Groundhogs, St. Valentines, George Washington and kid's teeth

February seems full of commemorative days, beginning with  groundhog Punxsutawney Phil sounding an alarm for an early spring or continued winter. Romantic Valentine's Day promises roses, chocolates and candlelit dinners. 

President's Day gives us a three day weekend, and reminds us of our great leaders George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. As dentists, we love the stories of President Washington's ivory teeth (read more about them here http://www.mountvernon.org/georgewashington/teeth). I don't know anything about Lincoln's teeth, but we never see him smile, do we?

There are a few health related days associated with February. World Cancer Day is February 4th. http://www.worldcancerday.org/.You may have noticed Facebook profile pictures changed to a purple hue to raise awareness for cancer. February 7 is National Wear Red Day to promote awareness about women's heart health.

The entire month of February is Children's Dental Health Month. We love children at Brosy Family Dentistry and do our best to encourage good habits of nutrition and oral care with our young patients. Our dental assistants and hygienists spend time outside office hours, visiting elementary schools with our traveling Tooth Doctor Science Laboratory. We donate our professional services to Nevada Check-Up, which helps provide much needed dental care to needy youngsters.
Have a wonderful February!
