Pumpkins With Braces On Their Teeth?

Its that time of the year again! We really like holidays at Meadows Orthodontics-it gives us a chance to decorate the office and have some fun. Current patients also know that I do several pumpkin carvings every year that are really popular with the kids (and parents too!). I have carved a variety of characters over the years, including Yoda, Star Wars character Watto (the one with the wings), monsters from my imagination, and various characters with braces on their teeth. I use clay carving tools to sculpt the pumpkins and it takes me anywhere from 2-5 hours to finish the project.

We display them at the Founders and Meadows offices…for only a few days. Unfortunately once the carving starts, they start to dehydrate and shrivel away! Yes, I gave tried everything from spraying with water, vaseline,  a bleach spray… nothing seems to slow down the process. I guess that is part of what makes them spacial and so seasonal. Here are some past pumpkins that I have carved, and keep an eye out for the new ones for this year!
