IMG_4317.JPG

Wondering what to do with all of that scary, cavity-causing, bracket-breaking Halloween candy?!

At Heights Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, we are buying back your Halloween candy! All patients will receive $1 for each pound of candy they bring in (and 50 cents per pound for non-patients) for a maximum of $5. It starts November 1st and will continue through November 14th.

But don’t worry, we aren’t keeping the candy for ourselves!!

The candy will then be donated along with a toothbrush to our troops overseas through Operation Gratitude! Other items included in their care packages are snacks, entertainment, and personal letters.

We hope you will join us in trading in that spooky candy for some CASH, and caring for our troops all at the same time!
