National Dentist’s Day falls annually on March 6th. It was established as a way to show appreciation and thanks to dentists, dental hygienists, and nurses. It’s also a way to bring awareness to dentistry so that people will know more about how to care for their teeth. It also encourages people who may have avoided going to the dentist to come in for a checkup. Here are some tips to help keep your teeth healthy:
1. Brush teeth for two minutes, twice per day.
2. Floss daily!
3. Visit a dentist twice per year if possible.
4. Eat a balanced diet and limit eating and drinking between meals to reduce corrosion.
National Day of Unplugging is an awareness campaign that promotes a 24-hour respite from technology annually observed the first weekend in March. From sundown-to-sundown March 5-6, 2021, remove yourself from social media and technology, in general, to spend time on other, tech-free things. For over a decade, schools, religious institutions, and businesses have helped their communities celebrate this event to promote healthy life/tech balances.

Today is National Love Your Pet Day! Humans have a longstanding tendency to keep other animals as pets, something that makes us different from most of the animal kingdom. As far back as 12,000 years ago, dogs and cats were buried with their humans – clearly, the deep connection between pets and their parents is one that has persisted for generations on generations. About sixty percent of Americans are current pet owners which led to the 2004 adoption of February 20th as National Pet Day in the U.S.A. So hug your pet close today, and don’t forget to give that pooch a smooch and that cat a scratch!
