Bowl of candy? Check. Costume on? Check. Pumpkins carved? Check.
We are approaching All Hallow’s Eve and what better day to dress up, go out, and overindulge on sugary sweets? However, take a few precautions before venturing out:
· If you have kids, don’t let them trick-or-treat without supervision
· Don’t let your child eat candy that doesn’t come in a wrapper
· Hold a flashlight when outside so drivers can see you
· But Halloween doesn’t have to be all about the sugar rush and crazy costumes. It can also be a very charitable day:
· Make cards of kindness
· Some children are too ill to go out trick or treating. Make homemade Halloween cards for hospitalized children with life-threatening illnesses and mail to either Love Letters: Random Cards of Kindness or Hugs and Hope.2
· Send candy to the troops
· Many dental offices participate in post-Halloween candy buybacks. Donated sweets are sent to organizations such as Operation Gratitude or Operation Shoebox. Both organizations include the candy in care packages for U.S. soldiers in harm's way. Find a participating dental office near you or get information to start your own collection.
