&lt;p&gt;Also, I thought this was interesting, “In exchange for bringing in their Halloween candy, area children were paid $1 per pound and given flashing toothbrushes, Burger King coupons, and a chance to win a free stem cell harvest”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A free stem cell harvest… now that sounds very non-invasive, and actually quite fun!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course I am totally joking… which would you rather win, a 42 inch flat screen TV ($500) or a Stem Cell Harvest?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://dentalmarketing.tumblr.com/post/247320050</link><guid>http://dentalmarketing.tumblr.com/post/247320050</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:44:19 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Poor dental health can affect brain, say experts</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.dentistry.co.uk/news/news_detail.php?id=2371"&gt;Poor dental health can affect brain, say experts&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Great article for your &lt;a href="http://patientmailings.com" target="_blank"&gt;patient newsletter&lt;/a&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://dentalmarketing.tumblr.com/post/242649509</link><guid>http://dentalmarketing.tumblr.com/post/242649509</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Nov 2009 07:54:13 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Conway Dentist Helping NFL Players</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.todaysthv.com/sports/story.aspx?storyid=94313&amp;catid=56"&gt;Conway Dentist Helping NFL Players&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Hmm, A mouthguard that improves strength and balance by 25%?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Most likely, this process goes like this, if you put the pill in front of the dog, Fido will turn up his nose and walk away. Then you try to you stick it in his mouth, the pill gets spit out… and Fido tends to not come near you for awhile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;BUT, if you take a handful of Alpo, or better yet, raw ground beef and wrap the pill up in it. Fido will chow down that sucker, meat, pill and all like a cupcake at Christmas. Plus, he’ll love you for it, and actually beg for more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In other words, in order to give Fido what he needs, the pill, you need to wrap it up in something he wants, the meat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Same goes for your patients. In order to give them the information about their dental health they need, you need to include something they want.&lt;/p&gt;
