At Davis Family Orthodontics, we love celebrating Halloween with our patients in Lawrenceville, Morrow, Stone Mountain, and Loganville, GA. As much fun as costumes, candy, and spooky decorations are, it’s important to remember that Halloween can also be a challenging time for orthodontic patients. If you or your child is wearing braces, it’s essential to be mindful of what candies and treats are safe to enjoy.
Sticky, chewy, and hard candies can damage your orthodontic appliances and extend your treatment time. Instead, opt for orthodontist-approved sweets like soft chocolates, peanut butter cups, and other melt-in-your-mouth treats. This way, you can still enjoy the holiday without risking your braces or aligners.
Dr. Laura Davis and the team encourage our patients to focus on fun activities like pumpkin carving, costume contests, and attending local Halloween events. We even love seeing your creative braces-friendly costumes!
For patients worried about missing out on their favorite treats, remember that taking care of your teeth now will pay off in the long run with a healthy, beautiful smile. And if you’re ever unsure about what’s safe to eat, don’t hesitate to reach out to our office.
From all of us at Davis Family Orthodontics, have a fun, safe, and braces-friendly Halloween! And don’t forget to brush and floss after enjoying your Halloween treats to keep your smile in top shape.
Best wishes for a spooky and safe Halloween,
Dr. Laura Davis and the Team at Davis Family Orthodontics
