Happy October! For those who don't know, National Orthodontic Health Month. This month-long event is organized by our pals at the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO.
Dr. Barbara Hershey, Dr. Gavin Heymann, and our team realize this is a great opportunity for us and to raise awareness about the importance of oral hygiene. National Orthodontic Health Month also aims to recognize the dedicated work of orthodontists like Drs. Hershey, Heymann, and other dental professionals in the Durham and Chapel Hill area.
The AAO recommends patients avoid the following Halloween treats, or recipes with these ingredients:
• Caramel
• Nuts
• Popcorn (including un-popped kernels)
• Taffy
• Jelly beans
• Hard pretzels
• Licorice
• Bubblegum
• Chips
• Ice
If you have any questions, please feel free to give our Durham or Chapel Hill office a call, ask us on Facebook, or ask our team during your visit this month!
