To stay on Dr. Kennell's good side this fall, make sure to follow these Halloween Guidelines to insure your braces stay secure. It is important to keep your teeth healthy this Halloween as well!
Here is what to AVOID when you go trick-or-treating:
- Taffy
- Caramels
- Starbursts
- Jellybeans
- Licorice/Twizzlers
- Candy Corn
- Bubblegum
- Tootsie Pops/Lollipops
- Hard/Chewy Candy
Here is what you CAN eat after trick-or-treating:
- Chocolate that does not contain caramel or nuts
- Kit Kats
- 3 Musketeers
- Mounds
- York Patties

We do not wish to turn you away from celebrating Halloween just because you have braces. It is always fun to dress up and go Trick-or-Treating, just make sure you do it the braces-friendly way. There are still plenty of candies to enjoy with your braces. With that being said, the overall health of your teeth matters too! So, after enjoying your candy for the night make sure to thoroughly brush and floss! If you do make a mistake and eat something you are supposed to and a bracket comes off, please let us know ASAP!
