Not only do Dr.Dallmann and hercaring team know

how to make the mostfearful patients comfort-able, they also realize thattheir young patientsdeserve the royal treat-ment.

Dr. Dallmann has 5-year-old twins and sheknows that when it comesto dental visits, you haveto make it fun, fast, and asthorough as possible.

Wendy, the dentalhygienist at Gentle DentalCare has two little boys. Inmost cases you can walkby the hygiene room andhear giggles and chatter,some from the childrenand some from Wendy.

The kids just love her!For the littlest patients,Wendy puts them in thechair, gives them a ride,lets them play with thesuction straw, and letsthem feel the polishing

disk. Then she proceeds tocount and clean their teeth.

Dr. Dallmann and theteam care for many fearfuladult patients whose fearstems from a bad child-hood dental experience.

Therefore, they’re espe-cially careful to give chil-dren a fantastic experience.

Dr. Dallmann believesin being proactive when it

comes to children’s teeth.This is the very reason sheuses the Diagnodent in heroffice.

This is a cavity-detect-ing laser that can detectcavities even before an X-ray can.

If a cavity can be detect-ed early enough, in mostcases it can be filled with-out anesthesia, eliminating

the dreaded “shot” alto-gether.

To be preventive,Gentle Dental Care alsohas a very strong sealantprogram. These clear cov-erings can be placed toprevent future cavities.Sealants are an inexpen-sive way to keep kids cavi-ty-free.

If a child should have

fillings, all measures aretaken to make sure eachand every visit is comfort-able and stress free. Dr.Dallmann uses the Wandto administer anesthesia.

The Wand is a pen-likecomputerized instrumentthat delivers anesthesia tothe area with little or nodiscomfort.

The staff heats neck pil-lows, and offers laughinggas to ease the nerves oftheir precious little ones.

Most parents are busygetting back-to-school sup-plies, new clothes, andshoes.

Make sure you don’tneglect the most importantthings kids need – greathealth. Healthy teeth andgums make for a healthychild.

Schedule an appoint-ment for your childrentoday! They too can”Experience theDifference.”

Get balancedHunger is a growing problem globally and the United States is not immune.

Nearly 12 million American children have limited access to the nutritiousfoods they need to learn and live active, healthy lives.

Hunger impairs children’s health in significant and long-lasting ways by imped-ing growth and development, contributing to poorer mental health and playing apart in a child’s greater susceptibility to obesity.

On the other hand, the World Health Organization has reported that there are 1.6billion overweight people in the world.

The rise in both obesity and those without enough resources for nutritious mealsis creating plenty of areas of need. Here are some ways you can make a healthyinvestment in yourself and neighbors in need.

Volunteer There are resources available to help locate volunteer opportunities all over the

country – such as with Operation Frontline; a program from Share Our Strengththat connects families with food by teaching them how to prepare healthy, tastymeals on a budget. You can find a volunteer opportunity near you by visitingwww.strength.org.

Make a donationThere are many great programs focused on long-term strategies to end child-

hood hunger – the difference between feeding a family tonight and helping toensure that a family never again has to worry about where the next meal will comefrom. You may not think a dollar goes far, but by investing in the right organiza-tion, it can go further than you might imagine. For example, as little as $35 can helpfeed a child three meals a day for more than a month, according to Share ourStrength. For less then the cost of a nice meal out, you can help a child forget abouthis hunger, and focus on just being a kid.

Two key points toremember:

Sports guards protect aplayer’s lips, cheeks,teeth, jaws and gums byproviding a shock absorb-ing material that redistrib-utes the forces generatedby traumatic blows.

Injury is twice as likelyto occur in basketball andsoccer than football andhockey because they havenot mandated the use ofprotective mouth gear.

Tutoring is not justfor students in trou-ble. It’s for students

who want to avoid prob-lems, improve skills,review classwork, andlearn more with lessstress.

At SMARTER LearningSystems,tutoring is“academiccoaching”that moti-vates thestudent togive his orher bestefforts and develophealthy self-esteem.

Northern Kentuckynative Stefanie Parker, aprofessional educationalconsultant with more than38 years of experienceteaching students, of allages, opened SMARTERLearning Systems in 1990.

SMARTER LearningSystems maintains a phi-losophy that all studentshave the ability to learn.

dinate stress, unrealisticpressure or low self-esteem.

tuition rates for largergroups.

As children headback to school,parents face anoth-

er season of fighting coldand flu germs. In an aver-age year, children catchsix to 10 colds.

In familieswith childrenwho are inschool, the num-ber of colds perchild can be ashigh as 12 ayear, accordingto the NationalInstitute ofAllergy andInfectiousDisease.

Here aresome must-know tips fromFeder to combatillness as kidshead back toschool:

1. Humidity and hydration are a must

Dry nasal passages aremore vulnerable to coldand flu viruses. Whenhumidity levels are low,consider using a humidifi-er to add moisture to kids’bedrooms when sleepingand in other areas of thehome. Drinking lots offluids like water and juiceis also a great way to stayhealthy and hydrated.

2. Killing germs is easySome viruses and bac-

teria can live from 20 min-

utes up to two hours ormore on surfaces like cafe-teria tables, playgroundequipment and desks,according to the Centersfor Disease Control and

Prevention. The goodnews is that cold and fluviruses can easily bekilled with hand washing.Insist kids wash theirhands with plain soapand water around thehouse and while at school.

3. Catch symptoms at the onset

To better chances ofnipping symptoms in thebud, be prepared byupdating your medicinecabinet with choices thataddress early symptoms.

Also consider over-the-counter options beyondantihistamines, deconges-tants or cough suppres-sants since the U.S. Foodand Drug Administration

have questionedthe safety andeffectivenessof these ingre-dients for chil-dren.

4. Pack somepersonals

It’s politeto share; it’snot polite toshare germs.Smart parentswill pack afew items likea small per-sonal crayonpack, an indi-vidual minipencil sharp-ener ormechanicalpencils to

reduce kids sharinggerms. Packing a travelsize hand sanitizer andpocket packet of tissue intheir backpack is also agood way to combat ill-ness while they are atschool.

According to the MayoClinic, the common coldis the No. 1 reason whychildren miss school. TheCDC estimates that nearly22 million school days arelost annually due to thecommon cold alone.

When it comes totaking care ofyour eyes, you

have to take care of yourwhole self.

That’s why the caringprofessionals at VisionaryEye Care want to offerthis educational article onhow diabetes can impactyour eyesight.

The major cause ofblindness in people withdiabetes is diabeticretinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy isa term used for all abnor-malities of the small bloodvessels of the retinacaused by diabetes suchas weakening of bloodvessel walls or leakagefrom blood vessels.

Nearly all patients whohave type 1 diabetes forabout 20 years will haveevidence of diabeticretinopathy – no matterhow well controlled theblood sugar.

Up to 21 percent ofpeople with type 2 dia-betes have retinopathywhen they are first diag-

nosed with diabetes. Most will eventually

develop some degree ofretinopathy.

In the U.S. diabetes isresponsible for 8percent of legalblindness, makingit the leading causeof new cases ofblindness in adults20-74 years of age.

Each yearbetween 12,000 and24,000 people losetheir sight becauseof diabetes.

One in every 12people with dia-betes age 40 andolder have vision-threatening diabeticretinopathy.

The Diabetes Controland Complications Trial, a16-year study that endedin June, 1993, provedamong type 1 patientsthat improved blood glu-cose control prevents ordelays diabetic retinopa-thy.

Therapy that keepsblood sugar levels as close

to normal as possiblereduced damage to theeyes by 70 percent.

Because a person withdiabetes can have

retinopathy and not knowit, a regular checkup withan eye care professionallike those at Visionary EyeCare, is essential.

Regular checkups withan eye doctor can detectretinopathy early and pos-sibly prevent blindness.

Age-related maculardegeneration (AMD),

glaucoma, cataract, anddiabetic retinopathy arethe most common eye dis-eases in Americans age 40and over.

The leading cause ofblindness amongCaucasian Americans isAMD, accounting for 54percent of all blindness.

Among AfricanAmericans the leadingcauses of blindness arecataract and glaucoma.Among Hispanics, glauco-ma is the most common

cause of blindness.These causes of eye

injury are not only linkedto the effects of diabetesand blood sugar.

Other conditions suchas high blood pressureand high cholesterolshould be monitored year-ly to maintain the visionthat you enjoy.

If you find yourself spendingtoo much time on householdchores and not enough time

with your family, there’s a simplesolution that can make your lifeeasier: use softened water.

Dreary tasks such as washingdishes, doing laundry and clean-ing up the bathroom and kitchenare easier and less time-consum-ing with softened water – andsoftened water brings added ben-efits such as softer skin andshinier hair.

Hard water forms when natu-rally occurring minerals enterwater sources, a very commonproblem in this country.

Eighty-five percent of thegeography in the United Stateshas hard water according to theU.S. Geological Survey.

As our population grows andbecomes more diverse, manyhomeowners may be feeling theeffects of hard water withouteven realizing it.

The minerals in hard water

make it difficult for soaps, deter-gents and shampoos to lather,which in turn forces you to scrubharder when cleaning yourhome.

In fact, the term “hard water”originally referred to water thatwas difficult or hard to workwith.

Installing a water softener inyour home can greatly reduce thenatural hard minerals found inwater.

Inside the water softener, salt

pellets are used to charge thou-sands of tiny resin beads withsodium ions. As hard watermoves over the resin beads, theminerals are replaced with sodi-um ions, creating soft water.

After all, wouldn’t you ratherspend more time and energy onfamily fun than tiresome house-hold tasks?

MatraciaContracting Inc.would like to

take this opportunity tointroduce you to the con-crete lifting process.

Concrete lifting is aprocess in which a con-crete slab is raised back toits original position.

It is the economicalalternative to tearing outand replacing concrete.

Your concrete is lifted bydrilling one or more holesinto the surface of the con-crete slab, and pumping acement-based slab materialthrough the holes.

This fills any voids anddisplaces any standing

water under the slabwhich may have occurredby settling or rodents bur-rowing under it.

Workers continuepumping until enoughmaterial is pumped underthe slab to raise it back toits original position.

The cement-basedmaterial is a sandy foamcontaining clay, lime andcement. It is non-toxic andenvironmentally safe.

This process works onany concrete slab, side-walks, porches, garagefloors, driveways, housefloors, steps, pool decksand more.
