Happy Halloween!

October has finally arrived for Princeton Restorative & Implant Dentistry and we are excited to get into the Halloween spirit! We will be adding treats and a few decorations to our staff lounge. Below, our awesome Hygienist Maria Higgins shares some of her favorite things about this time of year and Halloween.

This year, like years before, Maria is excited to greet her patients wearing her traditional cat ears, her patients look forward to it every year. Her favorite costume to date is when her grandson Vinny asked her to be a "Firefly" for Halloween.  Maria’s costume had large wings and a tail that lit up! She took an empty coca-cola bottle and put a glow stick in it and belted it around her waist! Very innovative.

There’s nothing better than having some sweet treats this time of year. Her favorite candy is Strawberry Twizzlers. She especially loves to indulge in them during the Halloween season. For Maria’s candy bowl at home, she loves to add little rubber toy fingers.   When the Trick or Treaters come, they love to see the fingers emerging amongst the candy!

One of Maria’s favorite parts of Halloween is feeling festive and watching the joy of children all dressed up in their costumes! It’s wonderful to see children excited about dressing up as their favorite animals or characters and being reminded of our own Halloween memories. Maria remembers being a Mummy as a child! Her mother ripped up several sheets and wrapped them around her!  What a great memory!

In addition to the costumes, the candy, and the decor, there are so many great movies, too. Witches is her favorite movie to watch at this time of year! It’s a definite classic. 

We hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!
