Spring is the worst season for allergies, according to the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds is the biggest trigger, causing allergic reactions when inhaled or contacting the eyes. To reduce exposure, keep windows and doors closed and wear wraparound sunglasses outdoors. If pollen affects you, ask our pharmacists about the best allergy medications to manage symptoms while avoiding side effects like drowsiness and confusion. With the right precautions and treatment, you can enjoy spring with fewer allergy disruptions. Visit us today for expert advice on effective allergy relief.

Q: My eyes are dry all the time but I’m worried about using eyedrops too much. Aren’t they addictive?

A: It might seem excessive, but lubrication is necessary for the health of the eyes, even if it means using eyedrops to help. To make an analogy, a car engine won’t run better if you decide to stop using motor oil. Better eyedrops are designed not only to lubricate but to enhance the quality of your tears. Make sure to ask about this at your next eye exam! At Mosaic, we will gladly help with concerns such as this.

April is Oral Health Month, the perfect reminder for parents to schedule a dental checkup for their kids—especially after Easter treats! Sugary chocolates and candies can increase the risk of cavities, making it essential to reinforce good oral hygiene. Encourage brushing twice daily, flossing, and drinking water to rinse away sugar. A post-Easter dental visit helps catch any early signs of tooth decay and keeps smiles healthy. Use this month to build strong habits for lifelong oral health. Book your child’s checkup today and keep their teeth shining bright!

20 dates – pitted; 1/2 c peanut butter; 3 tbsp peanuts; 1 1/4 c dark chocolate chips; 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Line a plate with parchment paper. With a small knife, make a lengthwise slit in each date, slicing about halfway down. Fill each date with peanut butter & sprinkle peanuts on top. Place dates in the freezer to firm up until completely solid- approximately one hour. Add chocolate chips into a double boiler over medium low heat, stirring as the chocolate melts. Add oil if desired to make the chocolate thinner. Drop the dates one by one into the melted chocolate, flipping to get it entirely coated. Let cool in fridge & enjoy!

Your child’s diet plays a key role in dental health. Cavity-causing bacteria thrive on sugary and carbohydrate-rich foods. Surprisingly, sugar isn’t the only concern—fermentable carbs like white bread and chips break down into sugar, fueling bacteria. The American Dental Association (ADA) warns against bedtime bottles, as sugary liquids pool around teeth, leading to decay. Time and frequency also matter; sticky foods like raisins cling to teeth, prolonging acid exposure. Frequent snacking or sipping juice increases cavity risk. Encouraging balanced meals, limiting sugary snacks, and maintaining good oral hygiene can help protect your child’s teeth from decay.
