National Orthodontic Health Month begins October 1st!

October is National Orthodontic Health Month! Here at Skelton Orthodontics, we will be celebrating all month long!

Each October, kids across North Alabama have one thing on their mind: Halloween candy! For Dr. Skelton and her staff, the Halloween season is about helping patients avoid potentially “sticky” situations.

October is the perfect time of year to learn about orthodontic health. Besides, everyone knows that Halloween candy can give any orthodontist a scare!

Of course, we want your to enjoy Halloween and all the goodies along with it. In the end, your orthodontic health plays a big role in your treatment time and result! However, enjoying your Halloween candy in moderation (and following Dr. Skelton’s list of foods to avoid) will pay off in a beautiful, healthy smile.
