Before you buy that Halloween candy…

At Artistic Touch Dentistry, we know you don’t want to be THAT house in the neighborhood that gives away unwanted Halloween treats. You want to give away the good stuff! But rather than spending your money on yet another bag of high fructose cavity-builders, how about considering a different type of holiday treat?

Before you stock up on candy for trick-or-treaters, consider:

stickers! Kids love stickers and your treats will stand out from the crowd.
bubbles
sugar-free gum
dollar bills
silly putty
silly string
and all sorts of other non-food treats!

Sure, a little candy won’t harm anyone–especially if you brush 20 minutes after indulging–but non-food items are also a hit for kids who are inundated with treats this season.

So before you buy your stash of Halloween candy, consider non-food items as treats this year. You could be surprised how much kids appreciate something different!
