Do you have a new braces wearer in your family? With Memorial Day this weekend you might be worried about what they are going to eat at the neighborhood cookout. Carrots, pretzels, and caramel brownies are not the best choices for a someone with braces.
At Reagin Orthodontics we recommend you avoid hard, crunchy foods to prevent damage to your braces, but chances are your mouth may be a little tender and you won’t want those foods anyway. Don’t worry, there are lots of delicious options and we’ve created a Pinterest board to help you find something you can take to the cookout that everyone will enjoy!
Here are a few of our favorites!
Cranberry Chicken Wrap from MenuMusings.com
Pepperoni Rolls from TheGunnySack.com
Watermelon Feta Salad from FreshFromFlorida.com
Is your mouth watering yet? We have lots of other ideas on our Braces Friendly board on Pinterest. After you gather ideas for your weekend picnic, find inspiration for snacks and dinners all year long or visit one of our other boards and see some of the fun things that Dr. Reagin’s team have been pinning!
