Community Care Clinic of Dare

02/27/2026

Yesterday was a very special KID’S DAY at the Community Care Dental Clinic. 6 children of existing dental patients received cleanings and fluoride treatment and were educated on the importance of brushing their teeth.
Look at those SMILES!
We hope to have more of these events in future to support our existing registered families.

Thank you No Bad Foods, LLC. A little different, but fun. I love EASY

I'm all for getting the kids involved in the kitchen, especially on the weekends. This is a great recipe that has a lot of options and flexibility. It's a little messy but the kids should like that! And let them pick it up with their hands if it's cool enough. No fuss! Also, lining the sheet-pan with foil takes the heavy clean up out of the equation.
These are my Make It Your Way Biscuits - here you go!

Thank you No Bad Foods, LLC for this very important information.

February is traditionally the month where hearts come into focus with many people celebrating Valentine’s Day. It is also Women’s Heart Health Month which is not as widely recognized – haven’t seen one Hallmark card yet that brings it into focus. (Hint, hint)
A few very sobering facts about women and heart disease –
• It’s the number 1 killer of women in the United States. (www.cdc.gov/heart )
• Women’s deaths related to heart disease are greater than all cancers combined in women.
• Only about half of American women (56%) recognize that heart disease is their #1 killer. (www.cdc.gov/heart )
• Risk factors include high blood pressure, lack of exercise, obesity, diabetes, smoking, and high cholesterol to name a few. (www.heart.org and www.cdc.gov/heart )

Women’s heart attack symptoms may differ from men. According to www.heartfoundation.org.au here are the 5 most common symptoms women may feel that men might not:
• Dizziness, lightheadedness or feeling faint
• Nausea, indigestion or vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Sweating or a cold sweat
• No symptoms at all

A few things you can do to help yourself and other women:
• Get checked by your doctor to determine if you have heart disease and/or any of the contributing factors. If so, be proactive and make positive changes to your lifestyle.
• Consider becoming more active on a regular basis. A little daily activity goes a long way!
• Take a look at the Mediterranean Diet and see what you can start changing in your diet – small changes have big effects. (www.my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/16037-mediterranean-diet
• Share this information – you just might save a life!
