Are You Looking for a Place to Unload Your Excess Halloween Candy This Year?

From Shawn Watson, About.com Guide   October 26, 2009

If you are concerned about the amount of Halloween candy that will make its way into your home this year, I have compiled a list of the Top Halloween Candy Tips for Healthy Teeth, that should do the trick. I know many of you experience a candy overload, especially when one or more of your children go out trick-or-treating. What should you do with all of that candy?

I was introduced to the Smiles Change Lives program earlier this year, and could not wait to share their information with you. Have a look at my profile on the Smiles Change Lives program, and when you're done, I'm sure you will know exactly what to do with all of your extra/leftover candy!

I think your non-profit program is great. Why not help children in low income families with dental care? I see all these commercials about helping kids in other countries for the price of a cup of coffee. What about people in our own country? Lets take care of our own first!

Shawn, that’s a great list of tips you made.

Giving the candy to homeless people? I’m shaking my head at that one. We don’t want to give our children that tooth-rotting, pancreas-stressing junk but we hand it over to the homeless? Don’t they have enough problems?

Let me stop and say I love your blog and the contribution you’re making. This is the first and only time I didn’t agree with you.

Sorry Shawn. Leave it to me to read through the entire article and pick on the one thing I didn’t like.

We dentist’s can be such fault-finders and buzz-kills.

Hope the program was a great success.
