April 2012


Quote of the Month

“There’s something to love in everyday.”
Spring Time
If you and your family are traveling to a place other than the backyard, send us a postcard of your springtime extravaganza and receive extra Coins from our staff.  Spring is a great time to get away from all your school time worries, but this is not a time to forget about your braces. Please keep up good oral hygiene all year long. 
What’s up St. Louis?
St. Louis has a lot going on this month and, many things have to do with Earth Day.  For more information visit: www.stlouisearthday.org
Arbor Day
Arbor Day this year is the 28th of April.  What is Arbor Day you ask? On this day we help to replenish one of our Earth’s natural resources by planting trees. This will help our environment and give a healthy supply of oxygen to our Earth. So remember to plant a tree. www.arborday.org
 April Foolery
The month of April is a month of laughs and practical jokes.  Maybe this is the reason so many of our famous comedians and funny people were born in this month.  Some of the funny people are David Letterman, Eddie Murphy, George Lopez, Carol Barnett, Jay Leno, and Jerry Seinfeld. 
Did you know?
Did you know during the day you swallow 2,000 times?  This helps flush away bacteria.  At night you swallow about 20 times, this is why it is so important to brush your teeth before you go to sleep.  Braces straighten your teeth, but they can also help rid your face of wrinkles and trade them in for a beautiful smile.  Did you know that teeth maybe considered feminine? Feminine teeth tend to be rounded and soft where as male teeth are more angular with straighter edges.
 Scavenger Hunt
Century Orthodontics is hosting a summer vacation scavenger hunt for all of our patients.  This photo scavenger hunt can be done in any location you visit this summer. 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.

May is a month for celebration of spring.  This month is national Barbeque month so spend time with loved ones and feast on friendship and food.  May is a month for great smiles so put on a smile and keep it there.   Don’t forget to get mom something special for mother’s day.    The month of May is also Get Fit Fast month and bike month.  There are so many great ways to get fit and stay healthy, in the spring and summer months.  This month keep a log of all the fitness activities that you take part in.  One-way to take part in two May observations are to ride your bike for health and for fun.  Look on our website for some unique ideas for all of these May celebrations.
