Nagy Family Dental - August 2019

Every year, as students prepare to head back to school, they gather their backpacks, pencils, notebooks, and other supplies. For some students, this time of year weighs more heavily on them than on others. As their families struggle to equip their young learners with the long list of school supplies that are often asked of them, they could really use some extra support. Every year, we help local back-to-school drive efforts and support our local school. Last year, we sponsored an essay contest at a local grade school. The students had the opportunity to go to Washington, D.C., through their school, so we sponsored the contest to help them raise the money for the trip. The top essay won a $500 scholarship plus spending money, and the runner-up received prizes, as well. It was fun because we got to feel like we were part of the excitement the students felt for the contest and their trip. It was a joy to read students’ essays and learn about what was important to them. We don’t want to just send a check; we want to be part of fostering learning for our future generations. It also helps us stay connected and in touch with our community and people’s needs. In that spirit, we frequently partner with Love INC and other local organizations. Love INC serves as a connection between resources in the community and people who are in need. It’s very rewarding to play a small part in what they do. Want to lend a hand to our community this back-to-school season? There are so many great ways to give back. At Nagy Family Dental Group, we’ll be collecting school items through Aug. 20. If your kids have outgrown their school supplies or have leftovers from previous years, please bring them by the office! Every bit helps. By sharing the things we’ve been blessed with, we can ensure our community and its students have what they need to thrive. That’s why Nagy Family Dental Group pitches in to lend a hand.

You’re Brushing With What?

15 Crazy Flavors of Toothpaste and Floss While mint is unquestionably the nation’s favorite flavor of toothpaste and floss, every once in a while, you’ll come across someone who dislikes the taste. How do they deal with dental hygiene? A few big-name brands offer cinnamon options or even mysteriously dubbed “original” or “regular” flavors. But why stop there? Here are some of the more unique flavors available to delight kids and adults alike. DENTAL DESSERT Brushing your teeth is usually what you do after having dessert. But with flavors like cupcake, chocolate chip, vanilla bean, licorice, Coca-Cola with lemon, and vanilla chai, your morning and nighttime routines just got a bit sweeter. Most of these kid-friendly flavors are available on Amazon, so feel free to indulge your sweet tooth without worrying about cavities. FRUIT OF THE TUBE Everyone loves fruit. At least, that’s what the makers of these toothpastes and flosses are counting on. The California-based company Cocofloss, founded by two sisters, specializes in fruit flavors with tasty options like fresh coconut, summer watermelon, pure strawberry, cara cara orange, and passion fruit. In the world of toothpaste, Schmidt’s, a plant-based company, is a standout with a coconut lime flavor guaranteed to make your toothbrush taste tropical. SUSPICIOUSLY SAVORY Considering the sizzle bacon has had in recent pop culture, it’s no surprise that it invaded the bathroom counter. If you’re bacon obsessed, Perpetual Kid has just the product for you. See for yourself with its description: “Brushing your teeth with a strip of fried bacon is tricky. If it’s too crisp, it will break apart as you brush, and if it’s too limp, you won’t be able to remove any of the plaque. So, when it’s time to brush your teeth, leave the bacon strips for breakfast and try this bacon toothpaste.” Pair it with some bacon-flavored floss from quirky company Archie McPhee for the full breakfast experience, and if that isn’t wacky enough, roll the dice with floss that tastes like pickles or ranch dressing.
