Why Minimally-invasive Dentistry is Best for Kids
Minimally-invasive dentistry is a fancy name for the evolving science that supports the concept of "less is more" when it comes to dental treatment in children. It includes a whole gamut of treatment modalities including fluoride varnish application, silver diamine fluoride for arrest of cavities, SMART fillings which require minimal tooth preparation and have a healing effect on the cavity with fluoride release, composite resin fillings, special stainless-steel crowns for treating cavities in very young kids and resin infiltration with ICON - a drill-free treatment of white-spot lesions in permanent front teeth. The days of large silver amalgam fillings are numbered, especially in young children, thanks to the plethora of great materials and evidence-based application for pediatric dentistry.

Auditions Now Open for Innovation Show Choir
The Innovation Show Choir is a dynamic, entertaining group of talented young people who perform musical selections with movement and choreography ranging from classic musical theater repertoire to iconic pop favorites. Members are chosen by audition and range in age from 8 to 18 (third grade through 12th grade).
Performing at venues throughout the greater Los Angeles area, the Choir inspires and nurtures young people as they strive for artistic excellence while instilling a lifelong appreciation of the choral and dance arts. Students learn basic elements of vocal technique - posture, breathing, articulation and placement - and choral technique: singing in harmony, phrasing, dynamics and tempo. Students are also trained in dance techniques, including blocking, synchronized choreography, arm movements and body isolations.
Rehearsals are held weekly during the season in Newhall. Competitive tuition rates - as well as discounts and financial aid - are available to qualifying families.
