Cash for Candy - Local Dentists Take a Stand Against Sweets this Halloween

PALM COAST, Fla. - Oct. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Flagler Dental Associates is hosting their third annual Candy Buy Back program Nov. 1st through 10th to all area trick-or-treaters.

An ongoing tradition to encourage children to take better care of their teeth and trade in the sugary sweets for a dollar per pound, has become staple in Flagler Dental’s mission for better dental hygiene.

“The bacteria in your mouth feeds on sugar which breaks down the tooth enamel that protects your teeth,” said Dr. Ryan Smith. “We want to try to help break the sugar habit in our youngest patients,” he added.

The unopened candy is being collected at both Flagler Dental Associates locations during regular business hours and will be sent overseas to deployed soldiers. All children are welcome to participate.

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.
