Trick-or-treat! In the spirit of this weekend's sweet and spooky holiday, Dr. Mike Hilgers and our experienced team at Hilgers Orthodontics would like to remind all of our patients in Goodyear, Litchfield Park and nearby communities to be safe while celebrating with friends and family this weekend. Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists were kind enough to provide 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, including sticky, chewy, gummy and nutty goodies. If you happen to damage your braces, please give us a call immediately. Typically, small problems can be solved over the phone.
We wish you all a safe, fun and happy Halloween weekend!
