"October is National Orthodontic Health and Halloween Month, and we all know what is in abundance at Halloween....CANDY!! We always stress a good brushing and flossing routine all year round, but it is especially important during the fall season because of the availibility of Halloween candy. We want you to enjoy your candy while keeping your smiles clean and healthy! During your orthodontic treatment we caution you to stay away from very sticky, chewy, hard, and crunchy candy and food because they can loosen or break your orthodontic appliances, which can add to your treatment time.

Additionally, children should have their first orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7 in order to see if preventative treatment is needed. We want them to avoid larger orthodontic issues when they are older. If you are an adult, you should call and set up an orthodontic evaluation for yourself as soon as possible to address any problem you may have!"
