Description

 

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  Fine Dentistry in San Diego and receive $1 per pound.  Dr. Sabine Purps is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars and other exciting goodies including toothbrushes and restaurant gift cards 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. Sabine Purps from Fine 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 Fine Dentistry the Wednesday after Halloween,  November 4, 2009 only from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.  The candy must be unopened. Please no bites, and none that is expired.  It will then be shipped to troops overseas through Operation Gratitude with cooperation with the California Army National Guard.   Dr. Sabine Purps owns the Fine Dentistry Practice in San Diego, which emphasizes general family dental care as well as cosmetic procedures in a relaxing spa-like office.   Dr. Purps is available to provide more information at 619-295-6500, or visit Center Fine Dentistry on-line at www.finedentistry.com
