GREENIES
Century Orthodontics is supporting going green this month.  If you wear green or recycle something into art and you take a picture of it, you will receive extra ortho coins.  In the entry way there are some ideas on how to be greener in your home and how to give green gifts.  This could be helpful when planning a party, buying a gift, buying groceries and driving your car.

Scavenger Hunt
Century Orthodontics is hosting the 2nd Annual Summer Vacation Scavenger Hunt for all of its patients.  This photo scavenger hunt can be done in any location you may visit this summer break. Patients will be awarded prizes for the most points, the most pictures and the best use of their Century Orthodontic T-shirt.  To find a list for the hunt check our Facebook or stop in any of our offices to pick one up.  Extra coins will be rewarded for early entries. 
Color Can Change the Mood
March is National Color Therapy Month.
Did you know that your favorite color really does say something about the way people think and feel?  Colors can change the mood that you are in and even make you feel better about yourself.  Warm colors are stimulating while cool colors are relaxing.  Neutral colors are colors that blend you into the crowd and are less noticeable; they can have a calming effect on people.  Learning the psychology of color can help bring you to a better mindset.  For more information about learning what your favorite color says about you go to this link http://www.therapycolor.com/
Dr. Seuss Day
March 2nd marks the day when writer, poet and cartoonist, Theodor Seuss Geisel, was born.  When you wake up have your green eggs and ham, and make sure the cat is not wearing a hat but most of all go see the Lorax movie it comes out March 2nd, 2012.  This would have been Dr. Seuss’ 108th birthday.
Read and Return
The second week in March is dedicated to reading and returning books back to the library.   Make sure you search around the house to gather all of the books you have borrowed and return them.  If you have any books that you are finished reading, bring them in to share with our patients.  We love good books and so do our patients.
Day Light Savings Time
Day light savings time with when our clocks spring forward allowing us more day light.  This was created so that farmers would have more time to tend to their crops in the summer months while the children were out of school.
Earth Hour
On the last day in March everyone around the world is suppose to turn off their lights off from 8:30pm-9:30 pm to save energy.  The amount of power that will be saved in that hour will help conserve our Earth and be an environmentally safe way to do so.  Here is a link for more information:
