your skin. This non-surgical procedure can minimize fine wrinkles and treat a wide range of skin concerns including sun damage, Rosacea and broken capillaries safely and effectively. It is recommended that the rejuvenation program consist of 3 to 6 treatments over a period of 9 to 12 weeks. A personal consultation would determine your skin type and treatment. The reason 98% of the population is taking some form of supplementation whether it be vitamin, mineral or herbal, is because we are not getting the proper quantity or quality of nutrients from our current diet. Our soil has been stripped of essential vitamins and minerals, even the best of diets can be lacking in key ingredients. Supplementation will help to combat the negative effects of the factors that we can't always control like soil quality, genetic factors, air quality and pollution, as well as some we can control: stress and a busy lifestyle which can lead to poor nutrition and the consumption of fast foods. Herbal Magic's goal is to bring the body back into balance by teaching healthy lifestyles through diet, nutrition and proper supplementation. Our products are registered with the Natural Health Products Director (N.H.P.D.), a division of Health Canada, to ensure our clients are purchasing the highest quality supplements.
