Halloween Candy Swap
For adults and children…..help our U.S. troops overseas with your leftover Halloween candy. All the Halloween candy collected will be included in the Christmas packages being sent to our U.S. troops courtesy of Cape Cod Cares for the Troops. Adult candy collection will be Nov 1st – Nov 5th during business hours. The children’s candy swap will be Nov 1st 5-7pm. Each child who donates candy will get $1.00 per pound and will be entered to win a bicycle from Orleans Cycle. There will be gift certificates from Wendy’s in Orleans. and for the first 25 children who arrive at our office on Nov 1st they will receive a Firefly Flashing Toothbrush. So have fun on Halloween and on November 1st come to our office to donate your candy.
For the third year one area dentist on the Cape is redefining the phrase “Eating your own leftover Halloween candy” This Halloween, trick-or-treaters and adults can bring their excess candy to East Brewster Dental in Brewster, MA.. Dr. Stephen Bellorini is leading this anti-decay movement by collecting the candy that will be donated to the U.S. troops overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Working with Dylan and Michelle Desilva from Cape Cod Cares for the Troops, the candy is incorporated into the holiday care packages they send in December . Last year , we donated over 600lbs of candy that was placed in over 1500 care packages .
“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. Stephen Bellorini from East Brewster Dental.
“Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their donation can help put a smile on the faces of our troops fighting in other countries .”Dr. Bellorini states , “We have been told that the solders will exchange the candy with the children and in return the children provide them with vital information as to where land mines are hidden , so the candy helps save their lives”.
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.
