A SIMPLE WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR DAY! The Calendar of ‘Things to Look Forward To’
Many families have faced disappointment in one way or another. Since early last year, countless activities and events have been canceled, and people had to skip many family vacations and get- togethers. Though it is a new year, it’s still going to be a while before normal activities and events will be scheduled, meaning there might not be a whole lot to look forward to, which can be disheartening. So, why not change that and give yourself and your family something to look forward to? A great way to improve your day — or week, month, or even year — is to write down things you’re excited about. In an article on Lifehacker.com, one mom talked about how she improved the overall mood of her family by creating a calendar of things to look forward to every week. In a post on Facebook, she wrote, “I wanted something for me and my kids to look forward to each day, so I posted a list to my fridge of the days of the week and one fun thing each day. (Like Taco Tuesday, Takeout Thursday, Dance Party Friday, Movie & Popcorn Sunday.)” It’s an idea anyone can easily implement.

The important thing is that you write it down on a calendar so you can see it. When you or your family glance at the calendar and see what’s coming up, it elevates your mood and boosts your day. And the more things you’re looking forward to, the better!
Give it a try and get everyone in the family involved. When you need a little extra joy in your life, this is an incredibly simple way to achieve it!
Create themed days (like game night or park day) or create a schedule of fun things. Write down when the next show or movie
SHOW YOUR TEETH SOME LOVE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY
BRIGHTEN YOUR SMILE There is no better feeling than showing off a confident smile. One way to help brighten your smile is by doing some form of whitening. Our office offers a few different whitening options, such as take- home and in-office whitening. Once all restorative work is complete, any of our hygienists can answer any questions you may have about whitening. QUIT SMOKING Smoking is not only bad for your breath, but it also stains your teeth and is bad for your overall health. People who use tobacco are two times more likely to develop gum disease than someone who doesn’t. Tobacco use can also increase your chances of getting oral cancer. SCHEDULE REGULAR DENTAL VISITS Going to the dentist more regularly not only helps you form a good relationship with your doctor/hygienist, but it also helps keep your mouth at its best all year long. At routine visits, you can discuss any concerns you may be having, and this gives us a chance to offer advice about keeping your smile fresh. If you have not been in to see us in a while, call to schedule a dental checkup and cleaning so we can get you back on track!
Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and that means we’ll be spending our money on the best gifts, prettiest flowers, and the most delicious chocolates. How about this year we give our teeth a little TLC instead? Here are five easy
ways you can love your teeth this year.
FIX YOUR CAVITIES Cavities can be contagious! Cavity-causing bacteria can spread to another person by something as simple as sharing a fork or a drink. Brushing two times each day for two minutes and flossing every day will keep the bacteria at bay. Don’t be the nice person who shares their cavities this Valentine’s Day. Call our office to schedule any restorative work you may need done! AVOID BAD BREATH Bacteria is a big component of bad breath, so regular habits like brushing and flossing are especially important. About 90% of bad breath comes from the bacteria on our tongues, so cleaning your tongue is just as important as brushing and flossing. You can also keep your breath minty fresh by using over-the-counter antimicrobial mouthwashes or chewing sugarless gum.
