KENT, WA, October 23, 2010 (Press-News.org) One Kent, Washington dentist is redefining the phrase "put your money where your mouth is." This Halloween trick-or-treaters 12 and under can bring their unopened excess candy to Dr. Susan Hollinsworth's office on Kent's East Hill and receive $1.00 per pound of candy. Dr. Hollinsworth is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away cash in exchange for cavity-provoking candy.
"Ditch the candy, that's what we're saying. Come up with healthy alternatives, such as nuts, stickers or shells. Kids can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating, pick out a few of their favorites, and have their piggy banks benefit as well," Dr. Hollinsworth explains. "Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether will really give teeth a healthy boost!"
Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2% annually and currently measures approximately 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 broken teeth and damaged braces too.
Unopened candy will be collected at Dr. Sue Hollinsworth's office, 13210 SE 240th St., Ste. B-3, Kent, WA 98042, the day after Halloween - Monday, November 1 from 3:30pm to 6:30pm.
In practice since 1978, Dr. Sue Hollinsworth specializes in family dentistry including TMJ treatment and preventative and cosmetic procedures. For more information about Dr. Hollinsworth's services or practice, please visit her website at http://www.drsuehollinsworth.com or her Facebook page.
