YOUR FEET WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Here are five tips for buying your next pair of running or walking shoes:
1. Right shoes for your gait!
Pronate? Supinate? Neutral striker? High arch? Low arch? No arch? Don’t know what those mean? Come to a professional to receive awesome advice on your mechanics! This is critical when purchasing your shoes.
2. Get a proper size fitting!
Size matters! Running shoes should always have a little more space than your dress shoes. They should be snug but never tight!
3. Right tread for the right terrain!
Shoes should be sticky and grippy for the trail, soft and spongy for the road and fast and flat for the track.
4. Right amount of shoe!
5K? 10K? Half or full marathon? Dog-walking? Trips around the block? You’ll want the right amount of shoe for the distance and training you’re doing.
5. Take a look at your old shoes!
They may indicate you were getting too much, not enough or just the right amount of support.

WORD OF MOUTH
April is Oral Cancer Awareness month. At Sarah Winter Dental, this is a very big deal. Oral cancer is on the rise, and the statistics are alarming. It is a cancer with a low survival rate, and someone dies from it every hour in the US. Unfortunately, its low survival rate is due to late detection. It’s difficult to see the back areas of the tongue and throat, and cancer often doesn’t hurt until it’s advanced. Dr. Winter wants to make sure everyone who comes to her office is cancer-free and properly screened. That’s why her office uses fluorescence technology, a specialized light that helps her to identify oral cancer, pre-cancer, and other abnormal lesions at an earlier stage, allowing for earlier detection and treatment. During the months of April–June, Sarah Winter Dental is offering free oral cancer screenings. Please call their office to schedule your complimentary screening today.
