CASH
FOR CANDY
Local Dentist Takes a Stand Against
Sweets this Halloween
MADISON , WI
One area dentist is redefining the
phrase “put your money where your mouth
is.” This Halloween,
trick-or-treaters can bring their excess
candy to Center for Cosmetic Dentistry
in Middleton and receive $1 per pound.
Dr. Chris Kammer is leading this
anti-decay movement by giving away
dollars and glowing electric
toothbrushes in exchange for
cavity-provoking candy.
“Ditch the candy, that’s what we’re
saying. Visiting your dentist
twice a year and brushing daily are
great preventative measures, but doing
away with excess sweets altogether would
really give your teeth a healthy boost,”
says Dr. Chris Kammer from Center for
Cosmetic Dentistry. “Kids can
still have all of the fun of
trick-or-treating, and now their piggy
banks will benefit as well. Plus,
these glowing brushes we're giving out
are really cool—they’re like light
sabers for your mouth.”
Global sugar consumption for kids
increases by about 2% annually and
currently sits at 50 million tons per
year, which means parents need to be
sure their kids teeth are being cared
for more than ever. Candy, as well
as hurting children’s teeth, can lead to
hyperactivity and weight gain. In
some cases, the wrong types of candy can
also lead to broken teeth and damaged
braces.
Candy will be collected at Center for
Cosmetic Dentistry the day after
Halloween only from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
The candy must be unopened. Please no
bites. It will then be shipped to
troops overseas.
Dr. Chris Kammer is one of five dentists
at Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in
Middleton, which emphasizes general
family dental care as well as cosmetic
procedures. Dr. Kammer is
