What with Halloween coming up and so much candy being given to 'Trick or Treaters' - any recommendations ?? maybe dried fruit ? Nuts ?
I do believe small packs are for sale - dried plums (prunes), raisons, craisons, nuts etc.  I'm sure this would be better for the young teeth.
Keep up the good work.

- Absolutely Frank. Many people opt for something completely different with fun-shaped erasers, pen toppers or such. Dried fruit is a great idea, but with more and more nut allergies we would advise to stay away from nuts for the moment. Have a safe, fun halloween!

This is how many teeth were lost in our school term this year. We've been coloring a square each time someone lost a tooth. (Maybe first time parents would find it interesting as they will have some idea of what to expect!) And wouldn't you believe it, one little boy lost a tooth today (with lots of blood!!!!)

Thanks for the newsletter. I'm a 'bit long in the tooth' myself but did enjoy it and it's good getting useful info out there for young kids and their parents.
