`We are right in the middle of some pretty exciting things': Flynn by David Lea Oakville Beaver Staff 3 | Wednesday, May 21, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Oakville's provincial Liberal candidate Kevin Flynn, 59, says Ontario is on the upswing and he wants to stay in office to continue that trend. The Bronte resident, who has been Oakville's MPP since 2003, said he did not hesitate when the time came to decide whether he would run in the June 12 provincial election. "We are right in the middle of some pretty exciting things in the Province of Ontario. When you look at our economy, compared to other jurisdictions around the world, the way we have been able to come back in a way others just haven't been able to... Ontario is lightyears ahead in terms of employment. You see the construction activity that is taking place. You see the investments we want to make in people who have developmental disabilities," said Flynn. "There are just a host of issues bubbling along that I want to be a part of. I feel like we are in midstream. Ontario is just getting better and better and I want to be there to ensure it continues." Flynn called on residents to vote Liberal stating the divisive, `race-to-the-bottom' approach offered by Tim Hudak's Progressive Conservatives is something Ontario does not need. He slammed the New Democratic Party for "looking after their own political skins" and not standing up for Ontarians on minimum wage and other issues they previously championed. If re-elected, Flynn said he and his government would improve transportation in Oakville, the GTA and Ontario by spending $29 billion on transportation infrastructure over 10 years. Helping business succeed in Ontario and preparing students for the realities of today's workplace are two other areas in which Flynn said the government is continuing to invest.

My office offers a wide range of complete modern dental care in a state of the art facility. Dr. Stephen Phelan, DDS Before One area that is a focus of my practice is to help the many people suffering from advanced tooth wear and erosion. It seems this is a problem that is increasing but it can be treated if caught before it is too late. The main issue if you feel you suffer from any form of tooth wear is protection and prevention. If your tooth wear has been diagnosed at an early stage you can concentrate on preventing further tooth wear with diet modification, protective dental appliances and some limited dental bonding to restore the small areas of attrition or erosion. If tooth wear has progressed to the point that your protective enamel has been worn away and you have exposed your inner dentin you will likely need a more comprehensive solution. The pictures included are an example of a patient with severe attrition, erosion and bite collapse that I solved with a full mouth rehabilitation using porcelain restorations.
