Today on DelmarvaLife:

Studies show your oral health can actually say a lot about what’s going on with the rest of your body. That’s why it’s so important to make your dental health a priority. Sharon Dashiell is with Eastern Shore Mission Of Mercy to tell us about the opportunity to receive free dental care. The Eastern Shore Mission of Mercy will offer a free dental clinic for adults on Friday and Saturday, March 10 and 11, at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center. Clinic treatment begins at 7 a.m. each day. Once the clinic is full, there will be no more admissions for treatment. Dentistry work includes preventive dentistry and cleanings, nutritional counseling, restorative fillings, and extractions. Each patient will receive approximately one hour of professional dental care as evaluated by and provided by licensed Maryland dental professionals. Some health conditions may limit or prevent dental treatment.

Flowers are the go-to gift for Valentine’s Day and while it’s not uncommon to wait until the last minute to pick some up, ordering them early is a lot less stressful. Sean stopped by Flowers Unlimited in Salisbury to find out something you should keep if you plan on using flowers to “I love you” next week.

If you’re not up to heading out and facing the crowd this Valentine’s Day, staying home and making a nice meal might be in your plans. Sean shows us a few simple tricks that will really help set the mood on Valentine’s Day.
