Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup diced watermelon
• 1/3 cup diced strawberries

• 1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice or orange juice

Directions:

1. Combine diced fruit in a bowl and fill each 5 oz cup with fruit. 
2. Add 1 tbsp of juice and insert craft sticks into each cup. They easily stay in place because of all the fruit.

Did you know orthodontic treatment is not just for cosmetic purposes?
Straight teeth aren’t just pretty, they’re healthy, too. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to clean, thereby reducing the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease. Having a good healthy bite alignment not only makes it easier to eat and speak but also will enhance your dental and overall health as well.
