Candy Buy Back '12

Complete Dental of Mobile, a family dental practice located at 5651 Three Notch Road, is excited to announce its second annual Halloween Candy Buy Back.  

On Thursday, November 1 and Friday, November 2, between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., area children can bring their unopened Halloween goodies to the offices of Complete Dental of Mobile.  Kids will receive $1 for each pound of candy they turn in and, following the event, all the collected treats will be shipped to American soldiers serving overseas.

Offered by dentists across the nation, the Halloween Candy Buy Back gives kids the opportunity to reduce their sugar intake – and their risk of tooth decay – while increasing the funds in their piggy banks.  And the Halloween Candy Buy Back also offers a lesson in giving to others, since all candy collected by the program is shipped to Operation Gratitude at the Army National Guard Armory in Van Nuys, Calif., where it is then distributed to overseas troops.  At the inaugural event in 2011, Complete Dental of Mobile collected 749 pounds of candy and, this year, their goal is 1,000 pounds. Adults and local businesses are also invited to donate candy towards the goal.

Complete Dental of Mobile offers an array of services from traditional family dentistry to cosmetic and implant dentistry procedures.
