Family Activities Just because the kitchen might be off limits to your kids this Thanksgiving, doesn’t mean you can’t find a few creative ways to make the holiday extra special with fun activities. Coloring-Book Tablecloths Many of us are familiar with the kids’ table. It may be smaller than the grown-ups’ seating arrangement, but it doesn’t have to be any less special. Turn your kids’ table into a canvas for a colorful, creative dining experience. To do this, use craft paper to cover the table. Tape everything down tightly and provide crayons for every place setting. If you want to add some extra holiday spirit, put the drawing supplies in empty cranberry sauce and pumpkin cans.
FOR THANKSGIVING
Stuff the Turkey Game Want to get the kids outside so you can get to
work in the kitchen? Create a Thanksgiving-themed game for them to play outside while you prep the stuffing and put the turkey in the oven.
To play “Stuff the Turkey”, all you need is a few paper bags. Use two small bags stuffed with scrap paper to create legs and glue them to a larger bag folded to look like the body of a turkey. Now get ready to stuff. Anything soft and baseball-sized will work, even some balled-up paper. Kids will take turns trying to toss the balls into the turkey, scoring points for every shot made.

Opalescence Whitening for the Win
We stock Opalescence brand whitening solutions here in the office, including their toothpaste. Whitening toothpaste is a great way to maintain your white teeth! But if you aren’t comfortable whitening at home, or if you want to see results faster than you can achieve at home, we can also set you up with whitening treatment in the office. It takes two 20-minute sessions, and the effects last for a long time (especially if you maintain the whitening with toothpaste). We use the same Opalescence products that we recommend to our patients, and it’s safer than the lights that other dentists use because it doesn’t heat or damage the teeth. It’s faster than whitening at home, and it’s very affordable compared to other options that might not work as well. Normally, this whitening would cost $199. But bring in this newsletter, and you can get it for just $99 ! That’s right, if you bring in this newsletter or mention it when you book your appointment, we’ll give you in-office whitening for just $99! –Kalie and Caryn
When people think about whitening, they often think of the off-the-shelf products you can find at a drugstore or supermarket and use at home. And while at-home whitening is something we support here at Elkins Dental, we also want to make sure you’re using the right whitening products to keep your teeth healthy and bright. You might have heard bad stories about teeth whitening, and it’s true that there are risks if you go with the wrong brand. Our favorite brand? Opalescence. Opalescence products are designed to work with custom whitening trays, which we can take measurements for here in the office in about five minutes. Unlike other whitening brands, which can damage your teeth or make them more sensitive, Opalescence products have fluoride as well as an antiseptic agent. This means they actually remineralize your teeth, making them stronger than ever.
