October & Orthodontics: The Dental Connection!

Happy October!  For those who don't know, it's National Orthodontic Health Month.  This month-long event is organized by our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO.

Dr. Thomas and our team realize that this is a great opportunity for us to raise awareness about the importance of oral hygiene.  National Orthodontic Health Month also aims to recognize the dedicated work of orthodontists and other dental professionals in Oklahoma!

The AAO recommends that 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
  • Ice

If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at 918-455-0123, ask us on Facebook, or during your next visit!

God Bless,
