Palm Coast, FL – What’s a ghost’s favorite candy? BOO-ble gum!
One area dental office is redefining the phrase “put your money where your mouth is” this Halloween, Flagler Dental Associates will offer one dollar per pound of candy that trick-or-treaters drop off at their two Palm Coast offices.
"Ditch your cavity-provoking candy and get a dollar," says Dr. Ryan Smith, one of four dentists with Flagler Dental Associates.
“Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost,” he said. “Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well.”
Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2% annually and currently sits at 50 million tons per year, which means parents need to be sure their kids teeth are being cared for more than ever. In addition to hurting children’s teeth, candy can also lead to hyperactivity and weight gain. In some cases, certain types of candy can also lead to broken teeth and damaged braces.
Sweet treats will be collected at Flagler Dental Associates from November 1-10 at both Flagler Dental Offices and also at the November 2 First Friday event in Flagler Beach. The candy collected – all of which must be unopened – will be shipped to troops overseas.
Flagler Dental Associates has been serving the Flagler County community for over 40 years. They are accepting new patients and offer cleanings, implants, x-rays, teeth restorations, whitening, crowns, dentures, porcelain bridges, veneers, and more. The office consists of Dr. Lacy, Dr. Olson, Dr. Mahoney, and Dr. Smith. They can be reached via their website at http://flaglerdental.com, or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/
