Spring Creek Elementary STEM And Teacher Appreciation Assembly
November 21, 2016
Recognizing Greatness Through STEM
Bluff Creek Dental loves helping out in the community, especially with educational programs. So, when an opportunity presented itself to do so, Dr. Crowley just couldn’t say no to being able to recognize a wonderful teacher and give the students at a local school a bit of educational fun.
Dr. Crowley connected with Mad Science to organize a highly entertaining STEM assembly on the afternoon of November 18th, 2016 at 2pm for students at Spring Creek Elementary School in Edmond, OK. The STEM assembly was conducted by Morgan Davis deemed “Professor Elemental”.
The theme of the STEM assembly focused on “Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math” principles, but with thrilling science experiments and verbiage that the children could easily grasp. The underlying message of these assemblies was “Up, Up, and Away” as each experiment sought to teach children to dream so big that they could metaphorically be taken up, up, and away.
As intended by the Mad Science company, the students were also encouraged to find science interesting, see it as adventurous, and even be intrigued enough to want to pursue STEM related careers when they grow up.
Professor Elemental made the show very special by continuing to call upon random volunteer students from each grade level to the stage to help with various experiments. The twist came at the end of each show where the unsuspecting teacher was called upon the stage to help with the final experiment.
Randi Eckman (4th grade teacher) was called to help. She had no idea that in the end she would be awarded with a $50 gift card to Amazon and a Certificate Of Appreciation for all of her hard work which was presented by Dr. Crowley on behalf of Bluff Creek Dental. Finally, to give everyone the opportunity to practice their very own science experiments, as a parting gift, Dr. Crowley gave the school a big book of science experiments to keep in the school library.

Dentist OKC: The Love Of Providing Good Dentistry
When you think about what you’re thankful in the next week or so things that come to mind may include family, friends, and food! Our dentist in OKC loves all of these things, too, but today our focus of gratitude goes to dentistry. It’s the perfect time of year to reflect on what we all have to be grateful for in our lives. While our dentist in OKC is thankful all year long for the opportunity to provide good dentistry to families, we’ve decided to take this week to talk a bit about why there’s so much joy in this line of work.
Some people may not think that digging around inside of others people’s mouths would be such a fun job to have, but truthfully the most satisfying thing about treating dental patients is making them leave their fear of the dentist behind! From the moment patients walk into the door at our dental office we love to make a difference.
Our dentist in OKC loves being able to talk to the patients, get to know what makes them feel calmer, and work towards providing the best experience possible. Giving patients a positive outlook on coming to the dentist is the best way Dr. Crowley can think of to make an impact for a lifetime.
Second to making people feel comfortable coming to the dentist our dentist loves being able to make patients happy with their own smiles. Our goal is to have patients leave the office feeling better about their smile before they walked in! We hope that your smiles are important to you and that if you’ve had the chance to be our patient that you’re thankful the work we’ve been able to complete for you.
We hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving! Should you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment after the holiday, feel free to call our office at 405-751-5515 or click here.

The Strengthener For Teeth
Candy, ice, citrus, coffee and sticky foods are the stuff of nightmares for teeth. Chomping down on these types of foods will certainly increase the chance for more damage to be done and possibly cause your bright smile to diminish. Of course, brushing and flossing are always recommended as the fluoride in the toothpaste will help to fight off nasty cavity causing bacterias, but there is something even more protective that you can do. This “miracle” treatment will require a trip to the dentist, but isn’t your smile worth it?
