A few safety tips for this Halloween, from Wenger Orthodontics

Trick-or-treat! In the spirit of October’s sweet and spooky holiday, Halloween, our doctors at Wenger Orthodontics would like to remind all of our patients to be safe while celebrating with friends and family. The American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, has provided trick-or-treaters with some tips for a ghoulishly good time.

A few Halloween safety guidelines:
• Young children should always be accompanied by an adult
• Carry a flashlight
• Wear a light-colored or reflective costume
• Choose face paint over masks for young ghosts and goblins
• Have an adult inspect all treats before the children dig in


Many treats can cause havoc for trick-or-treaters who are going through orthodontic treatment. If you happen to damage your braces, please give our staff at Wenger Orthodontics a call immediately. Typically, small problems can be solved over the phone.
