The hidden secret of the chocolate easter bunnies.
Happy Easter.
We wish you a great holiday break.
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.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?
If you’re keen to dive into the details, Deborah Morris breaks down all the latest insights.
‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
