BIG REASONS to Shop Small

Not just on Small Business

Saturday, but every day that you can. Need milk, eggs, bread, or beer? Go to the local corner store instead –Say “hey” and get to know the owner who’s paying taxes to keep your neighborhood in tip-top shape.

Get vocal on social

Post pictures, tweets, and status updates of either the small business you own, or of yourself shopping at one, and be sure to use the hashtag #ShopSmall. Also write positive Yelp reviews for the small businesses you love and support.

Sign up for local business’ loyalty programs – Does a local business have a customer loyalty and rewards program? Sign up for it – not only will you be supporting a local business, but you’ll get discounts and rewards for it, too.

What To Know When Buying From A Private Seller

Confirm the number of owners. There’s no magic number of owners a vehicle can have before it’s considered too risky to buy, but the more owners a car has had, the less likely buyers will learn its full history. In addition, if sellers were not the first owners, they won’t know how the car was treated or driven prior to them buying it. That’s another potential red flag to consider before buying a car that has had more than one owner.

How Consumers Can Show Their Support For Local Businesses

Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

Preparing For Dental Implants

Receiving dental implants—or having your teeth removed in preparation for implants—is a surgical procedure not to be taken lightly. You will want to treat the implant process like any other surgery by preparing in advance for your recovery. Clear your schedule and plan to spend the first three days resting at home. Don’t make any strenuous plans during the first week after surgery. You will need to eat soft foods for a few days afterward, so prepare soups, smoothies, and casseroles in advance and store them in the fridge or freezer. If you will be under general anesthesia, you will need to fast for twelve hours before the surgery and secure a ride to and from the procedure.

We will be glad to discuss implants and other available options of keeping your smile a beautiful,happy one. At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we believe in an informed patient, and we promise to provide you with information regarding all aspects of your dental care. You can always count on our experienced, honest recommendation for the treatment best suited to your dental needs. Our goals are the same as yours at 6 Batavia City Centre—a healthy mouth and a brilliant smile. Call 585.343.4246 for an appointment. www.bataviafamilydental.com

P.S. If you will be taking prescription painkillers after your dental implant surgery, make sure you fill the prescription before your procedure takes place.

WHAT CAUSES DEPRESSION?

Althoughthecauseofdepressionremainsamystery,certaindistinguishing factors are common among those who have the condition. People with clinical depression appear to have physical changes in their brains. In addition, naturally occurring brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters likely play a role in depression. The Mayo Clinic states changes in the function and effect of these neurotransmitters and how they interact with neurocircuits involved in maintaining mood stability may play a significant role in depression and its treatment.

In addition to biological factors in the brain, hormones can impact rates of depression or even trigger it. These hormone shifts may be a leading reason why women have higher incidence rates of depression than men. Depression is more common in people whose blood relatives also have the condition. Therefore, those with a family history of depression may be more likely to get it than those without such a connection.
