- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
- Redness or flaky skin on your breast
- Pain or pulling in of your nipple
- Nipple discharge (other than milk!)

Here are a few common sense Halloween tips from our Dentistry Department:
1. Don’t go batty for the candy! Of course, as your Ko’olauloa area dentists, we would prefer you not have so many sugary sweets. The key is moderation.
2. When in doubt throw it out! Make sure your keiki understands that no one eats any candy at all until back home. There it is best to empty your trick-or-treat bag on a table and overlook each piece. Anything that is open, damaged, or just odd-looking should be thrown out.
Mahalo and have a safe and fun Halloween!

Reposting this from a few weeks ago so that yesterday's post made sense. 🙂
Did you know reading to children supports health and wellness?
Even though babies can’t understand everything you’re saying let alone read words, reading aloud is key to brain development needed for math, reading, and even emotional control. Because it’s social time, it’s a time for you to get closer to your baby.
Try to read out loud to your baby every day; before naps and bedtime are ideal. Have them snuggle in your lap when you’re reading to them. Read with enthusiasm. Vary the tone of your voice. You’re not limited to the words on the page. Ask questions. What’s going to happen next? Etc.
At Ko’olauloa Health Center we believe reading is so vital for wellness, that we have a program called Reach Out and Read. Each time your child comes for their visit between the ages of 6 months and 6 years, will receive a new book to add to their personal library. Speaking of libraries. If you don’t have a public library card, go get one! Picking out books with your child will build a lifetime of love for reading.
Concerned about your child’s reading or speaking? Let your primary care provider know. We can usually tell you if they’re on track or not, and if we have any doubts, we can refer your child to the right specialist to figure out the issue and get the needed treatment.
Keiki and adults alike need to stay on schedule for regular wellness visits. Call us today for an appointment. We are always accepting new patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay.
visit www.koolauloachc.org or call (808) 293-9231 for more information.

Are you and your family up-to-date with your vaccinations and boosters?
“Vaccines continue to offer our best protection against both flu and COVID-19 and now keiki as young as six months old can benefit from that same protection. Parents with questions about vaccines are encouraged to ask their healthcare providers for guidance,” said Health Director Dr. Elizabeth Char, FACEP.

Aloha ‘Ohana,
Though mask mandates have been lifted in Hawaii for a while now, please be respectful of the choices of others.
While you may be comfortable going maskless, you can never assume the intentions of others. They may be immunocompromised, have kupuna living at home, or maybe they're just more comfortable wearing a mask out in public.
Mahalo!
