Halloween is a great time to dress up and go 'trick or treating', to collect the biggest bag of goodies possible. But there 's a dark side it 's the worst night of the year for teeth. Many of the gooey, sticky, hard or crunchy candies are murder on braces, and they 're no treat even for teeth without braces. Cavities lurk in those bulging goodie bags.
Because of this Dr. Griggs will trade your collected candy for tokens that you can trade for prizes. The candy collected will be shipped to our service men and women serving overseas. Additionally, Dr. Griggs will make a generous donation to a local charity based on the amount of candy collected.
