As a local Cedar Park Dentist, we are always looking for ways to be engaged and connect with our community. While we love the fun costumes and the festive fall celebrations as much as anyone, as a dentist it is challenging to condone or promote the excessive consumption of candy. There is no single holiday that can do more damage to children’s teeth.
That’s why the Reveal Dental team is proud to announce that we are continuing our annual Candy Buy Back program to support Operation Gratitude! We love to see growing participation every year, and expect our largest turn out ever this year. Here’s how it works.
Get Cash for Candy AND Support Our Troops at Reveal Dental
From November 3-7, we encourage children and their parents to bring any Halloween candy collected to us here at Reveal Dental. We’ll pay $1 per pound of candy, up to five pounds. Cash might not be as sweet as candy, but it certainly is much better for the teeth!
However, we’re not hoarding this candy for ourselves. Instead, it will go into care packages to be shipped to our soldiers overseas through Operation Gratitude. Soldiers have limited access to foods from home – candy included – so these Halloween treats will be a great morale-booster. It’s also a great way to say that Cedar Park wants our overseas troops to be happy!
It’s really that simple. Bring us your candy, we’ll pay you for it, and we’ll support the troops.
Help Children Understand the Dangers of Sugar Consumption
We certainly want kids to have a great Halloween, but children should be encouraged to eat candy in moderation. With the candy buy-back initiative, your children can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating. Afterward, you can help them understand why sharing it –and getting cash- is a much better idea than eating all of it! Pick out some of their favorite pieces or types of candy, and sell the rest to us, it’s a win – win!
