April showers bring May flowers and a few pranks
Some top rated April Fools pranks:
 
The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest 1957:
 
The respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."
 
The Left-Handed Whopper1998:
 
Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version.

Tooth Tips
 
KidsWhat you are eating right now correlates to your risk for tooth decay.
 
Eating patterns and food choices are important factors that affect tooth decay.  In order to reduce acid attacks that cause cavities, snacking should be limited to one time between meals.  Eating a small cheese cube at the end of a meal or snack reduces acid attacks to the teeth.
Please visit our website for more information regarding our practice.
 
Never hesitate to call us if you have any questions regarding your child's dental health.
