TIP “Establish a relationship with a pediatric dentist for your child by age 1. Doing so allows us to counsel parents on how to prevent tooth decay. We'll talk about oral hygiene habits and brushing tech- niques as soon as the baby gets their first tooth, appropriate snacks, and more. Pediatric dentists are specially trained to work with children from age 1 to 18 as well as patients with special needs, so bringing them to see us early can get children off to the right start.” South Orange Dental Center Dr. Davia Strachan — 481 South Orange Avenue, South Orange 973-762-2660 — SouthOrangeDentalCenter.com The Maplewood Club Katie Wissel — 489 Ridgewood Road, Maplewood membership@maplewoodclub.com — MaplewoodClub.com TIP “Play tennis and you just may add years to your life, according to some recent research. What makes this compelling for racket sports is that tennis players seem to live longer than those who pursue soli- tary sports such as jogging, swimming and cycling. Perhaps it's the social nature of tennis that boosts life expectancy since it requires a partner – someone you can play and interact with. Whatever the rea- son, playing tennis is a healthy thing to do and joining a private club like The Maplewood Club has great social benefits.” TIP “Never the same – just like my shirt says. Don't get stuck in the same routine. That only leads to monotony. Change up your classes, instructor, level of exertion, even your playlist. Your body functions better when you don't overtrain the same muscles. Plus, you have room for recovery and are less prone to injury. One day you might try conditioning camp (it's different every day!), the next time cardio box- ing, and then TRX. We have so many options, you'll never get bored."
