Who doesn’t love a little Halloween candy! With trick or treating on the horizon and trunk or treats and festivities in the works again this fall, you can bet there will be a lot of opportunities for kids to gather a good amount of candy. But sometimes too much of a good thing is, well, too much. Moderation is key when it comes to your child’s health as festive treats can promote tooth decay and damage to teeth and braces.
Halloween Candy Buyback November 1st – 4th
Beginning Tuesday, November 1st – Friday, November 4th, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Family Laser and Cosmetic Dentistry and receive $1 per pound. We are accepting donations during our normal business hours;
- Tuesday: 8:00am – 8:00pm
- Wednesday: 8:00am – 7:00pm
- Thursday: 7:30am – 3:00pm
- Friday: 8:00am – 2:00pm
In addition to getting some change for your overabundance of candy, you can feel good knowing that we’ll be sharing it with our troops and spreading some sweetness! If you donate, your child can also choose to write a note to include with their candy or even draw a picture using materials we’ll have available onsite.
Our practice chose to participate in the Halloween Candy Buyback to help parents that want to limit the amount of damage that can be done to their children’s teeth. “We want to encourage and teach preventative care not just last-ditch efforts to save a smile,” says Dr Mansour, DDS. Dr. Mansour, DDS has joined the movement to reduce gingivitis and anti-decay by giving away dollars, toothbrushes and local favors in exchange for cavity-provoking candy.
