Trick-or-treat! In the spirit of October’s sweet and spooky holiday, Halloween, Dr. Bryan King and Dr. Earle King would like to remind all of our patients to be safe while celebrating. The American Association of Orthodontists 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 Drs. Bryan and Earle King and our staff a call immediately. Typically, small problems can be solved over the phone.
Dr. Bryan King earned his DMD from The University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine and holds his Master of Dental Science in Periodontics from The University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine.
