Have a Healthy Resolve for 2020!

We care about you as patients and friends!Let's all lead healthy lives together in 2020!

1 Quit smoking/chewing tobacco! Half a million North Americans die annually from tobacco-related disease. Seek out a pro-gram-or a patch-that suits you. Just do it.

2 Brush after your last meal. Do that and your dental hygiene level more than doubles!

3 Use tools-not teeth! Put an end to cutting thread and pulling staples with incisors.Leave that to scissors and staple removers!

4 Get moving! Get off the couch and join the crowd. Check with your doctor—then hit the road, go square dancing, walk a few miles. Your heart, head and hips will thank you.

5 Stop "eating sticky." Foods like caramels or dried fruit can be tough on teeth especially if you wear braces! Try fresh apricots instead.

6 Spare those molars from ice-crushing duty. An ice cube's cold, hard surface can cause microscopic cracks in the enamel.

7 Make seat belts automatic—‘nuff said!

8 Get a mammogram...or a prostate exam if you're over 40.

9 Focus on priorities—what really matters.
