Halloween candy buyback

halloween%20candy%20buyback.jpgIf you're looking for what to do with all that Halloween candy -- and you're worried your kids will eat too much if it stays around the house -- you might want to stop by a dentist's office in the next few days.

Several local dentists are buying candy from kids to save their teeth, and sending the goodies to soldiers overseas.

Maryland Family Magazine has the details on this buyback in Ellicott City. This Timonium dentist has said he'll take part. And in Clarksville, Parmar Family & Cosmetic Dentistry tells me their office will collect candy for the troops between noon and 4 p.m. on Sunday, the day after Halloween.
