This morning Dr. Melissa Naidyhorski from Metro Dentalcare in Chanhassen stopped by to tell us about their upcoming candy buy-back program and to share a few tips for keeping your teeth healthy this Halloween.

On November 1, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., participating Metro Dentalcare practices are sponsoring a Halloween candy buy-back program to encourage children and their families to exercise smile-friendly habits all year long.

Children 12 and under can receive $1 per pound of candy they exchange (up to five pounds each child). All candy collected will be donated to Ronald McDonald House charities, for kids who couldn't go trick-or-treating. Free toothbrushes provided. Games and prizes. Don't forget to wear your Halloween costume. There will be special prizes for the best costumes too.
