Easter falls on Sunday, April 4 this year.

Here are some ways you can keep Easter alive at home. Read on to learn more.

#1. Decorate eggs

You can boil eggs and use food dye or even food from your own pantry (like beets, turmeric or onion skins) to create multicoloured eggs for Easter.

#2. Have an indoor Easter egg hunt

Hide eggs in the dryer, under your bed or in the cabinet (make sure they don’t fall and crack). Then watch your loved ones look around for them.

#3. Do Easter-themed arts and crafts

Make paper bunnies or craft flowers out of cardboard; the possibilities are endless.

#4. Watch Easter-themed movies

Whether you choose the fun route with a film like “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” or “Hop” or opt for deeper fare like “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Robe” or “Ben-Hur,” an Easter screening is a safe and fun way to acknowledge the holiday.

#5. Dress up! Wear your Sunday best

Brush your hair and wear something sparkly for the day, and let the kids choose their own special outfit.

#6. Cook an Easter meal

If the bare grocery store shelves aren’t an obstacle, buy the materials to cook your favourite holiday dinner.

#7. Whip up some Easter-themed snacks

Devilled eggs, cookies or even brownies will be a sweet way to celebrate Easter indoors.

#8. See your family and friends virtually

Thanks to video apps like FaceTime, Google Hangouts and Messenger Video, you can still share your Easter lunch or dinner with your nearest and dearest.

This season’s Easter celebrations may not resemble those from years past, but at Port Macquarie Dental Centre, we believe it can still be an opportunity to do something special with the people you love the most.

Oral Health Care Tips While Staying at Home

Our oral health should always be a priority. In addition to visiting your local dental team when possible, don’t forget the simple day-to-day habits that will help you keep a healthy mouth.

• Brush at least twice a day.
• Clean between your teeth every day using interdental brushes or floss and consider using mouthwash.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Cut down on your consumption of sugary foods and drinks.

Port Macquarie Dental Centre will be prohibiting all routine dental treatments at the moment until a later date.

However, we are still open for emergency and urgent treatments.

Please call the surgery if you need any assistance or clarification. Call us Port Macquarie dentist on (02) 6583 1711 to book your appointment.
