Roseville Children’s Dentist and Orthodontist Gives Cash for Candy to Support the Troops – Rockville Smiles Announces Halloween Candy Buy-Back Program
Halloween candy buy back program for Roseville Pediatric dentist and orthodontist.
Roseville, CA, October 21, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Rockville Smiles is once again holding its annual Halloween candy buy-back program, November 1 – 3, 2017.
This is the second year that Rockville Smiles has offered the program which is designed to accomplish two goals. First, the program entices young patients to donate candy that might be harmful to their orthodontics and secondly it encourages children to give back by donating their candy to the men and women serving our country overseas.
“I see more cases of broken brackets, wires and liners after Halloween,” said orthodontist Dr. Marina Milstein. “Our candy buy-back program gives our patients and the Roseville community a cash alternative to eating candy. Plus, our staff loves working with Move America Forward to donate the candy for care packages to our troops.”
“Limiting excess sweets, daily brushing and flossing go a long way to preventing tooth decay,” said pediatric dentist Dr. Dmitry Pivnik. “People in the Roseville community are very generous with candy. Last year we gave away over $1000 to local kids and patients. We really hope we can double that this year!” added Pivnik.
The program is simple. Any trick-o-treater or patient can come into our practice at 721 Pleasant Grove Blvd. in Roseville from November 1-3, 2017. Their staff will weigh the child’s candy and give each child $1 for every pound of candy they bring in. They also invite local schools to join the fun. For every pound of candy they collect, they will donate $2 per pound back to the school.
Rockville Smiles has partnered with non-profit Move America forward to process all the candy, pack and ship it to our troops. They have also partnered with Make-a-Wish. Any child donating their candy on behalf of Make-a-Wish will receive $1 per pound of candy plus, Rockville Smiles will donate $1 per pound to the non-profit on the child’s behalf.
