Children's Dental Health Awareness Month
This month is Childrens Dental Health Awareness Month. We have been having fun with the school children - is this really work?
Honaunau Elementry and Konawaena Elementry invited us to demonstrate how to take care of their teeth. West Hawaii Dental has a new team member named "Niho," sometimes is known as Mr. Toothy. Niho has been instramental in helping the children learn about brushing and flossing and general oral health.
We learned a new song too (the tune is like Row Row Row your boat):
"Brush Brush Brush your teeth - Brush them every day! Left, right, up, down, brush the plaque away!"
Very catchy tune - we find ourselves singing it throught the day...
On Februay 17th we had an open house and dental screening day. We were offering the public the opportunity to come in to our office and look around and have a dentist do a full dental screening. We are very happy with how many people are interested in taking care of their health, and in how we were able to guide them with dental education.
March will be another fun month with brand new ideas and events. Our patient rewards program will be drawing for a Sonic Care toothbrush system - value is about $120!! All you need to do is come to your scheduled appointment and fill out the card to put in the "fish bowl." We will be drawing a name at the end of the month. Good Luck to all of the entrants!
Also for March, we will be giving away Starbucks gift cards to the wonderful patients that refer another patient to our office! The gift cards will be mailed out when the new patient comes in for their first appointment. This is an easy way to get your morning coffee for free!
