CASH FOR CANDY
Local Dentist Takes a Stand against Sweets this Halloween
SANDWICH, IL - What's a ghost's favorite candy? BOO-ble gum!
One area dentist is redefining the phrase "put your money where your mouth is." This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to THE WATERS DENTAL GROUP IN SANDWICH and receive $1 per pound. Dr.'s Waters and Winckler are leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars and glowing toothbrushes in exchange for cavity-provoking candy.
"Ditch the candy, that's what we're saying. 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," says Dr. John Waters from The Waters Dental Group. "Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well. Plus, these glowing brushes we're giving out are really cool -- they're like light sabers for your mouth."
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. Candy, as well as hurting children's teeth, can lead to hyperactivity and weight gain. In some cases, the wrong types of candy can also lead to broken teeth and damaged braces.
Candy will be collected at The Waters Dental Group Tuesday November 2nd from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The candy must be unopened. Please no bites. It will then be shipped to troops overseas.
Dr. John Waters and Dr. Adam Winckler of The Waters Dental Group emphasizes general family dental care as well as cosmetic procedures. Dr. Waters and Winckler are available to provide more information at 815-786-2146, or visit The Waters Dental Group on-line at www.waterdentalgroup.com
