From now until February 14th, put a Valentine in Morris’ mailbox and he will write one back to you!

Did you know that February is National Children’s Dental Health Month? Or that we have an entire exhibit for learning about the importance of dental hygiene? Thanks to our friends at Klement Family Dental, we’re able to offer a fun and imaginative way to learn what it means to take care of your teeth! This month while supplies last, encourage your little ones to be brave explorers at the dentist and they could get their very own Smile Sidekick Squishy – just like Morris has!
