CONSECUTIVE YEAR THE LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER READERS’ CHOICE AWARD Everyone at Beaumont Family Dentistry wants to thank the local residents of Lexington who have named our practice the Best Dental Office for the sixth year in a row! Every year, the Lexington Herald-Leader hosts a Readers’ Choice Award. The community is encouraged to vote on their favorite services that they’ve had the best experiences with. They have a number of choices, including shopping and entertainment, pet care, auto repair, real estate, and health and fitness. Earlier this year, between May 1–15, people nominated any business they wanted to. The top qualifiers from these nominations moved into a final voting period, which lasted from May 26 through June 9. The votes were tallied, and the award winners of each category were announced on Aug. 4. Our team is honored and humbled that, since 2014, the Lexington community has recognized, nominated, and voted Beaumont Family Dentistry the best dental practice. It means more to us than words can describe to receive such praise from the local residents here. Our team is dedicated to ensuring each of our patients is cared for and knows they will receive help when they come into any of our offices.
School is back in session, but your child may be bringing home more than just random facts. Germs and bacteria that spread the common cold and flu are most prevalent in schools, but while these illnesses are strong, prevention is simple. Teach your kids how to prevent the spread of bacteria this season with these helpful tips. BUT MOMMY DOESN’T COVER HER NOSE! Kids learn more by watching what you do rather than listening to what you tell them to do. Get in the habit of covering your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, and then wash your hands. Make hand sanitizer and facial tissues readily available in your home and be sure to wash your hands before every meal. In addition, stick to healthy habits when you do feel sick. Drink fluids, get plenty of rest, and seek medical attention when it’s warranted. If your children see you taking care of yourself, they will be more likely to do the same for themselves in the future. AHH ... AHH ... ACHOO! Hand washing and nose blowing are about as fun as … well, just that. It’s no wonder children don’t want to take time out of their busy play schedules to combat nasty germs. Instead of making these important steps a chore, make basic hygiene fun. Use fun songs to teach the proper way to cover a sneeze, or do a science experiment to teach your children about the germs that are spread through just one sneeze. (According to research, sneezes can travel anywhere from 19–26 feet at 100 miles per hour!) For crafty kids, let them decorate tissue boxes or hand sanitizer containers to give hygiene some flair. Soon enough, you’ll find them being smarter about their health. As kids pack into classrooms this fall, germs will fly faster than this past summer did. Prevent the spread of the common cold and flu by learning more tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention online at CDC.gov.
