A Little Advice From A Friendly Elf
As you know, we have had a somewhat quiet yet very attentive visitor here at the office – the elf. While he’s usually saving his thoughts up for Santa (letting him know whether you have been a nice or naughty dental care patient), he made a special exception to offer a little advice to us. After taking note of the areas of hygiene that give our patients some difficulty – and hearing how many of them are short on ideas for stocking stuffers – he thought he would offer up some helpful suggestions straight from Mr. Kringle himself. So, while Santa is taking care of the big gifts, you can gather up some little presents that will help your friends and family enjoy long-term oral health.
