Amazing Smiles Annual Halloween Candy Exchange

In Order to promote good dental health habits, Amazing Smiles is conducting its' ANNUAL HALLOWEEN CANDY EXCHANGE.  Consumption of candy, soft drinks, and other sugary snacks can cause cavities in teeth.  In an effort to discourage sugary snacks, Amazing Smiles invites all local children to bring their Halloween sweets in exchange for other fun and exciting treats.  Children will be able to trade their candy for a variety of gift certificates to be used at stores such as: Best Buy, Toys R Us, and Target.  Additionally, grand prize gift baskets will be presented to the children who bring in the most candy (by weight).  There will be three age groups awarded gift baskets: Age 5 and under, 6 through 9 and 10 years and older.  For more information, please call Dr. Robert Thies at -708-444-SMILE (708-444-7645).

We are proud to have been the first in the area to promote good oral habits through the candy exchange.  We have been doing this for the past twelve years.

Every year we donate the candy to charities!  We will once again sending the candy to our soldiers.
