Cash for Candy
Local Dentist Takes a Stand against Sweets this Halloween
Area dentists are redefining the phrase “put your money where your mouth is.” This Halloween, trick or theaters can bring the excess candy to Dr. Kristin Rushing and Dr. Lee Coulter’s office and receive $1 per pound; Drs. Rushing and Coulter are leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollar 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. Rushing. “Kids can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefits as well. Plus, these glowing brushes we are giving out are really cool- they are like light sabers for you mouth.”
Global sugar consumption for kid’s 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.
The Nashville Smile Team will be collecting candy at The Office of Dr. Kristin Rushing and Dr. Lee Coulter at 4809 Trousdale Drive, Nashville, TN on November 2nd from 2:30 to 5:30pm. The candy must be unopened. Please no bites. It will then be shipped troops overseas.
The Office of Dr. Kristin Rushing and Dr. Lee Coulter are located in the Crieve Hall area of Nashville, just north of Brentwood. Our office specializes in general family dental care as well as cosmetic procedures. More information is available at 615-331-9033 or visit on-line at www.NashvileSmileTeam.com
