🎃 Happy Halloween from HBB PCN! 👻
As you enjoy the spooky season, here are a few friendly health tips to help keep your Halloween safe and fun:
🦷 Sweets in moderation – A little treat is fine, but too many can be tricky for teeth and tummies. Don’t forget to brush!
🚶‍♂️ Stay visible – If you're out trick-or-treating, wear something reflective and carry a torch to stay safe in the dark.
🍬 Check treats before eating – Especially important for little ones or anyone with allergies.
🤧 Feeling unwell? – Remember, if you or your child are feeling under the weather, we’re here to help as are your local pharmacy.
Have a safe, spooky, and healthy Halloween! 🎃
