Trick or Treating is a Fun and Healthy Event!
The Candy Buy-Back Program was a great success and put smiles on many children’s faces as they received a $1 per pound of candy that they turned in at the San Jose 95124 dental office of Dr. Andrew Fong.
The event was initiated by Andrew B. Fong, DDS and his team to raise awareness that too much sugar not only damages a child’s teeth, adds unwanted body weight and increases the possibility of making a child hyperactive. This fun event rewarded children by letting them enjoy the experience and fun of Trick or Treating. The Halloween Candy Buy-Back Program enables children to exchange their excess candies for dental hygiene and health rewards as well as benefiting their piggy banks.
Containers filled with treats from our first year candy trade-off will be donated to Operation: Care and Comfort.
This volunteer organization provides support and comfort to “adopted” units of deployed U.S. military service members, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflict regions. Donations that they receive will be included in care packages that they send to the adopted units every month until they return home.
Our San Jose-Cambrian area dental office will continue to initiate activities to support our community.

San Jose Dentist Hosts a Halloween Candy Buy Back
Halloween is usually a time where kids and parents could have some family fun by dressing up in costumes, getting creative in pumpkin carving and going trick or treating.
However, parents often complained to me that the biggest headache had been trying to prevent their children from consuming too many candies afterwards.
As we all know, there are many drawbacks to eating candy besides the fact that one does not know what is in the bag. Too much sugar can and will make a child hyperactive and restless. All the excess sugar can hurt the child’s teeth and put on body weight as well.
Thus my staff and I will be doing a Halloween Candy Buy-Back event.
We will buy back the candies from the child and thus reward the “good child”, who would not eat all the candy anyway, by letting him or her turn trick or treating into a profitable and fun event!

Note: If you do not have a child that could participate in this program, please pass this link to someone that could benefit or announce it through social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Have fun and stay healthy!
