Happy (early) Nevada Day!
While the last minute touches on costumes are being done, the candy ready at the door, and apple cider mulling it gives one time to reflect on why Nevada celebrates this wonderful day. The candy and day off of work or school is an added plus, but the importance of why Nevada became a state in 1864 is the real reason for celebration. The Nevada Art Museum's exhibit on Nevada's road to statehood highlights the battleborn triumph and worth the trip downtown. Both Nevada's constitution and the emancipation proclamation are available for viewing this weekend!

Having fun with our dental family
We are very fortunate to have excellent team members at our second home, Brosy Family Dentistry. Most of these folks have been with us many years, and they truly are our extended family. We enjoy getting together outside of the office walls. Dr. Anderson hosted our latest gathering. Here are a few photos.

Halloween Candy Buy Back
As a dentist, I have a love/hate relationship with candy. Personally, I'm inclined to think of chocolate as an important food group and could easily dine on Reese's peanut butter cups and a glass of red wine. I also brush my teeth very well after this indulgence, something my lollipop and gummy bear eating young patients don't always do so well.
Is Halloween candy fun? You bet. But does anyone really need ten pounds (or even 1 or 2 pounds) of sugar? It's not good for our overall health and weight, and certainly can cause painful cavities, which is why I'm a big fan of the Halloween Candy Buy Back program, promoted by Operation Gratitude. This will be the third year our office as participated in the buy back. The idea is simple- the week after Halloween, we encourage children (and their parents!) to bring in some of their extra confections. We give the kids a dollar a pound for their donations. The candy is packed up and sent to Operation Gratitude in southern California. They in turn send the candy to our overseas military troops.
We're partnering with Pitts orthodontics and are especially grateful to ITS Logistics Reno who have kindly shipped the hundreds of pounds of candy our offices gather.
