When you were a child do you remember being afraid of going to the dentist or were you one of the brave and happy kids that had no aversion to visiting a dental office? I remember quite well being terrified of visiting the dentist. I think it had something to do with all of the dental tools, the 'big' chair and the guy in the mask, lol, I mean the dentist. Many children and adults have convinced themselves that a dental office is a place to fear. Sometimes the adults actually pass this fear on to their children. Kids tend to get anxious and nervous about going to the dentist probably because they don't really know what to expect and it just seems scary to them.
We are all well aware that consistent dental visits at least once a year but preferably twice is what most dentists recommend. There are many ways that dentists can help ease a child's anxiety over their visits.
First off creating a playful, relaxed atmosphere and mood in the office can go a long way. Rooms with bright walls and colorful posters can help a child feel calm. A pediatric dental office is specially designed to make children feel welcome but if you can find a regular dentist that you feel is the right fit for your kids then that is perfectly fine.
Offering each child a small toy, dental stickers along with a toothbrush and toothpaste at the end of the visit can help make the child feel special and promote good feelings for the next time they return.
I love designing products for dental offices. Whimsical and unique designs to make an office a calm and relaxing place for people.

Well today March 7th, is known as National Cereal Day. Did you know this? Cereal has become one of the most popular breakfast foods in America. Not only do people consume cereal for their morning meal but often as a quick dinner option and readily as a bedtime snack. It is loved equally by children and adults.
Cold cereals are the most popular. The choices and varieties are endless from sugary sweet types to healthier flakes and grains. It can also be made into breakfast bars and used in recipes for squares and cookies too. Example: Rice Krispie Squares
In 1863 the first cold cereal called Granula was invented by James Caleb Jackson. Cereals now are enriched with vitamins and minerals. Many contain iron, thiamine, niacin and riboflavin and a high fiber content. Protein is there when milk is added.
Cereal is known as a staple crop and provides more food energy than any other type of crop. All cereals fall into the category of cereals or grains. These include rice, brown rice, barley, wheat, millet, oats, maize, sorghum, rye and buckwheat to name several.
Support this day by having a healthy bowl of cereal!
