Halloween is just around the corner and that means lots of CANDY!!!Dr. Scanlan and his team want to make sure you have a fun and safe Halloween and that you know the difference between braces-safe and non-braces-safe candy. Sticky, chewy or hard candy can cause a great deal of damage to your brackets and wires, which can lead to more time spent in braces.
Here are some candies to avoid this year, if you are in braces.
Starburst®, Tootsie Roll®, Laffy Taffy®, salt water taffy, Jolly Rancher®, bubble and chewing gum, Air Heads®, Skittles®, Peanut M&M’s®, Snickers®, caramels and caramel and candy apples, jelly beans, Blow Pops®, Twizzlers®, Sugar Daddies®, Almond Joy®, Mike and Ike® and any other candies that are sticky, chewy, or hard.
Be safe and have fun!
