This document summarizes information from the newsletter of a dental practice called Pearlywhites DDS. It announces a summer referral program offering double gift cards to patients who refer their spouses or partners to try the practice. It also discusses the causes and symptoms of heavy metal toxicity, noting some patients accumulate toxic levels from sources like fish, fillings, and cosmetics. Finally, it promotes the use of pedometers to track daily steps and porcelain veneers to enhance smiles.

What would it take to keep you smiling and happy? Happiness is a serious issue.
Don’t laugh – there’s an actual institute dedicated to researching the topic. One thing is
for certain: relationships, work, and social confidence can be affected by your smile.
Whether you need just a little bit of help or a complete smile makeover, here are
some options that we can use alone, combined with each other, or in combination
with other cosmetic options.

4. Famous Patient Profile Ann (center) with Andrea & Sandra
Ann Bingham Freeman
Artists generally think “outside the box.” Dynamic
artist and patient Ann Bingham Freeman thinks outside
the globe. She’s contributing her highly expressive talent to
the traveling exhibit, “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler
Planet.” The project is meant to spread awareness of global
warming and present possible solutions. Using a five
foot wide fiberglass globe as a canvas, Ann collaborated
with two artists/friends from Chicago (birthplace of the
project two years ago), Andrea Harris and Sandra Bacon.
The result is a colorful world map wake-up call to save all
rainforests. Ann painted the Australian continent and
molded indigenous animals in relief, to emphasize One of Anne’s
bronze figurines
the unconscionable phasing out of species as
deforestation continues.
Such nature-themed imagery is rampant in
Ann’s Yucaipa workshop, where bright, colorful
canvases of her stylized human and animal
figures compete for visitor attention against
hand painted tiles, welded sculptures and, her
latest love, cast bronze figurines. Ann’s a veritable
art media junkie. That she was invited to share in the
creation underscores her reputation among artists. Equally meaningful to her is
having the opportunity “to let people know how important it is to conserve the
environment.” Ann, we are all green with pride at your accomplishment! The Globe
