It is Xmas time, and a lot of fantastic food is around which attracts you sens.However, there are some kinds of food you have to avoid when you have Braces.Foods to completely avoid with braces include:nutspopcornicechewing gumhard candychewy candypizza crustbagels and other hard rollscrunchy vegetables and fruitshard crackerspretzelschipsLimit the consumption of sugary foods and drinks while having braces. When sugar mixes with saliva, it creates a sticky film (plaque) that coats the teeth.Brushing can remove plaque, but that becomes harder to do with braces. And if you're unable to remove this sticky film, there's a risk of tooth decay.Be mindful that braces are sensitive to damage, so you'll need to avoid certain foods for as long as you have braces.These include sticky and hard foods that can damage the wires or bands, or cause a bracket to separate from a tooth.What can we do to make you smile?Call Candice and make an appointment today 09 448 1128‬.....#nuts #culinaria #food #vegan #powerfoods #sweeds #desert #fruits #fizzy #smile #xmas #bachmannsmile #nuts #bachmannorthodontics #foodie #nut #nutrition #culinarychefsportal #cooking #eating #healthylifestyle #healthyfoods

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
