Banned
Madison, Conn. - A Madison dentist is offering to buyback Halloween candy and then he plans to send it to troops serving overseas.
Dr. Alan Friedler says not all candy is bad for your teeth, especially in moderation.
"Candy by itself is not necessarily bad, it depends on how much you eat and how frequently you eat it and what kind of candy you're eating. Occasional chocolate, occasional candy is not the worst thing in the world, but if you have sticky candy, something that stays in your teeth," Dr. Friedler explained.
He says it's the acids that can give you a ghoulish smile and land you in his chair. He suggests eating candy in moderation and brushing your teeth after. He's offering to buy your child's Halloween candy at $1 a pound and then he'll send it to the troops.
"It wasn't just the candy, the kids actually wrote notes, little hearts out of construction paper, it was touching," Dr. Friedler said.
Last year, Operation Gratitude collected over 600 pounds of candy.
Dr. Friedler's candy buyback will be Monday, November 1st from 3-6pm at 588 Boston Post Road in Madison.
