SUMMARY:The Halloween Candy Buy Back is Back!
DESCRIPTION:A Sweet Way to Make Everyone Smile: The Halloween Candy B
 uy-Back Program!\nEvery kid loves Halloween! So do adults.  As respon
 sible dentists, community members, and US citizens, Halloween Candy Bu
 y Back participants have found a way to keep the fun, while helping ki
 ds and our troops deployed overseas.\nGlobal sugar consumption for kid
 s increases by about 2% annually and currently sits at 50 million ton
 s per year, which means parents need to be sure their kids teeth are b
 eing cared for more than ever.  Candy, as well as hurting childrenâ
 €™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 b
 races. \nThe Halloween Candy Buy Back program encourages dentists and
  businesses nationwide \"buy-back\" Halloween candy from children in t
 heir communities and then send the candy to U.S. Military deployed in 
 combat through Operation Gratitude or other Military support groups.\n
 The troops love the candy--for themselves, but also to give out to the
  children in the communities they patrol. Many Service Members have to
 ld us that the children gave them information on where bombs and bad g
 uys were hidden after receiving our candy and stuffed animals. They sa
 id: \"You are not just putting smiles on our faces; you are saving our
  lives.\"\nAll types of candy are acceptable, including chocolate this
  time of year.\nHalloween Candy Buy Back also encourage writing letter
 s to the troops. In addition, we need small plush animals (like Beanie
  Babies and Webkinz) and handmade scarves for our care packages this y
 ear.\nWe are fortunate enough that these local dentists are participat
 ing this year:\n \nBay Colony Dentistry\nBuy Back Date (s):  Novemb
