Support the Pearland MDA Lock-up with Pearland Pediatric Dentistry!

Dr. Pamela Clark and her staff at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry have been accused of being armed with big hearts and have just been sentenced to jail by the Muscular Dystrophy Association!

Here's a personal message from Dr. Clark:

Hello all!!

I will be a jailbird for the Muscular Dystrophy Association on December 13 at Johnny Carino's Restaurant in Pearland. I will be collecting bail money in order for me to get out of jail!!

This money will be going to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to raise money for children with Muscular Dystrophy to attend Summer Camp. This is an amazing experience for these children because they have the opportunity to forget about their disease and have a wonderful time.

I was very fortunate to be a MDA Summer Camp counselor for two summers when I was in high school and college. I can say summer camp was not only one of the best experiences of my life, but also one of the most memorable experiences for any of the campers. Each camper has an assigned counselor that is with them the entire time of camp to take care of them. The money collected from this fundraiser will go to sending campers and counselors to camp! My goal is $1600 to send one child and one counselor to camp.

Please help these kids, thank you!

Arraignment date: December 13, 2011
Location: Johnny Carino's
Bail goal: $1600, sends 2 people to MDA Summer Camp

Happy Veterans Day from Pearland Pediatric Dentistry

Happy Veterans Day! Today is a day to thank all military veterans and the men and women currently on active duty that put their lives on the line for the freedoms we all enjoy.

In celebration of Veterans Day, Drs. Pamela Clark and Suha Reddy and our team would like to share a few fun facts about our flag, this national holiday, and our country’s history!

-Veterans Day, a day that was originally called Armistice Day, is a time to thank and honor the men and women who have served in our military.

- President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the official legislation for Veterans Day on June 1, 1954, changing the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day

-There are 23.2 million veterans in the U.S.

-The flag was first approved by Congress on June 14, 1777

-Each of the flag’s colors signify different American values- red is for valor and zeal, white is for hope, purity, and cleanliness of life, and blue is for heaven, loyalty, sincerity, justice, and truth

-Research by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) helped develop the CAT Scan, the cardiac pacemaker, and the “Seattle Foot” to give those hurt the ability to run and jump

-When the flag is displayed next to another flag against a wall, the U.S. flag should be on its own right (on the left side when facing the wall).

-Veterans Day is often confused with Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a time for remembering and honoring the men and women who died while serving our country, or as a result of injuries that incurred in battle. Veterans Day honors and gives thanks to all veterans who served in our military.

-There are five states with over 1 million veterans in their population – California, Florida, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania

We are so thankful for all who have and are currently serving in the U.S. and overseas!

Cold season is here, from Pearland Pediatric Dentistry

Cold and flu season is here - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that a common cold usually includes sneezing, runny nose, sore throat and coughing. Symptoms can last for up to two weeks.
