October is also National Orthodontic Health Month –
- Dental Hygiene with Braces – Share posts, pictures, and videos on your social media platforms and your Google My Business listing all about how to care for your teeth with braces, how to care for your clear aligners, and how to care for your retainers.
- Braces Friendly Candy – Share on your social media platforms what candy to avoid and what snacks/treats are braces friendly.

Create a hand-out for your patients listing the best local cider mills and apple orchards. Include any fall-themed events taking place in your community. You can also post local fall-themed community events to your office Facebook page.
