We’re kicking off this class on D-Day – the perfect day to Dig in and Do it.

Spend ten days digging into your past and getting it done in your future. Each day, Marilu will have a topic for you to explore and questions for you to answer.

Marilu is known for her superior autobiographical memory. This class offers you the opportunity to improve your memory, to learn from your memories, and to create memories as you move into the future.

Members are automatically enrolled in class – just look for your class email on Monday!

Yes, we mention this every three months or so – dental health just doesn’t get the same attention that other health care does.

So… when was the last time you went to the dentist? Dentists recommend an annual visit, so if you haven’t been in a couple of years, treat yourself to an appointment. Yes, we said treat yourself. It’s not torture (although it’s not always pleasant) – most dentists and dental hygienists are open to a bit of conversation before they put anything in your mouth, and you can ask for gentle treatment, or keeping the light out of your eyes, or being able to spit more often – whatever’s going to make it easier for you.

What can you do to have strong, healthy teeth and gums?

• Stop drinking soda and other sweetened beverages! Drink water, especially from dinner until bedtime (if you drink a beverage during that time). That goes for your kids, too.
• Brush your teeth at least twice a day – when you get up (or after breakfast) and before bed (or after dinner if you’re not eating again!). Don’t forget to brush your gums, the roof of your mouth, and your tongue, too. A soft toothbrush (recommended by dentists to prevent damage to tooth enamel) won’t hurt the rest of your mouth.
• FLOSS! Your teeth, of course. Did you know your dentist can tell when you haven’t been doing it?
• Skip the straws when possible. When you suck liquid into your mouth from a straw, it’s like a fire hose of whatever you’re drinking blasting right onto the enamel of your teeth.
• Don’t use your teeth to pull, open, or cut something. Use the right tool – which is not your teeth.
• And just because it’s related to your toothbrush… be sure to put the lid down before you flush. Keep your toothbrush cleaner that way. (Yes, really. That airborne stuff from the flush is just… gross.)
