As we all know Halloween is just around the corner. So what does this mean for for you and your braces? Dr. Jeff Shao of Showtime Orthodontic Arts has some helpful suggestion to get you through this spooky day without broken brackets.
Helpful Tips:
1. Make sure that you find a safe place to go trick or treating. If you live in The Woodlands or in the surrounding area On Sunday October 25th The Woodlands Township puts on the most amazing event called “Trick or Treat Trail” It’s location will be at Town Green Park 2099 Lake Robbins Drive The Woodlands, Texas . The event will start at 3 pm and will go until 6 pm. We will be there so stop in and say hi. Dr. Shao will also be giving away some really cool stuff too.
2. Go through and separate your Candy when you are done trick or treating. Of course throw away anything that is partially opened unwrapped or looks suspicious. Here is a list of bracket breaking candies Caramel candy, Gummy candies, Jelly Beans, anything with nuts, licorice, Taffy, Tootsie Rolls, Starburst and Jolly Ranchers. Being in the dental profession, we don’t recommended you eating candy. However, If you can’t resist, then make sure you brush and floss as soon as you finish your treat.
3. If you break a bracket, give us a call and we can help you out. Don’t forget, we are open every weekend.
Have a fun and safe Halloween. We hope to see you at the Trick or Treat Trail.
