A little Holiday Cheer!

December 14th, 2015

Here's a fun little poem we found on-line! HO!HO!HO!
Twas the night before Christmas,
and I'd been put through my paces
To cook, clean and wrap with my teeth set in braces.
The cookies so crunchy, the roast beef so chewy
But alas I must eat food that's softer and gooey.
My family munched on their crackers and chips
(Well, those only would have gone straight to my hips).
With my chompers a-hurtin from ear to ear
It's been hard to come up with that old Christmas cheer.
But I know that it all will pay off, all of this grief
When two Christmases from now, Santa brings me straight teeth!
This year, however, I'll cut him some slack
And wish for a case that good dental wax!
So goodbye crooked teeth
And spaces too tight!
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good bite!

Giving 'Thanks' with Braces

November 19th, 2015

Holidays can feel like a challenge with braces, especially if this is your first holiday season with them.

With Thanksgiving coming up next week we made a short list of holiday food favorites that are safe for you to eat; as well as ones to avoid when you have braces.

These should be safe for you to eat with braces:

  • Ham and/or Turkey
  • Corn: this can be tricky, while you shouldn’t have corn on the cob, cream corn is fine
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Stuffing (as long as there are no nuts or crunchy foods hidden within it)
  • Green beans (with the same warning to be on the look out for crunchy items in casseroles)
  • Most desserts are safe as long as they aren’t too crunchy or have anything to sticky like caramel etc on them.

Here are some foods to avoid this holiday season, and the rest of the year!

  • Caramel (as mentioned above)
  • Popcorn
  • Chips
  • Nuts

Braces AREN'T just for the kiddos!

November 12th, 2015
