JUNE 2017

Come Celebrate the Grand Opening of Our New Building!

New office

Inside new office

The big scoop this month has been a long time coming: We’re hosting a grand opening party on Saturday, June 10 to celebrate the completion of our new building! These months of construction have been something of an ordeal, and we’re grateful to everyone who’s suffered through it with us. Now that everything is done, we are thrilled to invite our patients, their friends and family, and basically all of Malone to come out and party with us! The celebration starts at noon with the ribbon cutting ceremony. If you can’t make it for the ribbon cutting, don’t worry! There will be fun activities all afternoon until 3 p.m., including free balloons, a bouncy house for the kids, free hot dogs for everyone, and tours through the new building, where we will be displaying

Plus, what’s a party without music? Throughout the afternoon, we’ll have live music from The Lou Dacques Band, a folk and blues group from right here in Malone. They will be providing great music while everyone enjoys the festivities. As the weather can be unpredictable this time of year, we will also have tents up to keep us dry in case of rain and provide some extra shade if it gets too hot. I know I’m not the only one who’s glad that the construction’s finally wrapping up, which is why we’ve turned the building grand opening into a big party to celebrate with everyone who's been so patient and supportive. I look forward to seeing everybody on June 10, rain or shine. It’s going to be a great time!

AUDIOBOOKS INSPIRE A LOVE OF STORIES IN ALL AGES Summer Reading for Busy Families

Summer reading lists are always popular, but most families rarely have time to have dinner together, let alone sit still reading for hours. Luckily, the ever-growing popularity of audiobooks means you don’t have to wait for school to start again for your kids to get back into literature. Here are a few great audiobooks you can introduce to your family this summer. “The Bad Beginning” (A Series of Unfortunate Events) by Lemony Snicket, read by Tim Curry When a terrible fire destroys the Baudelaire mansion, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find themselves orphans. Convinced their awful new guardian is only after their fortune, the Baudelaires must use their intelligence and skills to stick together and (maybe) overcome their sad circumstances. For the Long Road Trip

soon realize the coin only grants half of what they wish for, and an unplanned vacation to the Sahara, followed by chaos in King Arthur’s court, is just one of the hilarious misadventures this family must overcome together.

For Something Entirely New

“The Wild Robot” by Peter Brown, read by Kate Atwater

When lonely robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she finds she’s trapped on a wild island. Struggling to survive and befriend the island’s hostile animal inhabitants, Roz must eventually face her mysterious past, which threatens to tear her home apart.

These are just a few of the many titles your family can enjoy this summer. Find even more

ARE VENEERS RIGHT FOR YOU?

In the recent years, dental veneers — the thin, custom-made porcelain shells used to cover the front surfaces of teeth — have become a popular dental procedure for people of all ages. When done correctly, veneers can quickly correct chipped, rotated, or discolored teeth. Veneers can be placed in only two visits to our office! Also, it’s easy to change the color of veneers, since porcelain has the real look of teeth and will not stain. Veneers add to the strength of your natural teeth by capping and protecting them. Also, veneers can be customized to fit your facial symmetry and style. Why would I get veneers? Veneers are low maintenance. However, porcelain veneers should be brushed and flossed the same way you treat your natural teeth. It’s also important to remember to visit us for professional

polishing procedures with a special, non- abrasive paste.

I don’t know if veneers would fit my lifestyle.

If you want veneers, there are certain precautions you can take in order to preserve the integrity of the procedure. Those who suffer from teeth grinding can purchase special night guards that help prevent veneers from damage. It is also recommended that you wear a mouth guard when playing sports, as the veneers can break off like any natural teeth.

Remember ...

But the most important thing to remember about veneers is that the procedure is permanent. Most times, natural teeth need to be shaved in order for a dentist to place veneers; therefore they are irreversible. Talk to us if you think veneers are for you!

Alas, a stable bite may make or break — literally — a successful veneer case. When you talk to us about veneers, we'll evaluate your bite before deciding if they are a viable option for you.

How to Journal if You Don’t Like Journaling DEAR DIARY ...

Journaling is both a chance to organize your thoughts and an opportunity for therapeutic release, but traditional journaling isn’t for everyone. If you hit a wall every time you try to put pen to paper or worry you’ll have to burn your journal when you’re done, there are other ways you too can enjoy the benefits of journaling.

something you heard waiting in line at the coffee shop, or some of the “darndest things” your kids say.

Go Digital

Apps like Day One for iOS or Journey for Android are perfect for recording your thoughts quickly. Journaling apps are as easy as scrolling down social media, but can be locked for your eyes only. Integrate written segments with photos to create entries you can reflect on from your phone, tablet, or computer. There are as many reasons to journal as there are options for alternative journaling. Whatever you decide, just make sure it’s something you’ll enjoy doing every day. Happy journaling!

Write Letters to Your Kids

Framing journal entries as letters to children can help provide a starting point for you. Many parents journal like this with the intent of letting their kids one day read the letters, but that doesn’t have to be your end goal. Nor do you have to write to your kids. You can address your letters to your spouse, a close friend, your mother, or even a loved one who’s passed away.

Record Quotes

Quotes are special because they capture a profound feeling in just a few words. By recording some of your favorite quotes, you’re able to capture those feelings and reflect on why they resonate with you. Include quotes from historical figures, books, song lyrics,

What to Do With All This Sunlight? HOW TO CELEBRATE THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR

We call the summer solstice the “longest day of the year,” and though there aren’t really more hours in the day, extended hours of sunlight do make June 21 feel longer. So, why not do something with that extra light? We can’t all make a pilgrimage to Stonehenge to watch the sunrise, but there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the summer solstice wherever you live.

Try Outdoor Yoga

Yoga is a popular activity for exercise and stress relief, practiced by millions across the world. The International Day of Yoga is held on June 21 each year. Expert and beginner yoga enthusiasts alike celebrate by taking their yoga mats outside. Find ways to get involved by visiting idayofyoga.org.

Shakespeare in the Park

The week surrounding the summer solstice is often referred to as midsummer. William Shakespeare's beloved comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” takes its name from this, so what better way to mark the occasion than with some of the Bard’s classic works? Theater groups all across the country put on outdoor performances, and it’s a wonderful chance for the community to come out and enjoy some of literature’s greatest stories.

Catch Some Waves

The summer solstice also happens to fall right after International Surfing Day, so why not enjoy the extra hours of sun by road tripping out to the beach to catch some waves? The official International Surfing Day website, surfrider.org/isd, has lots of information and lists great ways to celebrate. You might even be surprised to find awesome events near you!

There are numerous celebrations surrounding the summer solstice. So why waste a sunny day? Get out there and have some fun!
