The month of July means many things to people…It is

the start of the second half year, “Dog Days of

Summer” begins, summer school has started for those

lucky kids, summer camps, trips to the beaches or

mountains and big outdoor celebrations.

We have many ways to celebrate these July

traditions. We are located about two hours from the

mountains, one hour to the Chesapeake bay, two

hours to the ocean, just to name a few. There are

many wonderful summer camps for the children to

enjoy, whether it is at the YMCA or a sleep away

camp at Sandy Hill in Maryland.

There are many local farmers markets to buy fresh,

local produce. Kennett Square has a wonderful

collection of local farmers and artisans that bring their

products every Friday from 2 PM to 6 PM.

Kennett Square is hosting the finale of the Chesco

Gran Prix bike race on July 13th. It is a bike race that

Kennett Smiles July 2013

Here are some fun Fourth of July facts to

celebrate our nation’s 237th

birthday.

1. 56 men originally signed the Declaration of

Independence in Independence Hall in

Philadelphia.

2. Samuel Wilson (1766-1854), a meat

distributor to the United States Army during

his life, became known as the original “Uncle

Sam.” He marked all his barrels of meat with

“US” since the meat was to become US

government property, however, soldiers

colloquially referred to the “US” labels as

Uncle Sam in reference to Samuel Wilson.

The term later became consistent with

referencing the US federal government.

3. The Liberty Bell was replaced by the

Centennial Bell in 1876 in Independence Hall

Steeple after it suffered a major crack.

4. Benjamin Franklin is featured on the $100

note, with a duplicate of a historical painting of

Independence Hall on the reverse side. The

$100 note has been the largest US currency

denomination in print since 1969, the same

year that the $500, $1000, and $10,000 notes

were retired. Historical figures Benjamin

Franklin on the $100 bill and Alexander

Hamilton on the $10 bill are the only non-

presidential figures featured on US currency.

Summer Water Safety Tips

For the Beach, Shore and Lakes:

o Check local surf conditions and tide

times. Always swim when a lifeguard is

present. Even advanced swimmers can

drown.

o Be aware and learn to recognize riptides.

If you are caught in a riptide, swim

parallel to the shoreline until you are free

from the pull of the current. Signal a

lifeguard for assistance. Do not panic!

Drowning isn’t what Hollywood portrays it to be;

especially in young children. “Fight or flight”

responses cause a rush of blood to the

extremities and can prevent a person from

shouting for help or raising their arms to signal

for assistance.

When enjoying the water by boat, always make

sure everyone has a personal floatation device.

Boat safety also requires a designated captain,

preferably one who has experience.

Dental Fact: Why are X-Rays needed and why are they good

for your overall health?

X-Rays are a form of radiation used in a

variety of healthcare environments. X-Rays

allow for a view of things that cannot be

seen during a regular clinical exam. By

delivering safe and controlled doses of

radiation, an X-Ray can provide your

dentist with valuable diagnostic

information such as: exposing hidden

dental decay, locating plaque below the

gum line, identifying bone loss, and also

reveal abscesses, cysts, and even tumors.

Our office uses a digital x-ray machine,

allowing us to utilize 80X less radiation

than the background radiation that we

receive from the sun, the environment, and

even cell phones and microwaves

Please feel free to ask one of our

hygienists at your next appointment if you

have any questions or concerns regarding

your care.

She laughs at everything you say.

Why?

Because she has fine teeth.

Benjamin Franklin
