October is National Orthodontic
Health Month. October also winds up with Halloween, one of our favorite
holidays. Kids with braces need to be careful when they bite into treats.
Eating these “off limits” foods will break your braces and lengthen treatment
time. Bobbing for apples is not recommended for braces. Orthodontic patients
can enjoy thinly sliced apples, dipped in yogurt or creamy chocolate
sauce. Of course, Halloween does not
have to be completely treat-less. Plain chocolate candy is OK, provided you
remember to brush and floss after wards.
Check back all month long for tips and recipes to celebrate National Orthodontic Health Month with Orthodontic Specialists of Florida!
