The hidden secret of the chocolate Easter bunnies.

Happy Easter. 

We wish you a great holiday break. 

However, a chocolate Easter bunny is a nice treat; however, be careful of hidden dangers.

Chocolate with fruit and nut: the nuts are too hard and may cause brackets to come off. The raisins are very sticky and will get stuck around your appliance.

Chocolate that contains caramel is very sticky and chewy and should be avoided.

Chocolate that contains nougat: Nougat gets stuck around your appliance.

Chocolate from the fridge is too hard to eat whilst wearing orthodontic appliances; ensure it is at room temperature before consuming.

However, we advise avoiding sugary foods while wearing braces. While wearing your braces, you will want to avoid extremely soft, chewy or sticky foods that contain a large amount of sugar or starch. Foods that are safe and unsafe while you are wearing your braces.

Cake and pies

Energy drinks

Extremely soft bread

Fruit juices

Gum

Heavily processed foods

Ice cream

Fizzes

Sports drinks

And it is essential to brush your teeth 30 minutes after every meal. 

This role will keep your teeth nice and healthy throughout orthodontic treatment.

Easter Bunny Smile

Many of us will be expecting a visit from the Easter bunny very soon and are looking forward to enjoying a few sweet treats and time with family and friends. During Easter, you want to enjoy the activities, but it’s essential to protect your dental health. With a bit of foresight, you can enjoy sweet treats without spoiling your smile.

However, foods to completely avoid with braces include:

  • popcorn
  • nuts
  • ice
  • chewing gum
  • hard candy
  • chewy candy
  • pizza crust
  • bagels and other hard rolls
  • crunchy vegetables and fruits
  • hard crackers
  • pretzels
  • chips

Whenever you eat something sugary, it feeds bacteria in your mouth, allowing them to produce acid that weakens and damages your tooth enamel, eventually causing cavities. 

So, while the occasional sweet treat is OK, limit yourself to only a few sugary foods and beverages a week.

Above all, make sure you take the time to brush your teeth thoroughly twice daily or more frequently as possible and floss at least once each day.

Enjoy your long Happy Easter Weekend
