Resolve to have a better smile!
Did you know that studies reveal strong links between dental hygiene and your overall health? The American Dental Association recently released an article suggesting possible associations between periodontitis and specific health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, bacterial pneumonia, and even pre-term and low birth weight deliveries in pregnant women. Although no cause-and-effect relationship has been proven thus far, it is evident that treating oral disease can improve one's overall health. Perhaps it's time to add your smile to your list of 2008 resolutions!

Dr. Foley's Team Rejuvenates by Crafting
Dr. Foley and her staff recently enjoyed a day of team-building and much-needed relaxation at a craft shop operated by one of her patients, learning how to make glass cabochon jewelry, which involves shaping and polishing gem stones into rounded shapes and combining them to make beautiful jewelry items.
It's a great activity, and the staff learned a lot about each other's "creative side" during the retreat! |
