AKA Candy-Coma Day…
In preparation for Halloween trick-or-treating, we’ve been quizzing our patients on braces-friendly candies so they wouldn’t get tempted and break brackets. Those on the ball knew to stay away from hard candies and candy that was super sticky or chewy. The best candies are the softer ones like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Milky Way, and 3Musketeers in my humble opinion. Some said they liked lollipops and suckers, but that’s only for the very few of us who have the will power not to bite into them (certainly not me!).
We also conducted an extensive polling on costume ideas and created a fun costume inspiration wall. This turned out to be quite helpful for many of you who were undecided about trick-or-treatin and waited until the last minute. We enjoyed learning about everyone’s costume choices and their spook-tacular plans.
How many trick-or-treaters did you have at the house? More or less than last year? Did you collect more than five pounds of candy? Please feel free to share with us your creative costume pictures on our Facebook page. We would love to see them!
For those of you who weren’t at the office on Halloween, the Smile Team at FVO dressed up as Waldo! There were five Waldo characters walking around and one Waldo in a white coat! 🙂 Our patients visiting us on Halloween got to participate in a Where’s Waldo scavenger hunt to find the secret hiding places for Waldos hiding on our office walls. The hiding places were tricky, but you are all so clever, we knew you’d find them.
As a friendly reminder, voting begins today for our FVO Pumpkin Decorating Contest. We are blown away by the variety and creativity from 17 different pumpkin submissions…we have everything from unicorns to Ninja turtles to one-eyed monsters and so many other fun transformations. Don’t forget to stop in and cast your vote! We will also post pictures on our Facebook page so you can direct message us your vote if that’s easier. All of the pumpkins are lined up in the back of the office. Voting takes place until November 8, and the winner will be announced November 9.
