CASH FOR CANDY
Local Dentist Takes a Stand Against Sweets this Halloween

CHANDLER, AZ –
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 Impressions Dental in Chandler and receive $1 per pound and have $.50 donated to their school district, during the 2nd annual Halloween Candy Buy Back event. Dr. Kelly B. Wettstein is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars and flashing 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 would really give your teeth a healthy boost,” says Dr. Wettstein from Impressions Dental. “Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well. Plus, these flashing brushes we're giving out are really cool.”
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 Impressions Dental and Aspen Orthodontics the Monday after Halloween, November 2, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The candy must be unopened. All candy collected will be donated to Operation Gratitude, an organization that provides holiday baskets to troops serving in Iraq.
Dr. Kelly B. Wettstein privately owns Impressions Dental in South Chandler, which emphasizes general family dental care as well as cosmetic procedures. Dr. Wettstein and his Team are available to provide more information at (480) 814-8888, or visit Impressions Dental online at www.ImpressDental.com
