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

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. For the Long Road Trip “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 and are sent to live with the terrible Count Olaf. 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. Fans of the Netflix series will love to hear the story

that started it all! Who knew such an unfortunate series could mean fun for the whole family? For Family Bonding “Half Magic” by Edward Eager, read by Words Take Wing A beloved family favorite since it was first published in 1954, “Half Magic” tells the story of siblings Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha, who discover a magic wish- granting coin. They 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 a one of the hilarious misadventures this family must overcome together. For Something Entirely New “The Wild Robot” by Peter Brown, read by Kate Atwater

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. This brand-new book is a stunning tale about the environment, technology, and the wonder of being alive.

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

SOME OPTIONS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS How Do I Whiten My Teeth?

Did you know there are whitening gels that can whiten your smile by as many as 10 shades in a single day? No, it’s not on the black market. We are talking FDA-approved gels that are accessible to professionals and completely safe to apply. In fact, there are several options for getting whiter teeth. The most common method of tooth- whitening involves over-the-counter products that you can get at Walmart. These products vary in quality and safety because they aren’t regulated too closely. We encourage you to seek the advice of a professional before using any of these products. The highest quality of whitening treatments are those administered directly by licensed professionals. A good dentist can recommend the best gel for maximum results. When we talk

about gels that can whiten your teeth by 10 shades, those are the ones we’re referring to. You shouldn’t need constant professional tooth-whitening treatments. But your teeth can be re-stained and discolored over time, even if you brush regularly and don’t smoke or drink coffee. To give your teeth that extra touch-up, a dentist can provide you with advanced whitening kits that you can use at home. At W Dental, our entire focus is on overall wellness. We don’t just want to alleviate the pain that comes with toothaches and sensitivity; we want to help you feel good! And to do this, we can help you feel better about that universal indicator of happiness: your smile. If you think we can help you with that, please don’t hesitate to ask!
