Trick or Treating is a Fun and Healthy Event!

November 7th, 2011 by sanjose_family_dentist in Uncategorized

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.
