Happy March everyone! We love getting festive in our office and St. Patrick’s Day is certainly no exception. We love to wear green on St. Patrick's Day and Dr. Miller usually hangs 2 flags; one to represent Ireland and one from County Kerry, where Dr. Miller’s relatives reside.
At home Dr. Miller celebrates by making corned beef, cabbage, and baking Irish soda bread with her mom's family recipe. Once it’s done baking we like to serve it warm with butter, yummmm! Dr. Miller gathers with her family to eat and talk about their trips to Ireland and all the beautiful people and places they have visited. Most of their stories have to do with experiences staying at bed and breakfasts over the years.
This spring we are hoping to complete our office remodeling project and keep working at our goal of being a "paperless" and chart-less office! Going green has become very important to us. Spring is also a great time to be more active outside. Now that the weather is warmer and the days are longer you can find us going for a walk or a bike ride when we aren’t at the office.
New habits do not just have to start on January 1st. Once the holidays are over there is usually more time to focus on our health and lifestyle choices. Desserts may be delicious but candy and sweets are loaded with sugar, as well as carbohydrates (watch out for some of your favorite snacks like chips, crackers too) and soda. The sugar is broken down to acids which eat away at your tooth's enamel and cause tooth decay or cavities. Dr. Miller highly recommends trying to lower your intake of sugar.
At Children's Dental Clinic of Green Bay we are so lucky to have great patients and parents that always keep us informed on how their families are doing. When we hear we are doing a great job and their kids love to come to the dentist, we can't help but smile, too! We couldn’t do what we do without you!
Wishing you and yours a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
