32 - The Best of Oakville, Saturday September 22, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com One of the best things about Oakville is... Healthy environment In Oakville, we all share an environment where clean air is not sacrificed for industrial quick profits, where green space remains, and a place where you are still safe to take your family for a walk. This is Oakville. The establishment of the Butterfly Park in Bronte continues this tradition of protecting and enhancing nature, rather then exploiting it. This preserve will protect our environment for generations to come, ensuring that year after year, our children and their children will be able to be just as proud of this town as we are today. Our environment is so special to each of us that no less than the Town of Oakville itself has given to the Community Foundation of Oakville the singular charge of raising and distributing funds for the purpose of ensuring that our world stays strong and beautiful. The CFO has already had amazing success with their expansion and preservation of Oakville's enchanting heritage trail system. Heritage Trails are a network of natural trails that literally link every point on our local compos, allowing us to walk freely from one end of the town to the other, and with every step be assured that the sights you see, and the smells you take in will be the same fresh, preserving ones that help to define just why life in Oakville is so often called "the good life." The CFO has also established the Donovon Bailey Park, and this year saw it seeded with new trees. Over the years these trees will continue to bloom and grow, and we will be able to reap the rewards of an environmental job well done. Events like World Day, and our town-wide participation in it also show our overwhelming commitment to preserving the things we love the most. But there is more to our environment then just nature. Our care about the world we live in is apparent in our long clean streets kept free of the refuse and debris that all too often plague the larger cities to our east and west. Why is Oakville so pristine, when so many others are not? Perhaps it is our dedication to leaving the world just a bit better then we found it, perhaps it is because that is how deeply we care. Whatever the reason, the next time you walk an Oakville trail, or stroll an Oakville street, be sure to take in the benefits of living in a town that cares about the things that matter.

Today's dental hygienists no longer solely clean patients' teeth. A contemporary hygienist is responsible for detecting oral cancer, examining cracked crowns, and promoting the benefits of cosmetic dentistry to the patient before the dentist ever looks in the mouth. Visiting your dental hygienist and dentist team, every six months or as scheduled, is vital in properly caring for teeth and gums. Regular professional visits are also important because gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal disease, is usually painless and patients may not be able to detect it on their own. Dental hygienists also educate patients about the hazards of tobacco and can offer smoking cessation programs. In addition to daily care and visiting a dentist-hygienist dental team, total oral health requires proper nutritional habits. Several foods that help build healthy teeth and gums include: · Dairy products provide calcium and vitamin D that strengthens teeth and bones · Breads and cereals supply B vitamins for growth and iron for healthy blood, a key contributor to healthy gum tissue. · Fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C and other important vitamins, which are essential to maintaining healthy gum tissue. · Meat, fish, poultry and beans provide magnesium and zinc that strengthen teeth and bones.
