Pizza Day in February 2019
February 9, 2019
National Pizza Day!
Our Deepest Fear – is not that We are in
Adequate.
Our
deepest fear – is that We are Powerful Beyond Measure
We
ask ourselves – who am I to be Brilliant – Gorgeous – Talent and Fabulous?
Actually
who are You not to be!
It
is our light – not our Darkness that most frighten us.
You
playing small does not serve the world.
There
is nothing enlighten about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure
around you.
We
were all meant to shine as children do.
We
were born to make manifest the glory of G-d that is within us.
It’s
not just in some of us; but in every one.
And
as we let our own light shine – We unconsciously give other people, permission
to do the same.
As
we are liberated from our fear - Our presence automatically liberates others.
Note: Nelson Mandala did NOT use this amazing
and thought-provoking piece in his 1994 Inaugural Address. Although, he has
written wonderful material as such.
However,
this was written by Marianne Williamson,
from the 1992 book 'A Return To Love.'
We love you both!
Black History Month
2019
February
is
Children’s
Dental Health Month
Parents and Guardians:
Infants
and Children
Caring for infant’s gums and children’s teeth should
start early. Our motto: it contributes to- “Healthy Teeth – Healthy You!”
In
the US and Canada Dental Hygienists – suggest these simple
tips on caring for your child’s teeth to reduce the risk of oral infection and
Early Childhood Caries/cavities [ECC].
With the arrival of the new teeth
coming in children’s diet changes to eating more like an adult, and bacteria
continue to produce acids and toxins that are harmful to hard and soft tissues
in the mouth.
• Keep your own teeth and
gums as healthy as possible to minimize transmission of strep
bacteria.
• Develop a routine for cleaning
your baby’s mouth. Wipe their mouth and gums using a clean, wet cloth
or piece of gauze after each feeding.
• Gently clean newly erupted
teeth with gauze or a washcloth, or with a small soft toothbrush (no toothpaste)
specially designed for baby teeth.
• Keep non-nutritious,
sugary fruit punches and other drinks out of baby bottles.
• If you do use a bottle or
sip cup at naptime during the day or at bedtime, avoid juices, milk or formula,
as all of these contain some amount of sugar. Use plain water instead.
• Reduce the frequency of
nighttime feedings. Frequent feeding at night, when saliva flow is at
its lowest, increases the risk of ECC. The pooling of any liquid (except water)
around teeth at night also increases the risk.
• If your baby uses a
soother, check its packaging and shape to ensure it has an orthodontic design,
which will help prevent teeth from moving. The best ones are nipple-shaped,
keep baby’s lips closed and encourage natural breathing through the nose.
• Never dip soothers in
anything sweet; honey is one of the worst offenders.
• If your baby is on liquid
medication (usually sweetened for taste), rinse and brush their mouth with
clear water immediately after the medication is given.
• Check for early warning
signs of ECC by lifting up baby’s lips. White, chalky teeth signal a
mild case; brown or black-stained teeth and erosion indicate a more serious
case. Contact your dental hygienist immediately.
Note:
Early Childhood Caries (ECC),
formerly known as nursing bottle caries, baby bottle tooth decay,…
• Gradually introduce foods
such as fresh fruits and vegetables to the diet. These foods, which
require hard or long chewing, cause saliva to flow, which removes the acid and
returns cavity-protecting calcium to the teeth.
