Hunka, Hunka Burning FIRE!
The hygienist could tell that her patient was extremely uncomfortable.
In her opening questions, the hygienist asked the patient if she was experiencing
any pain. The hygienist didn’t expect to see tears well up in her patient’s
eyes. Apparently, the hot, searing pain in the woman’s mouth had been steadily
increasing since her last exam, and she felt absolutely miserable. Unfortunately,
she didn’t alert her dentist early on. She told her hygienist the feeling
was like scalding her mouth on hot tea.

Leaping into the Future
February may be a short month, but it is a busy month. Not only is it
Hot Breakfast Month and Potato Lover’s Month, it is also Children’s
Dental Health Month.
Children are our direct connection to the future. One day they will be
our teachers and truck drivers; they will be our healthcare providers
and our leaders. We owe it to ourselves, our future and our children to
provide them with the best health care that we can.

Recent innovations in over-the-counter (OTC) cosmetic dentistry products
can now give you a smile that is so bright that you need to warn people
to put on their sunglasses before you enter the room! Recently, the American
Dental Association (ADA) surveyed dentists and discovered that tooth whitening

shine like lighthouse beacons guiding ships through a dense fog.

A Potato May Be Just a Spud, But Whatta Food!
February is Potato Lover’s Month and also Hot Breakfast Month—a marriage made in heaven some would claim. A hot breakfast is an excellent way to start your day. A nourishing breakfast prepares your brain and body for school, work, play, or any number of activities on your daily schedule. You can concentrate better and be more productive when your stomach isn’t complaining to the world. But wait! you say, Aren’t potatoes fattening? No, they are not; it’s what you pile on top of that potato that adds to your love handles.

Slip Sliding AwayDon’t look now, but winter isn’t over; so don’t put away those gloves
and boots quite yet. Some states get cold weather and some doozie
snowstorms in February. There’s plenty of time to step out the front
door, slip and slide down the sidewalk and land ker-plop in the middle
of the driveway. Or perhaps you could fly like a magic carpet off a
snow mogul and land head first in a snow bank. Or for those of you who
are enjoying unseasonably warm weather this year, there’s nothing like
a jog in the park, stopping by the water fountain for a refreshing
slurp of cool water and bang your mouth on the fountain head. Ow, ow,
and YEOW!
