Some dental patients like the idea of improving their smile without drawing too much attention to the upgrade. Other New York City patients are proud to say, “Look at my new, perfect smile!” Whichever category you fit into, choose a dental-themed Halloween costume to pay homage to the Manhattan dentist who supersized your smile makeover to make you look hauntingly good, every day of the year.
Giant Tooth
Comfy and hard to miss, a giant tooth costume is great fun for a quirky Halloween. If you are dealing with the embarrassment of having overlarge or “horsey” teeth, your NYC dentist can help. Some patients need a smile makeover for their natural teeth that just happen to be a little too big to look good. Other patients ended up with a poor cosmetic dental work and are sick of living with unnatural looking teeth. Meticulously created porcelain veneers will give you the gorgeous smile and toothy grin (but not too toothy) you’ve always wanted.
Tooth Fairy
Don’t be just any fairy, be the Tooth Fairy! Strap on wings, grab a wand, and jingle a bag of tooth-friendly candy or sugar-free gum. Not only will you have a unique costume, you’ll help kids associate losing teeth with goodness and joy. If you can set up even one child with a positive attitude to brushing and flossing, their NYC general dentist will thank you for the support.
Toothbrush
Halloween is full of tasty treats, but if you don’t clean up after them, you could eventually find yourself in deep tooth decay. Your costume will be a nice reminder to your fellow Halloween revelers to brush thoroughly when they get home (or schedule their overdue teeth cleaning and dental exam). If you dare, you could even hand out individually packaged toothbrushes to your trick-or-treaters, just make sure you include a piece of candy, too, so you don’t suffer some devilish consequences later.
Tube of Toothpaste
If you’ll be passing out candy on Halloween, squeeze out chocolate goodies instead of hard candy or sticky sweets. Chocolate clings to your teeth for a shorter amount of time and is unlikely to do any damage to your enamel or existing dental work. Refuse to give up the taffy, licorice, or jawbreakers and you just might find yourself needing a new porcelain crown or tooth-colored filling.
Dentist
It’s the most obvious choice! Creep up your dentist costume with fake blood, fangs, or some scary instruments. If you frighten any people who are anxious about dental work, just remind them that sedation dentistry is available from your friendly NYC dentist Dr. Michael J. Wei at his office on Madison Avenue.
Schedule your appointment today to get smile-ready for Halloween and every holiday. Teeth whitening or cosmetic tooth bonding can happen in just one quick visit to your dentist, which means you’ll be costume ready for October 31 and beyond.
