Dr. Green and his staff strive to provide our patients with quality treatment and care.  This month we received our re-certification in CPR for adults, children and infants.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. GREEN!

Congratulations to Allie, winner of our Jingle Bell Rock contest. We hope you enjoy your Kindle!

Firefighters come each year to teach fire safety to a classroom:

Firefighter: This is a fire alarm. It is used to signal people in a house that there is smoke and maybe even a fire.

Kindergartner: No it isn't, that's an alarm to tell my mommy that the food is done.

Amaze your family and friends with some St. Patrick's Day facts. Did you know that the first St. Patrick's Day parade was not in Ireland, but Boston in the year 1737? Nine of the people singing the Declaration of Independence were of Irish origin. Did you know that for every 1 lucky four-leaf clover found there are 10,000 regular three-leaf clovers? The Irish flag is green, orange, and white. Green represents the people of the south, orange represents the people of the north, and white represents the peace that brings them together. Did you know that every year, the Chicago River is dyed green using 40 pounds of green vegetable dye. Funny, since the original color associated to St. Patrick's Day was blue. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Are you ready for a little extra daylight when you get out of school and off work? Most people can't wait for this event each year. The main purpose of Daylight Savings Time is very simple-to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. The rationale behind Daylight Saving Time is to save energy in the summer months by extending the daylight in the evening when more people would be using more lights and electricity. So, don't forget to spring forward one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night so you can enjoy an hour more daylight on Sunday!

All of us at Green Orthodontics would like to welcome Sam to our office for the day. Sam will be shadowing Dr. Green today. If you are in the office be sure to say hello to Sam!
