Halloween is a scary time for dentists because we worry about our favorite patients eating all of that Halloween candy and showing up at our office with cavities.  Some patients feel that if they just eat a little each day, they can minimize the damage.  NOT TRUE!!  By eating candy every day you are creating a perpetual sugar bath for your teeth and this can definitely lead to cavities.  So here's the deal:  I, Dr. Gladnick, will buy back your Halloween candy for $2 per pound.  Just bring it to my office at the Kirkwood Professional Plaza where we will weigh it and give you the cash plus a special prize. 

Have a Happy and safe Halloween!
